It has been 14 days! I am very proud but today has been awful. Very low energy and VERY crabby/angry at everything. Just looking for some encouragement. This is extremely hard to do with an 18 month old, 2 month old, two dogs, and the MILLIONS of things I have piling up everyday around the house. Craving a tramadol so bad right now. I won't give in but you guys were not lying when you say this drug does NOT want to let go. Feeling very frustrated/mad/sad, and overwhelmed right now:(

Thanks guys,

All day yesterday I had that horrible rage feeling. I feel so bad for my kids and dogs because everything they seemed to do annoyed me. I am alittle better this morning. Did not get any sleep last night. The cravings seem to be less, thank god! 15 days today, hopefully that anger goes away soon!!

I know it's rough, but hang in there. You are in the roller coaster of ups and downs. With some time there will be more ups than downs. 14 days is an amazing accomplishment. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. You have a lot on your plate. Remember to take some time for just you. Relax, and pamper yourself a bit. Hope you feel better soon! Take care!

Hang in there, I'm right about where you are with 15 days.  My cravings were insane this afternoon, but I got on here and felt better and they passed.  
I know how hard it is with kids and having so much responsibility.  I'm a single parent and the pills became my escape from all the stress, but our kids deserve better.  I realized I have to stop putting my addiction in front of my daughter.
Don't worry about what's piling up, do the best you can and remember it will get better.  I have let some things go around the house and it's ok.  We don't have to be perfect.  Stay strong for yourself and your family.
