I am back the new relapse queen

Not gonna go into detail so of you may know me. Ii was clean for over a year and all it took was 1 time. Well here I am a year later worse off than ever. With that said I woke up one day an realized how bad I was screwing my life up, affecting my family and etc. Not to mention the fact that I am lucky I am not in jail. So I took the plunge and dove in again. I am at the end of day 2 and all has been pretty much as expected.
The difference this time... I told everyone. My whole family. My family, well I like to say thick as Theives. With that said I am FORCING my self to eat and FORCING exercise. You get out of it what you put in right?!! I have 2 little girls and a family that is my world and I know if it don't stop I will die. Crazy thing is I wasn't raised this way and I know better. I have everything in the world yet I have nothing:(... What I do feel right now is no more guilt and no more feeling like I am living a lie. But man it sure does suck. I am fighting for my life here. Anyways, I am going in with a different approach and really just wanted to get back established here. The time I quit for a year I swear I could not have done it without this forum... Just looking for more support

Oh I am sorry, most wouldn't reccomed it but I would say to take a benzo.... Short term.... Only as needed!!! It will take the edge off but you have to start coming off of it as soon as your wd's subside otherwise your taking a chance of becoming addicted to something else.
Exercise will get that anxiety out as well even if you have to force it. Hang in there, you can do this!!!

I only made it 20 hours and was in such pain I believed it would kill me. I must find a new approach. Cold turkey is not going to work. Any idea's of meds that would help not hinder the process. I was so anxiety filled I was crawling out of my skin.

I have been clean off meth for the past decade. I was as bad as it gets on that drug, 90lbs soaking wet and 5'9. I was not that pretty. I just got over bladder cancer, found out I have an incurable thyroid disorder and am bloody addicted to my pain pills. And, a bit of valium on top of that. I have been to rehab. Hell, I have worked at rehabs. Now here I am as unsuspecting as any retard may have been about opiates, not my drug of choice BTW. It is the physical withdrawl that is killing me, I have watched this but never kicked the opiate demon. Meth was just sleeping and eating for about a week, no real physical pain involved. Well, this is different, very painful. I take about 300 pills a month of norco, and 60 valium which are gone in the last week of every month. That week is over with. Now I can start the real pain. I have 15 hours and a **** load of pain left in store. How exactly am I going to pull this off, I have no clue. Raw determination I guess. I have about 10 norco in my possesion. I know it is unconvetional beating Satan with His demon in your hand, but somehow it is giving me solice right now. I have no reservations. I got "hooked" unsuspectingly. I just did not believe it possible that "I" could ever be so addlbrained as to actually develope a physical addiction. I used the drug for the right reasons. I guess I am human, I refuse to berate myself further, as I know that in order for me to really quit and it work, I must be real, honesty must be of the highest importance right now. Never doubt the power of any drug that is what I have learned. I am here for help. An invisable ear to listen to me. Someone who relates. I do not want to die and anyone who takes these many pills a month is in danger. I must overcome this. Together "we" can!
