Hi there and congratulations in your decision to quit the pills!! Good for you. That is awesome! Could you tell us what you were taking and how much and for how long? If you could give a little more info on your history, a lot of people will be able to answer you question with more precision. And much better than I could. I will have 30 days clean tomorrow from opioids, and let me just say, the detox is a breeze compared to the "recovery". That is where the hammer hits the road and you have to dig your heels in and really want it. The mental part is the pits. Like I said, I'm a new bee on here, but everyone is so helpful, supportive and can relate to your situation. Just keep strong, and DON'T GIVE UP!!!
Thanks ...I havethe 90 locked up..I don't know the combo...My BF does..I quit smoking 6 mo ago and kept a pack unopened it still on the counter,,Its a Mental thing with me as long as its there I can quit..I know its weird but it works for me ...Ive been taking 3-5 pills as prescribed for 10 years from a bad accident ...I was on 6 percs a day and the doc switched me to Vics...I told him I wanted off and he thinks I will have to be on the forever? No way...There not helping ..I have a addictive personality and quit drinking 6 yrs ago ..I was noticing I needed the darn pills to function get up , clean , workout ect ...I quit Tuesday at 7 pm so Its been almost 5 days ?? My brain is not working ...I have some family functions to go to in a week ..I hope Im ok by then?? Ugh thius ***** ...
Welcome to the forum! Good for you....deciding to take your life back is the best decision you will ever make.
88 hrs in is HUGE! Most people say the first 100 hours are the most brutal....for the physcial part.....and each person progresses at a different pace. Since you used for 10 yrs.....be patient with yourself...the brain and body take time to heal. Our nervous systems really take a beating and each day we don't put an opiate in our bodies....we are HEALING!!
You mentioned in your first post that you quit with a bottle of 90 vics in your house. Sure hope you have gotten rid of them....as well as cutting off all your sources, telling your dr./dealer(s) etc. that you are done.
If you haven't heard about the 3 "S's"....sources, secrets, support.....they represent the 3 s's in the word SUCCESS. To be successful in not only GETTING clean....but STAYING clean we need to eliminate sources, share our previously guarded secret addiction with someone that we can be accountable to and get some aftercare support. The only place "success" comes before "work"...is in the dictionary....LOL
Wishing you success on the road to recovery~
