[jlb191]

Hey all,

I have posted on here before and again I am attempting to go at it ct today.  I have been addicted to oxy for about 8 months now and tried to stop before but this time is it.  So far I am feeling ok.  Took all my vitamins and trying my hardest to stay positive.  I will keep everyone posted on my status as my day goes along.  Please keep my in your thoughts and prayers.  This forum is such a great support and I really need it.  Thank you all out there.  I know everyone here has been through this part of their addiction before.  I am really scared of what may happen to me over the next few days!!!!!

Day three and having trouble.  Stated in another forum that today was doing better physically but mentally i am a mess.  crying on and off all day.  the craving is out of control right now.  My mind is telling me that if i just had one i could get my house clean to help me through the next couple of days.  My house is extremely a mess.  when i was on oxy, my house was spotless everyday and the mess in my house is really bothering me but i have no energy to clean it.  i am frustrated and p****!  then i get depressed.  i really can't think that well right now.  i almost gave in, but i guess the good news would be that my provider of drugs is out.  my question is, would i have been strong enough is they did have them to not do it.  this is so hard!  I know if i can make it past a few more days i will feel much better.  Do you think??  can you buy b12 over the counter.  i know everyone says to get up and get moving.  my mind wants me to but i just keep sitting.  i was feeling better earlier physically, but now i just don't care.  who knows..just venting.  thought it might help.  thx to all of you out there on this forum.  alll the stories i read remind me so much of myself.  it is somewhat comforting to know i am not alone, but hate to know that others are going through something so difficult at the same time.  ttul...thanks for listening.

Im on the same boat with you, except day 2. Dont be scared, you need to be confident in yourself, because there are so many people here that have confidence in you. Give yourself positive reinforcement.... even a day sober is a great thing and should be proud of yourself<3 Good luck

Try not to be scared.  You are doing a good thing by getting off these pills.  WD's are not fun but you need to rid your body of all the toxins.  Stay positive in your thinking, get up and move around as much as you can and drink plenty of fluids.....sara

I would not suggest going cold turkey while caring for kids. u should call your doc, explain and ask for a tapering dose so u can deal with your parental duties.

Hello,
I too am going cold turkey today from vicodin and am extremely worried about the w/d's--I'm a single mom of two (one with brittle diabetes) w/ no support at all.  I ran out of my prescription early so want to see if I can do it, have fibromyalga and not sure if i'll be able to function w/o pain meds but also don't want to be dependent--do you have support?  this  forum is really great, hang in there and keep me posted!!
