Aa
Pills are ruining my life. Help!
I finally flushed them last night and feel so sick today. I can't continue this. I'm becoming someone I don't even know anymore. I lie I steal. It's horrible but feels good to get it off my chest. I feel like I'll never be happy again or enjoy things. Can someone give me words of encouragement? Yes I'll be going to AA when I feel better. I'm sad and lonely
Hi and Welcome!
If you are sleeping now then that is a BIG plus.
Just make sure you drink TONS of water and electrolyte drinks to help flush out the toxins.
Do Not be scared or shameful. However, secrets will keep us sick. You will feel a BIG weight lifted if you reach out for support from your family and friends.
Addiction is a disease and we did not ask for it.
Maybe look this up in a more scientific way and you will understand what happens in the brain. The drugs whack out the Nero-chem and also we have a part of the brain called the mid-brain, (survival) the part that will always remember the pleasure. This is the part that is hard. If only we can put a new tape in..hahaha. Just do not feed it and you should be fine. There is so much you can do to help get through this. Make sure you eat very healthy too. Try to replenish back all the vit/min and electrolytes we have lost during our drug use.
I came off the Methadone with 2 other meds, c/t back in 2012. It was not easy but it was worth it. I had a girlfriend on here that we would talk over the phone and compare notes, as she came off the trams. These 2 meds our very synthetic and do not like to let go to easy. SO the mental on both Methadone and Trams can lingerer a bit. It does take time for the brain chems to balances back. It is harder on ones that are older (like me) and who have used for yrs & yrs. If you only used a short time, and a low dose, you will balance back in no time. Young and Healthy helps too. Just take it day be day or min by min. You will start to feel the clarity of your mind and your body will follow. The BIG thing is working on staying clean. AA/NA and or any Support groups are good. Church is one of my favorites.
I wish you the best and try not to fear the unknown. I know it is hard but lots of us have LOTS of time in. We were where you are at one time.
Keep trucking forward and do not look back.
Keep us updated.
Bless

I feel so sluggish. No appetite. I've been sitting outside in the sun in my chair but sleeping a lot. Is it ok to sleep as much as I can?
Thank you all so much. I'm trying to stay positive. I know it will take time I'm just soooooo embarrassed. I want to just get passed this and move on.biggest mistake of my life!!!!
