Day 1 is finally here

Well it's day 1 and I'm both nervous and excited. It's still early so I'm not feeling much of anything yet. Just a bit anxious. I'm going to try and take it easy today and when I start feeling crappy I'm going to hit the tub as much as I need to. I'll check back in later and thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. I really need it now!!

You are lifted up in prayer by many here daily.  Thank Him when it gets bad. He will see you through.  Think of footsteps. You know he will do what you can't . Surrender to Him. When I did wds sometimes all I could do was pray help me Jesus. when I was in the tub, sometimes with my sweater on!  We love you Moon  you are doing this.  Free of all opiates.

hey girlee well you finely took the plunge now its time to swim for your life
the withdrawals will come and they will be uncomfortable but remember they are very doable ..use your symptoms to strengthen your resolve to quit...you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile...its only a few days compared to the rest of your life
I broke a 16 1/2yr habit 97 days ago if I can do it anyone can it just takes
some faith in God and some perseverance...prayer helps a lot dont under estimate
the power of God wile detoxing...he will never give you more then you can bear
pull close to God and get your strength from him...ill be praying for you good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

Thanks so much for all the support!!
The withdrawals have arrived. I feel really hot and kind of anxious and irritable but nothing too bad yet. When it gets worse I'll hit the tub and take a long bath. I am so grateful for the support here and will be posting a lot. I'm ready to get my life back!

You are going to be challenged but you are strong and we will support you.  I cant believe I am on my day 2 of NO opiates, first time in 10 years. If I can do it then anyone can.  Dont mean to imply its easy but it can be done.

When I was tapering I got to a place where I could sleep, no constipation, feeling high energy, and thought "hmmm I dont need to quit"  Then I caught myself and shut that voice up.  You will hear those messages too so catch them.  

Keep busy, take gzillion baths, walk around, take time by the half hour, post, talk, cry, ...and most important, Heal!!
