Made it 24 hours

I made it through the first day and it was pretty ok I was able to sleep through a lot of it other than being pretty anxious I feel ok. I hate my life and what I have done to myself and my family. I feel as though I am a disappointment to everyone that I know and that hurts me. I'm so sad right now all I wanna do is cry

You can get back to a better life but you have to give yourself just a couple of weeks off of these pills so you can start to feel better.You can do it and anything you feel right now is just a result of pills and withdrawal from pills.
If you don't give this a chance things will never get better.  You can do it!

I know I can do it I just feel as my life is spinning out of control and it's never going to get any better! I want to be better I want to be the person I was a year ago before this all began. I just don't see that ever happening again

Yep, it wasn't about how you felt, it was how you weren't feeling.  You weren't feeling that warm euphoric feeling.   Get rid of the pills, and all avenues of getting them.  Delete phone numbers, text your hook ups tell them not to contact you, and not to answer your calls, etc.  If you want to do this right, you have to get the pills out of your house, and out of reach either by phone or physically.  You can do it.

I just took 2 norcos and I'm not even sure why. I was really doing pretty good and the withdrawals were not as bad as I expected them to be. I just had to pick up that dang phone. Mabye I'll give it to someone to hold on to for a few days. Isk now I feel like an idiot

I had similar feelings about my family, especially my kids. When I was using all I thought about was the pills - from the moment I woke up til I went to bed. I didn't do things with or for my kids - I didn't want anything to come between me and my high. I don't think about those years, it doesnt do me any good. I'm clean now and making up for lost time. Use your family as motivation.

I'm not having issues with my legs but my arms are extremely restless I can't seem to keep them still and it's driving me nuts. I'm going to take some NyQuil and how that helps a little bit

I am already taking an anti depressant that I started the first time I got clean. It's just a miserable feeling right now. I hope I sleep some tonight

sometimes crying is the best. let it out. remember those pills numb u up. and for awhile you'll be over emotional. we've all been there. i promise it will pass. do you have a history of depression? if so talk to a doctor..antidepressants made the difference for me. and no your not a failure. failures don't want to change. and you do. so you should feel good about that.
