My STORY/NIGHTMARE

[Hardlife8989]

I'm 23 years old been taking Roxys for about a year! I started from one toothache and only took a quarter of one then I was up to about six or seven a day depending On how many I had! It's so sad I know I went 22 years not doing any drugs at all not even smoking a cigarette and recently I just had a beautiful baby girl so as I'm typing this exactly seven days ago I just quit! This is my seventh day clean and I'm still having major W/D I have about 7 hours of sleep in the seven days and I shake all night l shake all night long and get hold and cold sweats, sneeze, diarrhea and all but this is the first day I started feeling a lil but better besides no sleep! I'm praying for everyone on here and I hope y'all all find the strength to not go back to the horrible pills that brings you down and makes you feel like your on top! Your not its actually on your way to rock bottom I went there and I'm on my way up! Find something to push you to quit that's what I did and I'm doing it for my baby girl! Ps nothing works for the withdrawals to help you get through it! I have tried everything even the Thomas diet! Only time can heal this think before you take another one cause you would feel so much better with out I do! *HARDLIFE89

I am so proud of you!! I know you don't know me and vice versa but we all know the intensity of what an addiction to pills and other drugs is. You sound very motivated and I congratulate u on your awesome choice:) life will be so much better without being a slave to something looking so small but in reality is so huge. You can do it:)

Congratulations on making this commitment and hanging in there.   You should start to feel better soon.   Just stay the course..  It takes awhile for sleep patterns to get right again, but you should start feeling a little better every day.   Be sure and eat, at least light meals, or drink ensure.   Don't let yourself get so depleted that you get too weak.   Congratulations on your little daughter, and remember, this is an awesome gift for her, but also for yourself.

What an inspirational post. You are a very determined girl to quit c/t and get those pills out of your life. Your baby girl is very lucky to have such a wise mom! You are so right, time is not your friend while detoxing, but is surely your friend in recovery. Each day you'll get stronger and healthier. The sleep will come. Try the yogi calming tea or sleepy time before bed. Hot tubs saved my jittery butt post detox. Take your new bundle for a brisk walk in the stroller to get some exercise. Most of all just wanted to say congrats on your week clean!
