Hi all, thank you for all the help on this forum thread, I thought I was going insane.
A brief history: Suffered a nose condition, pescribed steriods, outcome without details, both hips needed replacing, was put on Oxycontin, and as the weeks went on so did my dosage, 240 mgs a day, well had op and was told ' carry on with painkillers', after 3 months I thought I should not need these anymore and cut down by half, the result was flu like feelings and a lot of muscle pain, this went on for 6 weeks feeling like ****, then I decided to STOP. Nothing prepared me for the HELL I was about to visit, all the symtoms, 85hrs off now, still got the sweats real bad, ( slept in dressing gown for warmth), and this morning it is soaked, and the what I call 'Crazy Arms and Legs', no wonder they call it 'Kicking the Habit'.
I thank God for this forum thread, boy have you great people helped, and I wanted to tell you I have kept a diary from the first hour I went CT to try and help others in the same boat, and to warn others of the danger of this drug, let's hope a few doctors read it, as it seems to me they should be more aware of the pitfalls.I will write up the diary when I feel I am clean and post all over the web on sites like this.
Kindest regards and keep at it, I'm sure we will all come clean together.

I have found that Cold Turkey is the only way Gordon, now you have to fight the meth withdrawal, it's awfuk, the muscle pain and crazy legs, but it will subside, and just imagine your life free of any dependence, bliss, go for ot bud, a few days of hell for years of freedom. Wish you all the best.

Good luck man it is so hard to quit for just one day,by missing your sleep tonight and the withdrawal effects just hang in there day 2 is going to be over soon. Don't buy and try to wein yourself off never works.
this is the last time and im pretty sure it is... no more drugs need to get responisible nd ****... neways... heroine withdrawl...my mail problems cold feeling and goose bumps every time i swallow....the runs are under control due to immodium just took one since this morning but its working well....other problems include deppression and restlessness anxiety...but its just like a really bad flu ...just need to think its a bad flu and taking heroine wont solve it...second day according to thomas recipe is almost over ... drinkin a lil alcohol makes it a lil beter dont think ill develop an alcohol problem ...never have... ill get of that its better than taking heroine anyways...thanks ya'all gimme tips for the next day...i.e day 3.... this is a gr8 place and i really appreciate all the support...
your right..its sad the amount of lies we tell out loved ones and even ourselves....i was in denial a long time b4 i quit....u have done this b4 and u know u can do it again...why dont u make this the last time though......putting urself thru this over and over again is pointless but i do understand how it is too ...when ur tempted or u get upset or whatever triggers u to use u dont think about all the hell u went thru to get clean.....posting on here helps tremendously and we do care.....have u read the thomas recipe?.....it worked for me with oc w/d i dont see why it wouldnt help u also....do u have anything to help u sleep? immodium also helps with the runs.....do u get the runs with herione w/d? i hate to sound stupid...i just wanna help u.....what symtoms do u get with herione w/d?...u dont have to answer its cool......
thanks for your comment and no i dont think your being rude... i really do wanna quit i have the money and the means to get more heroine but the real reason why i wanna quit is because i cant keep lying to my parents or my girlfriend...even though their not here with me ... the guilt is something i cant keep up with for any longer...and i really feel like heroine has been eating me from the inside... i really need to get my life back on track... i was doing heroine like 5 months back aswell had been doing it for two months like now and quit on my own without any help so im pretty sure i just need the motivation to go through these 4-5 days ....
hi and welcome to the forum congratulations on making ur first step towards recovery....now time for tuff love lol....alcohol to replace herione?..not a good idea u would just be replacing one addiction for another dont u think?... i was addicted to oxycontin for yrs and from what ive heard it is very close to herione w/d.....its hell to do it c/t(cold turkey) but it is possible......since u havent been using long maybe ur w/d will not be all that bad but i have never done herione so iw ouldnt know but if it is like oxycontin physical w/d will last anywhwere from 5-7 days..the worst of it anyway...the mental lasts longer ......do u want to get clean or r u just out of drugs money etc? im just curious and i dont mean to sound mean but u have to give us more detail so we will know how to help u better.....hope this helps and feel free to email me with anything u need to know ok....

With any addiction in detox i would say drinking would not be a good idea .However i will let others chime in.
