How Can i do it alone

[danamarie133]

I have been snorting opana for the last six months and like alot of people i cant get motivatied unless i have some in my system. I want to quit so bad but i have two children and do not want to leave them for that long to go into a rehab center so i want to try to do it alone. If i dont stop taking them i am going to loose everything so i want to fix the problem asap can anyone give me any ideas on how to do this alone?

    I am detoxing from Opana, taken orally.  I can't stand to have this little bottle of pills in control of too much in my life.  I was on well over 40 mg Opana ER (40 mg ER plus 30 mg short release).  I am happy to say I just got to 20 mg Opana ER, and I am going to keep decreasing ever so slightly because I can't wait to be in control of mind and emotions again.
   Both Angel_ina and I are tapering.  I strongly suggest that you ask yourself if you are making progress.  If you are, then keep up the taper.  If not then consider going CT.  I am not sure how this would be going if I got a high from my Opana.  The feelings of worry about getting off pills are --of course--because our bodies are so used to being on them.  Is your body addicted to snorting Opana?  Do you feel a high from it?  
    I am praying that you will see the way you should go.  Big hug, Marie

HI  .....we have a wise member on here who says
'''the desire to get clean must exceed the desire to get high'' ....there is no truer of a statement if you really want it bad and your in good health you can do this from home .....im a little confused about your gender your nic looks like a girl but your profile says your a guy ?? ether way its the same just dont want to be calling you dude id your a girl...lol anyway if your ready to set it down the fasted way is C/Tor just jumping off .....you will be sick with flu like symptoms for 4 or 5 days coming off opana  the best thing you can bring to the table is a positive attitude this is a win win you wont be chained to the pills when your done and you will have your life back....I tell everybody starting out get comfortable with the saying ....
'''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile'' this to shall pass ....look down to the lower right of the screenand look up the thomas recipe pick up the things suggested pick up a case of gatoraid also you will need to force fluidsyou might want to rent a buch of movies your probably not going to sleep for a week
and my favorite cure all for withdrawals is a nice hot soak it takes care of most of the symptoms.....keep reading the posts so you know what to expect post often for support and let us know when your starting so wee can check in with you from time to time this is hard but it is doable you cant keep dooing what your doing it will get worst and worst and eventually kill you I look forward to helping you get off this stuff good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

angel _lina: I am also doing my detox at home; What day are you on?

Again, it can be done at home(like angel _lina) and all alone danamarie just like me. Day 5 here I come(God willing)

I am doing my detox at home.......I do not have support from anyone.......I also have two small children at home to tend to..........it is is not an easy thing to do but I can't leave my children......it takes a lot of willpower to do this CT or tapering which I found works best for me......

I find that even that I am doing this alone at my home......I am truely not alone.....whichever route you choose everyone on this forum is extremely supportive and helpful.

You will get through this.....we all will get through this.......one day at a time.

And I just want to mention that if you truly do need rehab, you should do it.  It might be hard for the kids in the short-term but if it means they get their Dad back it's worth it for the long-term.  Just something to think about.

Good luck to you.

I am doing this at home for the second time after 3 years of being clean, and I am on day 4 today. So it can be done if you put your mind to it. It will be like taking care of your children while you have the flu.

Try and get some prescription sleep meds from your doctor so you can at least sleep at night during your withdrawals..
