To all the newbies

[Lsufan3103]

I'm now on day 20 and i have been coming here for the help, advise, and support that i've needed. So i owe most of my progress to these people, there complete strangers, who have extended their hands out. God bless you all. So to all you newbies, hang in there and don't hesitate to ask questions. I've learned quite a bit so i too would try to help. All you have to do is be determined, ask questions, and just hang in there because help will be there shortly.
God bless and good luck.

I need to get off the contin and dilaudid that I'm chained and held hostage to. A little background first, so hopefully I can get a more directed response. My monthly dose is 60 peaches (60mg) and 90 d's (4's). Well I picked up the  needle again about 1 1/2 years ago, so you know how I administer and that I always run short, usually about 10 days. I've got a buddy that helps me out with his grey's (100mg). But this has got to stop. My next refill isn't till the 15th or so.
I can't go anywere, or do anything, because the contin is just too much trouble. Not like coc where you load up a half dozen rigs or so and off you go.
2 days is the longest i've been witout the down and I dont know if I have another detox in me. I ran out of down on last Wed and I used grey till saturday, and sunday I went out and got 2 8-b"s, but that doesn't totally take the skin snakes away.
Anyway I'm a functioning junkie, I think, but down is such a physical addiction. If somebody has some useful.....I don't know remedies or something please post a response            functionaljunkie

20 days is an awesome period for a lot of folks.  You just start to feel your old self. GREAT job and stay strong.  And I'll second you comments to the newbies.  I'm around day 80 now and would not be here without this place.  I don't post nearly as much as between days 5 and day 45 or so but I still check in for much needed inspiration.  It's always here.!!

Sure does but there are ways to make it easier on you. I had very little w/d's thanks to a few of the people on here. Now its just the mental thing.

I'm a newbie, but EXPERT in the knowledge that withdrawal sucks the big one.
