When will it be over???

I have been taking various pain killers recreationally for a cpl yrs and am on day 7 of my detox. My body doesn't ache anymore and the hot flashes are finally gone....but the one lingering thig is my stomach. How long do I have to deal with the upset stomach? I can barely eat ANYTHING because all of it gives me the worst tummy ache. I'm ready for it to be over with. It's amazing to be fully sober now I just want my body back.

hey to all off you, first congrats on your clean time it is a wonderful thing, I'm on day 51 and I will tell you all it gets better it really does the stomach issues can last a lil while it takes time for our bodies to heal and regain bein normal hang in there you will notice everyday a lil more comes back. I had my good days where I was on top of the world and then I would have my bad days where I thought ggggrrr this is taking toooo long. I'm on day whatever it was at the time I posted alot about when is my turning day gonna come my milestone. I was having milestones everyday it was just so hard to see it then. each day gets better a life not chained to the bottle of pills is amazing and wonderful hang in there you can do this. its not an easy road but it is a great destination when you get there. hang tight you can all do this. love and light the light at the end of the tunnel does show up and its super bright.

Hey! I have made it thru an entire week now with no pills! I'm feeling better and better every day so hold tight cuz u can do it! The hardest part is your mind that's what I fight with. The night sweats and stuff slowly gets less and less. I know I'm not gonna feel fully like myself for at least another week but the thought of being 100% sober for the holidays is great :) Go for a walk every day, that literally saved me from the crazy anxiety I get. It's hard to get the motivation but once ur out it's so much better!

I hear you! It's been a long journey, these 4 days seem like 4weeks. I've tried to get myself moving, and trying to eat, nothing's staying down..but I'm hopeful:-)

I still can't sleep very well but it's definately getting better. I started goin for an hour long walk and it REALLY helps with the anxiety. It's not easy to get the motivation but I just keep telling myself I have to do it. By day 5 or 6 the nauseous feelin goes away. It's actually comforting to know I'm not the only one going thru this. WE CAN DO IT!!!
