day 2 no oxycontin

[Cassie415]

After a 2 week relapse i have stopped again. Today is the second day without it and i am`pretty sick and feel horrible. I am in mexico for a vacation which is helping me not to get it because there is no way i can get it here. but i am really sick and have no energy to even move. my dad and his gf want to go out every night and drink and all that mexico type stuff and i am just dying. I was snorting about 200mg of oxycontin before i stopped so i no this detox wont be easy but I will have 5 days clean by the time i get home so i am hoping thats enough to just stay away and not get any more. I am very weak and sick right now and I just keep thinking about how nice a line of oxycontin would make me feel. anywys i am going to try really hard to stay sober this time. just wanted to post an update, thanks everyone for all the help.

Thank you. I am new here, just started today. But I already care about a few people on here a lot. I think that through each others experiences we can help see our own lives and heed advice that is given. I don't believe in attacking people, calling them names, telling others what to do, or pushing them around. All I want to do is share, and have others share with me because that is really the best way of support.

I agree that you don't have to hit your rock bottom just to be able to come to the realization that it's time to quit and give up the pills. There comes a point in time throughout one's life where they just know it's time to get away from the horrible lifestyle that comes along with taking pills, smoking them, injecting them and/or snorting them. This is a young girl who so many members here on the forums care about. I only hope that she listens to your tidbit of advice you've given her as well.

I am also day 2 of oxy. I wasn't doing as much as you, only 60mg a day. But it is enough to have horrible body aches, sickness, fatigue, and all around pain (physically and mentally). But one thing I do know, is that we cannot keep binging to keep up our lives. Oxy is the easy way out. I've learned that many many times just from doing it for as long as I did. I was so energetic and happy on it, now that its day 2 cold turkey, I feel like my boring old self again. I want to go back, and have even been offered some (I am not away from it like you are). But I need to be strong for myself, just like you need to be strong for yourself. Us addicts are easily tormented by the rememberances of the good times on the drugs, feeling the need to do them, and just wanting to live the lifestyle. But its not a good or normal lifestyle. You don't have to hit rock bottom to quit. That is not true, and whoever says that is lying. You obviously know you are doing something wrong, and you haven't quite hit rock bottom yet. I am proud of your day 2 and wish you the best of luck

I wanted to check in on you, Cassie. I hope that you're at least enjoying the majority of your vacation right now with family. This is tough, but you need to come to the realization that you're tougher than what you're going through. The amount of advice and support you've received here is overwhelming to me and so many others. You're in my heart right now as I cry over my keyboard trying to find the words to bring you to the realization that this has GOT to stop immediately. I love you with all my heart even though you and I have never met -- Please post again and let us know how you're doing.
