Detoxing off Lortab..does Sis know?

[riverwalker]

Hi All,
I posted earlier that have been detoxing xanax- one week and day 4, as of today- off the Lortab.
Told my Sister had to cancel the movies on Friday for I had the flu. She started questioning me today, hmmmm, haven't heard of anybody else with your symptoms and then posing the question to me? Is it true that most times family/ friends know?
I feel so strange today. Very lightheaded, have decided to just be housebound the next day or so to get through this. I can honestly say this has been the scariest and profoundly sick i have ever been.

MY family couldn't tell i was using...and they couldn't tell i was detoxing, but i don't see them often...they all live an hr. away...they knew something was up becuz i was isolating and not calling any of them...i just said i was depressed and isolating...i told one sis...so maybe  you can say you have the flu and you are depressed....

the wd same are the same as the flu...

I never admitted to anyone at the time that I had a problem but my husband. It's funny now when I'm out with friends or family and in a bad mood they say. Hey, go pop a pill and get in a better mood. I say you know those pills had too much control over me don't do that anymore, had to give 'em up. People know they just may not know to what extreme.
Just take your time to heal and get clean. The world and your sister will still be waiting when you are better. I know you are really sick right now but it's only temporary. You're doing great keep up the hard work

Thank you so much for the positives. Instead of beating myself up today, I am going to try and read a book, take a bath- and visualize all the toxins leaving my body! Thanks to you all, this has helped more than you will ever know!
