[i_need_to_be_me_again]

a little about me i got in to oxy 3 or 4 years ago not having a clue what i was getting in to ....now im at about 3 or 4 80s a day and am quiting cold turkey. Im sick of it owening me ....im sick of not having any money and working so hard....wondering if there is any way to make things easyer ...last time i was able to beat this garbage it only lasted 7 weeks and this time i want it to be for life hoping for some advice to make it a little more conforatable

My prayers and support also!
Think of the WDs as you're now in your recovery, you're no longer participating in the addiction.
keep posting!

You have my prayers and support.  Its so hard but worth it.  I love that I dont spend any money on pills, or that I dont have the highs and lows throughout the day.  I am still recovering and finding myself but I am moving forward.  You can do it, I know you can!!

at 7 weeks i was symptom free and thought i could go back for one day and the day lasted 2 years so with the help of god i will not make that mistake again ...the WD's are kicking in now and my spirit isnt the same ....Please pray for me i need all the help i can get coz if i get some sleep tomorrow is going to be hell

You might be okay enough tomorrow for a meeting, especially if you let NA folks know you're going through the WDs.  I made it to a meeting day 1-2, and then I had to tough it out for day 3-4 at home with all the "fun stuff". I made it to a meeting on day 5 and decided to take a surrender chip.  I'm day 19 now and still feel tired out from no sleep. For me, It's sort of like recovering from surgery or something like that! I'm whipped! I never want to go through this again!

So you've done this once before? It's lasted 7 weeks? What symptoms lasted 7 weeks??

AFTERCARE: It's NA meetings and going on a site like this that gave me the strength and support to REALLY DO THIS. When a person is truly under the lash of addiction, they may find themselves willing to do ANYTHING... I soon found AA/NA the only thing that really works for me. I tried everything else first, just couldn't fix my own drinker and drugger and I couldn't let my own thinking fix my own thinking. I made a commitment and I asked for as much help as I could find.

NA is free, pretty much. How much is practicing addiction?
