So weird

I  completely stop taking norcos on Sunday after 2 1/2 years! I have stopped before but always slipped up!! So weird that this time around I really don't feel any WD!! How is this possible?? Sleep is ok RLS not to bad!! The only 2 first days where filled with anxiety!!! Is the WDs going to come sneaking up on me? Today is day 5 and I feel great! All the other times I have done ct I was miserable. Any advice on why this is would be great!!

Oh and my doctor is not a dr that gives out benzo or any opiates!! So I'm safe I think? He have me something that is a non narcotic for anxiety.

Nah I think you're going to be fine. As long as none of them meds weren't any type of opiates to prolong this then you're doing good physically. By day five I felt way way better than 1-3. Not great by any means but ok. I went through my detox with you I think actually. I'd only been clean maybe a week when you first joined the site. No matter what though I'm very glad you're feeling good! Get this clean life started Hun!! xox

I have not thought of after care as nobody know except my brother and sister! My sister is an addict her self and going threw it right now!! She is the one that started me on these devils! I can't blame her because I'm old enough to right from wrong but I will have to say I didn't know that u would get sick from not taking them!! I talk to my brother all the time for he has been in rehab twice over a 5yr span he was doing meth tho.:( he has been sober for 6 months and has worked the program!  Idk why this time around is so easy for me it's really weird!! I don't take any benzo last time I did!! I do sleep aid and sleepy tea!! Hot baths and rub the **** out do my legs!! Icyhot to top it off lol!! What always killed it for me was the not sleeping part idk why it's my biggest fear everytime I quit!  I will go to some meeting while my kids r at school and my bf is working!!

Hi  well you sound good ....as for the abences of withdrawal count your blessings  every once in a wile we see someone get a ''get out of jail free card''.....my only concern is your relapse....what are you going to do different this time around??  for most of us aftercare is a critical part of recovery without it you keep riding the merry go round of getting clean using getting clean using...your life does not have to be this way   I am a member of /N/A it is a simple progam that cost nothing and if you work it it will work for you  just because you stop the pills does not = recovery  that take work google N/A meetings in your aera.......Gnarly

You may just be lucky and not having WD. I know that this time for me was a lot easier, but I remember how horrible the first time was and do not want that again!!!!
