Inspiration if youre withdrawing

[Opiategurl]

Today I went to get my tire fixed and had a nice conversation with someone in the waiting room. Its been so long since Ive felt happy and sociable in public. Im on 23 days clean and I've already noticed a huge difference in my relationships with my mom, friends, boyfriend and strangers. Thats all I need to keep me clean. I didnt realize how much my addiction changed my personality and I had no idea how soon my old self would return...I was on and off for two years so I know its different for everyone but I just want to say that its so worth it and dont lose hope. Your happiness is right around the corner. Getting sober is the best thing I've done for myself I cant believe now how scared I was to take that first step. I just hope someone reads this and finds the courage to get clean.

Thanks for your help. I guess your problem is worse than mine, and you made it, so can I. Thanks for the encouragement. My biggest fear now is that I have legitimate pain problems, and my doctor is super nice and will write me anything at anytime. I'm a single 30yr old guy, who has nobody to keep me accountable. My family lives in another state. So it's kinda scary. But, I have to stay strong as I don't want to do this again!

It gets better believe me! First couple nights are tough for sure but the moment comes whenbi feel better andnu know it was worth it. I Am in day 5 today and u was sniffing 250mg of oxynorms per day at the End of my one year habit. Began with 10mg. Worst addiction ever but if you want your life back then ubhave to do it!!! Worst mistake is  to had any pulls nearby. Have no way to access any pills and tell yourself you can't get any anytime in the next day. Helped me so much!!! I am only on day 5 right now. Not sleeping was the worst! I finally did last night! U will too!!!!

Good for you! I just starting detoxing yesterday. I feel awful. I don't know if I can make it. I know I will be up ALL night again. I don't know if I can make it another night w/o sleep. I have to fake a smile and try to be a Dad at the same time. I have been taking anywhere from 5mg to 30mg a day of percocet for the last 6 months. I don't know how long or severe my withdrawl will get, but I know I gotta do it. I have no choice. I feel awful. I hope people are up all night on here so I can talk!
