What do I do?
I had a plan to stop using this Thurs. I planned the time off with my wife, organized all the supplies, scheduled the off time with work. Felt very confident about being ready. Then yesterday, I woke up at midnight and decided I wanted to see how long I could go without one. Usually after 8 hours the aches etc... made me go and take one. I stayed busy, walked the beagles for 1 1/2 hrs last night before bed. About 5-6 miles. Took a tylenol pm and an old valium I had before I went to bed at 10pm.
I woke up this morning at six, and I made it without one! I am now approx. 28 hrs without.
I feel weird, my stomach is a little messed up.
Now I dont know what to do. The plan was Thurs. I could be off for 10 days and wife would be home because shes a teacher and school is out. The reason I didnt start this week was I had important meetings this week and wife had a class she COULD NOT MISS. Now that I'm 28 hrs in I want to keep going. Wife is a little upset, she has to go to her classes this week and I have to work till thurs. She said I made her feel guilty cause we had a plan, but now I kinda started and she feels guilty about having to leave me. I told her I would be ok and to please go to her classes. I dont know if I could make it thru my work on tues weds thurs anyway. Lotta rambling as usual, anybody got any ideas? Should I stick to the original plan or keep going now?

sorry missed the part about your work. That could be a double edged sword. On one hand it will distract you from your W/D. On the other hand you dont want to be running to the bathroom every 5 minutes in the meeting. You said your stomach was queezy. mine was too but never got any worse than that. Have you had any worse issues?? Laying around at home can make W/D worse unless of course you have no choice because you are so sick. I hope this helps
Sending you positive energy and peace for your day. Hour by hour. Remember why this is so important to you. No more chasing scripts, conning Dr. , spending hard earned money, missing important events etc. Stay strong! Routing for you!

Fins you need to relax. Everything your feeling is normal. It's going to be scary but you can do it. One day a time... Tell yourself to just get to tommorrow and dont think about any further now. YOU MUST GET RID OF PILLS....I'm rooting for you. Deep breaths. NOW is the time to be strong and responsible FOR YOU!!!
Taking deep breaths, one foot in front of the other.....
tell me it wont always be this bad. Is this part of my reaction of letting the roxys go last night? Or just cause its thursday? I have been looking forward to this afternoon for a week now, and now I wish it never came....
I can barely function.... hardly drive...
My responsibilities are overwhelming me.
left the house MAD... didnt bring any of my "recipe"....
WHAT A DOLT!
How can someone so strong,responsible for.....important stuff...be so weak?
Well its showtime... will be back soon as i can......
HELP ME!

Don't worry that's your brain in panic mode. I took everything I could on my last day. Just take a deep breath and DUMP them when you get home. You made it 48 hrs before just start with that.... YOU CAN DO IT. Go for it!!
