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
Just wanted to say way to go on quitting the pills. I think if you were able to stop for 48 hrs without too much hassle and then only take a few pills total in the last couple days I think you'll do ok detoxing. Of course you'll feel crappy but I don't think your going to get hit with the severe, nightmare-type wds that get some people (like me lol). Everyone's different and if you can escape this with just a bit of discomfort then consider yourself VERY lucky. Quit and don't look back!! I think your going to to great. You have a pretty good attitude and even a sense of humor about it and I think that combined with the support from your wife is going to help you make it. Stay strong, post lots and kick this crap!! :)
yea i actually have other things to do..... some not so exciting as typing to you though. why do you think they are suspicious? yes tell you supplier to TAKE YOU OFF THE LIST
oh and yes you have to learn to deal with life including work on its terms without the use of hydros and roxys. it will be alright. the self induced anxiety and causes yourself to stress has got to go. leave it in the hot tub. change the routine, when you wake up at midnight and your head is screaming pill, go for a swim, take a run, walk the dogs in the mmiddle of the night, did you always wake up to take one? or only because you havent been during the day?
if i dealt with my husbands bs you are a piece of cake 1200 miles away.no problem.bring it on. well enjoy your soak, i am making dinner. oh by the way make sure you get eating healthy food.you are doing just fine. you have done wonderfully with that taper plan. tomorrow night is the flush? did your wife get rid of those roxys yet?
