How long?

[Lortab101]

Today is just day 2 of no pills after 2 years of 3-4 tabs of 10/500 Lortab.  Other than waking up at 4am, and some RLS last night, not really experiencing any physical affects as of yet. Right now I just cannot imagine doing the things I enjoy so much not being on the drug.  I don't know if I can see a movie w/o popping one, watching a ballgame, laying out by the pool, going to the mall with my girlfriend.  It seems like everything I used to really love doing will be so boring from here on out.  How long before I can enjoy things again?  
Thank you all for being here for me, you are my second family.

Well, I got through my ballgame last nite without taking any pills.  First time in a couple years.  I was anxious and had a hard time sitting still, but was fine. Now I know I can see a concert while not taking, go to a movie, and all the other things I remember doing on the pills. I think the key for me is to make sure I have a few pills left, and tell myself I'm not taking them.  It's easier for me than to be panicked because I don't have any left.  I feel like I am more in control this way.  I have too much going for me to waste my life on these pills.   I have made up my mind that I am not going back.  We all have different timeframes, we go at different paces.  For me the time was right now.   I have too much going for me to spend my day thinking about pills.  I used to wake up every morning feeling guilty about how many pills I took the day before. Then I would take inventory of how many I had left.  Then start planning my day around the pills, ignoring all the people around me who care about me.    Today I woke up feeling good about myself and looking forward to all the things I can do today. Thank you all for being there for me when I needed you the most.  You will always be in my thoughts.

Today I will watch a football game at 5pm.  It will be the first time not on the pills in 2 years.  I used to really love watching the games while on the Lortab.   I know it sounds silly, but I guess we all have our things.  I wonder if I can get through it okay, if it will still be fun.  Even though I have some left, I am NOT tempted right now.  I am in too deep to turn back now.  I already have to live with myself for using, I don't know how I could live with myself for failing to quit.  Please think about me today, and let me tell you how it goes tonite.

I am on day six of withdrawal from Vicodin and I felt like you around day 2 and 3. I think it is the drugs trying to fool you into takeing them again. Do not give in! Day 4 me and my hubby were intimidate and it was amazing! The drugs had dulled my senses but now they are all awake and thriving. I stood outside on day 5 and stared at some geese and was amazed at the color and beauty of the world. Every day I am finding yet another thing that the drugs robbed from me.

BTW making it to day 2 is a great achievement! Take it one step at a time. I wasnt taking anymore than you and am feeling wonderful.
