Rough night

I am really craving oxycontin tonight, . I keep getting all these texts about if I want to buy some. I am so emotionally/physically drained from not sleeeping and it scares me how one day you can be feeling so great and the next you can be a moment away from a relapse. I just want to stop so bad but I think this always happens to me around this day every time I try to stop because the no sleep thing really starts to mess me up, it's been 8 days now, almost 9 and I haven't slept in a few days and my heart feels like its just non stop racing like i'm so on edge. My eyes are so tired I am like seeing black dots, I am just hoping I can get some sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow feeling better. If anyone has any good advice/motivation it would really helpp

You should let these ppl texting you to buy some that you are off them now. If they continue to bug they really aren,t friends and you may consider changing your number and letting only supporting non using friends have it.

You are doing amazing and I hope you hang in there. These things are the devil man and it takes every ounce of your strength to beat it but you will!

That's great to hear! i received a message from here a couple days ago and was just wondering how she's doing. I was kinda worried because she was on here quite a bit and then hadn't seen her around for a few days. She's doing great especially with all the temptations at college!

I saw she posted on someone else's blog on Oct 26.  She seemed to be doing o.k.  Maybe just busy with school.

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Cassie and how she is doing? She hasn't been on for awhile. I know she said she was very busy with school but just hope she is still fighting the cravings and going strong. She was putting up a great fight and hope she's still going strong.

How are you holding up Cassie? Hope you are feeling better! You should start a new post and tell everyone about your fight. What you have done and are doing is so inspiring and will help so many people that are wanting to start the process that you have went through. You have proved that it is possible! You are a very strong person and you now know you can accomplish anything you put your mind too as can anyone else! Keep up the great fight! Be very proud of yourself!

Hope you can get some more sleep tonight. Lack of sleep to anyone including people that aren't going through withdrawals can really take its toll on the body. We have to deal with other symptoms on top of no sleep so that can really drive us crazy and wear us down even more! Just keep stay on course and with each passing day the sleep will come. I'm proud of you Cassie and you should be too! Keep on fighting!

I am glad you are feeling better. Cassie go to your cell phone provider and tell them you have a stocker and you want your number changed they will do it and if you get a new phone they will switch over all the contact info for you!!!  Good Luck baby girl hang in there!!!

Nooo I didn't mean I was feeling like that for nine days, don't worry it does get better each day. There were just some lingering things like lack of appetite and sleep, and environment conditions, but besides that I was/am feeling MUCH better. I am very happy I chose to stop and not going back now, already I am feeling 10x better today because I slept and ate some healthy food. Don't get down, with each day you stay off it (after say like day 4ish) you will start to feel better.
The stuff you are describing is normal, it is the wd, your heads trying to make you think you need the drugs, and you don't!! If you go to the health pages to the Thomas Recipe there are a bunch of things that can help make it a bit easier on you.

9 days??? I am 22 hours into this and your saying NINE DAYS? OOOOH My God. I don't know about feeling like THIS for 9 days or more ... my life is in close to utter chaos becuase of Roxy's ... that I know for fact ... but this God awful withdrawal is just about too much to bear. I can't stand feeling like this and my thought patterns are BIZARRE. I feel like someone is tugging on my spinal cord so that my brain is being yanked backwards!!!!! And my stomach ... way to descriptive unpleasantry's.

Cassie, I am sooo proud of you.  I agree with someone on here who said that your roommate should NOT tell you when they are going to have drugs.  If he/she really cares about you, they will listen.  You know you don't want to go through these last days all over again and you have been so strong you are someone I can seriously look up to because I'm tapering down off of methadone.  But I will hit bottom and I can remember you, and others, and the fight you put up.  You are seriously in my prayers and please send me a note or message if you want to talk.  Once again, way to go girl.  Sometimes we don't know what we have in us until God opens our eyes and shows us the strength we have had all along that is given to us through him.  Relax honey, you're almost there.

thanks everyone for the responses. i finally fell asleep last night and i feel a little  better this morning. i know you are all right, and i can look into getting a new number, i have like almost 300 contacts tho so it would be kind of hard, i cant turn it off because i dont have a housephone and i do need the phone. I don't want to turn back now, but im glad i slept a bit, it makes everything better, thanks everyone for the advice

So sorry things are getting tough for you. It seems like we all hit that one really tough day or night. It just happens at different times for everyone. Remember that tomorrow is another day and wont be as bad. It always seems like when we have a real bad day, the next one eases up a bit. I know the last 9 days have been miserable but you are so close to hit the turning point. You don't want to let these past 9 days go to waste because you if you relapse you'll eventually have to go through the days again. Just keep up the good fight and know it will get better. I'm proud of you Cassie and you should be as well. Hang in there hun. You'll get through this and you are so close!

you have made it 8 days honey that is wonderful and being in other room would be so hard on me also prob kill me thinking about it also. tell your rommate to not let you know when he/she is going to get to hard on you. Stay strong and look up!!! God will get you through and if your not strong enough to walk he will carry. I agree w/others get rid numbers they are bad, Best luck

Hey Cass,

I agree with above about the great advice I've seen from you.  I am also on day 9 at the moment and have slept only several hours in the past 4 days.

Do not lie in bed and toss and turn---very frustrating.  try and get comfy and watch a movie or keep reading here.  If you start feeling peaceful,close your eyes for a bit and take some deep breaths.  This too shall pass.

I know exactly where you're at Cassie and feeling it too.
Keep up the good fight Cassie, you've come SO far!!!!
