Day 3 from Vicodin

[FarOut000]

So today is my 3rd full day without those pills we hate to love.  I feel like I have the flu..I have been drinking gatoraid, taking the hylands for restless legs, 800 motrin (due to back issues)....Honestly, I still feel like crap...am I nearing the end of this nonsense I got myself tangled up in.  My plan tomorrow is to start walking and moving around instead of moaning on the couch.  My addiction started around 1 1/2 to 2 years ago when I had a chronic cough and was given Tussionex - wow how I loved that stuff.  It totally stopped my coughing and made you feel great.  I took that stuff for heck months...until I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back - well as luck would have it I was prescribed Vicodin with has the same crap in it as the cough medicine Tussionex had. Well long story short I have finally come to my senses and gave it all up.  I can do it...but man oh man this withdrawal is really terrible....

Hang in there!  You are definitely past the really bad part if you are on day 4.   I am on day 8 and feeling a thousand times better than last week.  You will feel a little bit better every day.  I don't go to any support groups but I now know what they mean when they say "one day at a time"   Just remember that every day without a pill is going to make you stronger.
