Hydrocodone addict
Hello I've been reading the posts for a few weeks in preparation. And I'm now only 24hours off them as I write this. At this point I feel a little restless but I'm confident I can do this with the help of my love. I was reading the posts and crying this morning because I kept hearing my all to private and debilitating secret being told over and over. It's really comforting to know that I'm not alone. So the main difference in my story from the others I've read is the number I take every day. Up until about a year ago I was pretty steady at 15-20 a day. I'm at the point now that I'm not really sure how many but I'm sure I took 30 a day at least on average probably up to 45 or more even. I stopped keeping track, probably because I didn't want to know how badly I was/am treating my body. So I guess I don't have any questions really, just wanted to share and hopefully help someone. Please comment, it would really help me get through this.
I'll take all the help I can get :)
Thanks,
Sean

You may probably be one of the rare ones who are extremely lucky to have only mild withdrawals. With Hydrocodone you should be way farther into some unpleasant symptoms by now and on top of that you are sleeping. That tells me you will probably get off lucky this time. I have not slept for 8 days before even on just hydrocodone! Even though it is easy this time you should never go back because it may not be so easy next time and that is also a poisonous dose of acetaminophen you were taking. Great job on getting those 37 hours in friend. ! Keep it up and never go back ;))
Okay I'm hanging in there.... I have a question though. I took the last of the pills 4 10/325's Tuesday at around 2pm. So I've been counting since then but I was wondering if I start counting after the effects wear off. If I count from the last dose it will be 72 hours today at 2pm yay or not? Am I thinking too much? I'm just expecting really bad WD's but still just feels like a really bad cold. Am I thinking too much? Does it matter?
Glad you were able to get some sleep. That's good news indeed! Congratulations on making it 60 hrs. You are in the thick of it right now, but everything should start getting better very quickly. Hang in there, keep up the fight, and keep posting. Take care...
Hey everybody. 5 am I've been up for an hour. I got more sleep than last night. Still feeling about the same almost 60 hours now.
My girl is the best she's making me some herbal tea and she has been soooooo great.... I honestly believe having her to get better for is making this whole process a lot easier. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her. I know I need to get better for myself but she is my motivation I CANT let her down. Plus I gotta stick around cuz I'm gonna ask that girl to marry me once I'm clean. Sorry just emotional and rambling.....
Once again thanks for all the encouraging words and apologies if I missed answering any questions

I was wondering when I was gonna start to crave one but so far so good, thanks for the heads up. I'm just more worried about the physical part... My girlfriend and I have been talking a lot about how to handle it when I'm emotionally weak. Not to mention I AM DETERMINED TO STOP FOREVER
Hi,
The first couple of days, I felt so free....I was doing all the suggested remedies for physical withdrawal. The epsom salts also help detoxify...but it was about a week into it, the emotional roller coaster started. But I was prepared for it, because the good folks on this forum told me what to expect, and that they too had experienced what I was going through. So, I didn't feel alone. Stay close to the forum, it saved my life!
