It's been a while
So I waited until I was actually a couple days into wd to post. It's been about 56 hours so far, from a 15-20 10mg norco a day habit. I've been taking my vitamins, cal/mag. Now I know this sounds weird, but I feel really good so far! I don't know how, but I actually slept through the night last night! Just hoping tonight goes as well!!!
I do have the tummy problems which immodium is taking care of. I also have the lethargy problem, but I'm also kinda wired! That might be because I cut off all ties with the people I get them from! It's a big step for me and I'm proud that I finally did it!!! There's no possible way for me to get them anymore! Next step is looking into aftercare!

Haha! Thanks Connie! There's no way I'm taking this for granted! Ive put myself through withdraws more than I can count and the insomia has always driven me crazy! I've never wanted anything more in my life than stop the rollercoaster of pills!! I've been given the best possible shot this time and I'm gonna take it! Haha!
Margarita, I really do hope they go smoothly for you! Everyones different, but it seems like you were on a high dose. Use the Thomas recipe and eat healthy when you can! I know you're not gonna feel like it but exercise if you can! I started taking walks from day 1, a couple short ones at a time. I feel like it helped so much! Stay on top of the tummy problems with immodium! I wish you the best of luck! Start your own post, these people are amazing and this site has been my rock!
Starting day 7 in a few hours!!!

Hey spentshells...thanks for switching to days instead of hours! I was having a rough time of it converting the hrs into days! LOL
Math never was an easy "in the head" deal for me; English, grammar, etc
comes easy and that's probably why I love it!
Anyhooo......you are really doing great! Sleeping is HUGE cause that's when our brains and body systems RESTORE themselves.
Hope you won't let the "easier" part of this affect your dedication to STAY clean. Insomnia is common.......sleeping much less so.
Keep on keeping on.....and will pray it is your last TIME to w/draw!

I wish my withdrawals go smoothly,Im scared. I am taking percocet 10 and been sinceb the 28th of september my tolerance was high cause i was on norco 10`s and taking 10-15 a day but for only 3-4 days cause Id run out and thats what happened this time,i ran out well almost i have 2 days left of almost regular dose and i was taking 10-13 percocets day for 2 weeks until i gave to a friend to give to me almost the right dose 6-8 a day and thats not enough either,but Im gonna be in withdrawals soon and wondering since i took for such a short time if my withdrawals will be as bad,please answer i need help I am sooooo scared of whats to come
Just the main stuff from the Thomas list. In the past I tried using Valium but that always made me even more sluggish!!! I've found imodium before bedtime seems to help me a lot
Isn't it nice when you can count days instead of hours, woohoo! Congratulations! I am so happy and encouraged by your sleep! Are you taking anything besides the cal/mag?
wow, one of the blessed ones!!! Please don't take it for granted, next tim eyou may not be so lucky!! DOn't turn back!!

120 hours down! Think it's time to start counting days and not hours! On with day 6!!! Still feeling good and somehow im sleeping every night! That always was the worst for me, but I some how got off easy this time!
83 hours down and still going strong! I'm so excited right now! I'm still feeling pretty good, minor aches and pains, but the tummy issues seem to have resolved! I can't wait to hopefully wake up to 96 hours!
Right on you sound really good and encouraging way to take control of your life again you sound like an amazing person keep us posted of your progress it truly helps to see people progressing and doing good.
So it's been 72 hours now and I'm still doing well. Was able to sleep again last night! I feel like I've gotten off real easy this time around and I'm not gonna waste that!
It's not telling just anyone. You tell people who can help you stay clean. I told my wife everything. That was embarrassing, humbling, very emotional. Now when a situation arises that might lead to potential relapse, I get her involved. Since she knows I can't lie, sneak around, use.
This step causes the most problems for people because, although they may want to get clean, they don't want to be humiliated. And most addicts know that without their secret the possibility of meds in the future is slim, and that is a frightening thought. I failed for 15 years. 9 months ago I told my secret. I'm still clean. The longest I've ever been off pills.

People I knew. Those people now know not to give them to me, but Obviously I deleted their numbers too! I do a a few close people that know what I'm going thru, so there's that. At this point I'm not sure I wanna tell anyone else tho. Maybe after I've got more time under my belt. Thank you so much for your support! I just got back from a 2 mile walk and I'm feeling pretty good!!!
I was using for the last couple years, first for pain then just for kicks. I never really got em from a doctor, mainly from
Cutting your ties - cutting your sources, AND already thinking about after care? You are two steps ahead of the game. Congrats.
How long were you using (weeks, months, years)? That will also have a bearing on the severity of your detox.
Be sure that there isn't a script or refill or rogue source out there. This is the time where your head starts talking - where the mental struggle heats up.
Tell your doc, close friend or family member. Telling your secret means you can't relapse behind it, plus these important people will be a part of your on going support system later on.
Great job so far. Keep posting - we're here for you.
