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
Hi I have been reading your post for a couple of days and just wanted you to know you are not a looser, I was clean for 28 days then had a set back with my back and took 5 or 6 vicoden in 6 days. one a day to get me through to the Drs. I felt like you and was also afraid when I stopped again. NO PROBLEM I just stopped again and I am on day 47 again, If you count all my days it is day 90 for me. I had a set back but I am doing fine, I feel great can't believe how I am not up and down with my emotions. It is worth it !! You can do it. You are not alone in any of this, I get so much strength from reading posts, it makes you feel like you are not alone. So good luck and prayers to you. Bethany
and it is ok to have a pity party detoxing is no fun at all!!!!
Glad I could help lol I personally found I smoked alot more during detoxing ( no not cigars but cigs) not sure what to tell you. i know my anxiety level was so high and adding caffiene to my body definatly made it worse.I would get started on the thomas stuff no harm in that at all.Off to work H
Got away early. Sorry for the pity party earlier. I'm home,got thru the day without using again. Woke up midnight, crying, aching,tooka hydro. Woke up again @ 3 dressed for work and took another.....
TOOK MY WHOLE BOTTLE WITH ME TO WORK!(havent taken any more)
I was actually mad at my wife for not waking up and stopping me! Told her it was her fault.
How Pathetic is that? Told her I tried to wake her up for help,kinda did,but not terribly hard.
WILL BE APOLIGIZING IN A FEW MINUTES WHEN SHE GETS HOME FROM SCHOOL!
I am encouraged that I went 48 hours without but now realize with all the bravado, I have to be off work to do this. Work I cant explain, but have to be on my toes all the time,cant do it detoxing.
I have to work tomorrow and thursday. On friday I solo so I could go detoxing and Saturday is for only 2 hours. I am sticking with my plan of dumping them all thurs nite, getting thru fri/sat and then I'll be off for 11 days....with some help.
I cant explain it but knowing i dont have to go to work the next day makes me not freak out so much about not sleeping.I dont care cause I know I can sleep anytime. I believe this will make the difference in getting clean.
When I ducked into the bathroom at work i was struggling. everything on edge,meetings were serious. Better now I'm home. When i saw everyone looking for me.....well, just thanks ok?
Im done with the pity party, and like a friend told me, i took off the dress,kicked off the heals,wiped off the lipstick,and am maning up..lol...*did i get that all right* bless you:)
So, I will try without still, but know i have to take one or two the next few days, but i also know thats better than the 6-8 i was doing up until Saturday,with a roxy thrown in for an extra boost...DOH! self medicate right? So im trying to stay positive, and will try and stop with the drama queen act.
Let me ask a few questions:
I smoke 2-3 cigars a day
I drink 2-3 french vanilla cappacinos a day
They seem to be a trigger for the hydros. When I get up early(especially weekends) and early for me is 1-2 am, I like to take my pills,smoke and drink coffee while i blog(sports usually)
Should i try and stop them too or asking tooo much at one time?
Is coffee bad while detoxing?
should i still be taking the "recipe" even though i havent quit?
been taking tylenol,b, drinking alot of water too
Anxiously waiting for thursday morning
Have I thanked you guys in the past 30 seconds? This whole site and all of you is the most amazing thiing on the internet. I like to believe this is what it was invented for:)
