Day Three - Do I check-in to a clinic tomorrow??

[nefesh]

Day 3 feeling SO drained tired exhausted blah blah blah this must be so boring for everyone here... I'm usually such an UP person - full of vif and vim joie de vivre spiritual poetry as it were... and now I feel like the Night of the Living Dead...  I'm taking V-C, B complex, acidopholus, hot showers - what else is there??  Should I get some L-Tyrosine?  Does it really help?  And mostly wanting to know if you all think I should stick to my original idea and go to a clinic tomorrow??  It's a cut-rate place, nothing too comfy... 10 days of group meetings, docs around, no way to score anything... Or maybe in another few days the worst will be over and I should just slowly get on with my life??  No matter what I'm going to NA meetings and get me a sponsor - without follow-up help I'm a goner...

Hope you're all doing well today and thanks as ever for your precious comments!!!

Love,  Nefesh

If you think that checking into the clinic would be helpful then do so.  It cant hurt you any.  Aftercare is soooooo important and you sound like you have a plan one way or another.  You will be over the worst of the wd's in the next day or 2 and then you will feel better.  The energy takes awhile to come back.  Try and get up and move around, go for a short walk if you can.  Keep us posted in what you decide to do.  You are doing great and congrats on the 3 days!!!!!          sara

Detoxing from lots of years of various narcotics - this time I've been on about 60 mg oxy's/day plus about 15 darvocets
