Today is day 3....

Well I made the decision to finally put this behind me.  Today is day 3 of no percs and the last two have been more than awful!  Today I still feel pretty crappy but had the energy to fire up my laptop.  I've been living in the bathtub with Epson salt and taking Tylenol to help with the aches and lots and lots of praying....for strength, mercy, grateful for the opportunity to get this over with before I end up in jail or dead,  Every day my kids ask if I'm better yet and I just smile and say I will be soon :)

Thanks!  I actually have hope today that this won't last forever (cuz you know it feels like it at first!).  Yea..sitting on the couch is hard for me..first because I'm a busy body naturally and second, you are right, it makes me ache and the rls worse.  BUT...I don't have the energy to stay up moving very long.  Time and patience, right???  ;/

That's amazing. Good for you! Keep it up and you'll feel brand new in no time. I am on day 4 with no suboxone. And I feel better than I thought I would. I pray I can make it through another day! Good luck!

You'll get there!! :) my kids were the only things that got me through the bad detox. One is to small to fend for himself the other is a teen girl that just won't. Haha. So I found going outside with my little guy really helped. Cooking and moving around. I actually felt worse just lying on the sofa because my rls never stopped. You can do this!! :))
