I am looking into therapy tomorrow.  I have severed all connections so I know I can do this.  I really like the small goal idea that is wonderful.  I work tomorrow so my goals will be small but they will be there.  Today I am gonna make a nice dinner even though I know I will crap it out .  Bkitty I would b happy if u kept an eye on me on here because you have given me the greatest hope.  Thank you

Yikes! Ya,,that will set you back a little bit. BUT the good news is you are here and willingly wanting to get sober. You are gonna start at the beginning again with the detox. 24-72 hours after your last pill the w/d's are settling in-the physical ones. Having been thru them before I know you know what to expect. It looks like the mental hell is what snagged ya. You need to have a plan in place to address that when it creeps up cuz It will come back. Cancel the scripts or lose numbers of any contacts or ways that you have that connect you to the pills. When you hear the "out of sight outta mind" saying it is really true here. You cant have accsess to the pills. Are you open to NA meetings or a support group? I was suprised at how much that helped me this time.
Hang in there,,about after the 3rd day you will feel like getting up some. You are gonna have to force yourself too. I felt like I had 50lb weights on each limb. It *****,,I know. But be patient with yourself and your body. The best thing I did was set small goals for each day the first week like : brush teeth,,take shower,,change sheets,,clean bathroom. Just small things that I knew I could accomplish. I didnt want to get out of the bed either but I did have to force myself. One day at a time. Hang in there ((hugs))~Bkitty

You've probably got about 4 days of crap, then another 10 before you start feeling close to normal.
