[avisg]

you should not go back threw wd kidney stones suckkkkkkkkkkk,Have you thought about any after care ?
avis    you are doing very well ...... be very proud of yourself

[dominosarah]

I think you should be fine just be careful with the pain meds even when you need them.  Do you have someone that could hold them for you and give them to you if you need them??  Hopefully once the stone passes the pain will go away.  The mental part to this is the hardest.  It takes alot of strength but you can do this.  Feeling really good takes some time.  We abused our bodies for a long time and it takes some time to get it back.  When the cravings are bad get busy doing whatever you need to do.  It is just your mind playing tricks on you.  Staying clean is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family.  You are worth it so please keep fighting.  Im not the Bionic Woman anymore and i never was when i was using either, i just THOUGHT i was.  I have a peaceful content feeling most of the days now.  i know that being clean is the most important thing.  I am no longer a prisoner to a bottle of pills.  I think with a clear head now.  i face my fears and i deal with them.  Each day will get alittle better and the fog will lift.  Give yourself some time to get thru this.  Remember one day at a time.  Keep posting and i will keep checking on you.  You are doing great!!!  Stay strong          sara

I'll tell you what; you keep that mentality that you want the heck out and you'll be ok I think. That's my opinion. I am no expert unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you are. But if you are determined you can make anything happen. It's very uplifting to hear the people on this site who have succeeded... if I didn't happen upon this site yesterday, or last night, (I'm so out of whack with time right now) I don't know what I'd be doing right now, but I wouldn't be ok. I'd like to personally shake hands with whoever created this website. AND I THINK YOU'RE GONNA' BE JUS' FINE, DAYS. ;)

[Spondylosis]

Oh man. I'm sorry days. I really hope you don't have to do the whole withdrawal thing again. I've been wondering the same thing about if I took a tramadol right now. I'm trying to stay focused on this website to not think about freaking pain pills, or the pain either.

[daysofourlives]

I HAVE REALLY BAD KIDNEY STONES ANDTHEY R KILLING ME SO I HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF MY PAIN MEDS..I WOULD SAY SO MORE THEN 4 THE WHOLE DAY CUZ THE DOC SAID THE STONE IS FINALLY COMING OUT THEN I AM CLEAR..YIPPY..BUTM Y QUESTION IS WILL I HAVE TO START THIS WD ALL AOVER AGAIN ..JUST BY TAKING THE PAIN MED FOR ACTUAL PAIN..PLEASE HELP I DONT WANT TTHIS IS START ALL OVER AGAIN

[wannabefree330]

??? everyone is different?  Count your blessings that you're physical w/d wasn't worse, but the anxiety you're having is part of w/d.  that too will pass.  Statistically speaking you should not get any worse, that part should be over with.  I doubt you'll feel any worse tomorrow, or any other day to come.  But work on those cravings....you don't want to slip back into using.

[daysofourlives]

I WROTE A FEW POST HIGHER..THAT IM ON DAY4 AND I FEEL OK..DO U THINM IM OVER THE HILL..SHOULD I WAKE UP TOMORROW FEELING WORSE

[wannabefree330]

you are going to be faced with temptations the rest of your life.  How you deal with them is going to be key.  For some, total life changes happened.  Not going to parties, not hanging with the same friends, getting new phones and new numbers.  Telling all contacts you're not interested anymore, telling your doctors not to give them to you.  You have to do this part, because people will always come knocking.  Talking about it is a big step.  Look into AA/NA meetings.  You can find support there also, and it will give you something to occupy your time.  When I got sober the first time I went on a organizing rampage.  closets, paperwork, garage....it was really sick!!  Find something you're passionate about and go for it.

[dominosarah]

I would think you are over the worst.  I stayed soooooo busy after i felt better.  Ive got the cleanest closets in the world!!!!  I cleaned everything i could see.  I am also a big music addict.  I love music so would listen to music all day long.  Still do as it is very healing for me.  I dont really know when i felt 75% of my energy as it just got better everyday.  I kept telling myself that i am doing this and i will get thru it.  One day at a time.  You can do this so just keep telling yourself that.  I have been doing drugs since the 70's and today i am proud to say i am still clean, still fighting and really liking my life.  You will like yours too!!!!                       sara

[daysofourlives]

oh im sorry..chantix is a quick smoking pill

[daysofourlives]

sorry:) but how long does it take 75% of the energy back..i just wnk thia to end

[daysofourlives]

yea im taking a lot of dif vitamins..and drinking alot..i took some of the thomas recepie and take zanax n valums to help sleep then every day i take a lil less cuz i hate those things....i think sleeping is key...so u really think im over the hump..or id the worset yet to come..i know its a mind thing..

[dominosarah]

I started to feel better on day 5.  I got out and walked and the exercise helped.  Are you taking any vitamins??

The pills give you false sense of security. I thought i was the Bionic woman on them.  If you can sleep.........sleep away.  There was another guy on here who said he sleeps alot while going thru wd.  All this is really worth it.  Life is really so much better.  Just keep fighting this and now go to sleep!!!!!!!  Stay strong.                 sara

[daysofourlives]

also any idea..of things to do..im just tryingto stay positive cuz its already day 4..and all u guys are great cua i have no one to talk to u

[daysofourlives]

u know the funny part of the whole pill thing is..i wanna take a when i go shopping or ill say ill clean or always say ill do something or do something and ofcourse i like the feeling too..and i never do it when im on the ppillsannd when im  off the pilss i do a mil things well i think so.... me n my husband dont fight as much at all..its great..kinda weird huh...well today is day 4 and im hopin my energy will come back atleast a lil better tomorrow..cuz i feel like **** now:)and i think that nakes u relapse..does sleeping a lot make the wd go faster??i just want a idea about how many days about is it till u wake up feeling good

[dominosarah]

Im not familiar with chantax.  What is it??

If you are getting thru the wd's like this dont question it!!!!  The energy will take some time to come back.  We abused our bodies so it takes it sometime to get back to feeling good.  Am glad you told the person you get them from no more pills.  This is hard work but it is so worth it.  This is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family.  That little baby needs you.  Who really knows what normal is??  Each of us is different but for me normal is being clean and dealing with life sober, not numbing it up.  Being a prisoner to these pills is not living.  Setting yourself free from them is!!!!  Keep posting here as we are here for you!!!  You can do this.  Stay strong             sara

[joann1975]

I really don't know on the chantix...I went CT when I quit smoking.... I do applaud you for quitting both things at once... Wouldn't that be wild if you figured out chantix helped w/ narcotic/opiate wds?

I think it's great you seem to be feeling as good as you are!

[daysofourlives]

lol.. i did know what else to put ....that was on..lol..ty for talking with me,,i need it..i have stayed in my house since fri 3 days,,i went to work today but left early and here i am...i just hate this feeling..is just so tired..i dont undererstand y i didnt feel  wd like i have in the past 1000 times..this time i had the house empty and i justrelaxed..and i know when the side effects is goin to the bathroom,,and i went 3 times tops..and thata really weird,,i have immodium ad,,lol,,, im hoping since tomorrow is 5 days it will b  a lot better,,and this is prob a weird ? but i have then taking chantax for about 2-3 weeks...so it dosent seem like the chantax is working the way it should..could it b i need to get all the drugs out of my system for it to work...plus my quit day was thurs until today ..could it b cuz im trying to quick 2 thingd at 1 time,,cuz i took this pill b4 and stopped smoking for a very long time when i was drug free

[joann1975]

Ok... I gotta say this...I love your screenname! Ok...that out of the way... on to business..

I understand w/the c-section... that got me going too... I used pills to help w/my post partum...I had used them in the past with other things as well. I also have a little boy that is an angel and a Tank!

It is really hard to say if they are going to hit you.... the norm is when you CT you have bad flu like symptoms for 5-7 days and that is the physical part... the mental part will last longer for sure. But hey...don't dwell on it... maybe the vitamins are helping you... maybe you are lucky this time. I am so proud you told your pill person not to give you anymore...I wouldn't test her though...since she makes money from it. That was a big move and shows your committement to this!

Also, something to do... go over to the social side... we goof around over there and have silly posts... show our crazy sense of humor..stuff like that. (it's at the top of the page in blue letters Addiction Social Community just in case you haven't seen it)

You will make it! Keep posting!
