HELP ANYONE

[Becca911]

Today is day 2 c/t and its worse than yesterday. WHY? It seems more of a mental battle than anything else. I tapered down to 10mg of lortabs a day for several days. But this mental **** is about to take me down. If I could crawl in a hole and die I would, but I have kids so that is out of the question.
Any advice, PLEASE

Becca;

In a few more days you will be functional again. You know what goes up, must come down. That's where you are at, but it's temporary. Continuing to use could last for years. We've done this, and it ain't real fun, you will also get through this.

[Becca911]

How are feeling today? I hope better. Please tell me just a few more days and I will be functional again.

becca...what r ur choices sweetie?  u are in this to get clean and u will....u were not on a high dose and yesterday there was probably still a little residual left in your body....today u r probably totally without drugs in ur system...it should be 4-5 days tops for the physical stuff like the runs and clamminess etc...i used more than u and i felt good enough to go back to work day 5....the fatigue and some depression lingered for quite a while for me sorry to say...just fatigue now...it is what we have to do to get clean...i guess many relapse because they can not face being uncomfortable for a bit...if u want to quit then u will have to go thru it...it is just the way it is...keep posting...lots of support and just do the best u can ...u have come too far to turn back now

[road2recovery]

For me the worst days were 3 and 4....It will probably get alittle worst before better...how is your heart?  I am worried about you...Please make sure if you feel bad so to the ER and make sure your heart is ok, k?
But i am so happy to hear you are doing this..Becca you have been trying for so long, and look at u, u need to be so proud of yourself........I know it is not fun, but please try to hang in there...The kids are old enough they can take care of themselves, and just tell them you have the flu, tell hubby he has to help and take care of everything else...Stay in your room, and tell the kids when they come in, to go back out, because u dont' want them to catch it...Take alot of hot baths...
I am "rooting" for you......
STAY STRONG

it will get better hon i promise you. Day 3 was my worst day by far, it was pure and total helll. after that, i started improving and im on day 12 now and doing SO MUCH better!! Ive been through WD so many times I cant count that high, but day 3 was always my worst every time I think. Just keep yourself busy as possible, hard as that may be and hang in there. I hear ya on the kid thing, i have two little boys to take care of too.

Thanks for the "cheering me on". This is worse than labor.

I am so sorry you have to go through this - it is agony, I know what you're saying. I think that getting some support would be a tremendous help. Go to an AA meeting (or NA, if you prefer) and tell people what you're going through. You'll be amazed at how much people will connect to what you're going through. And you'll get the support you need now and will need down the road. "Women's AA meetings" are particularly supportive - those women just surround the newbies with caring and concern and will help you get through. Some even allow kids/have a space for them to play/etc. Depends on where you live.

Don't give up! Hey, if you give up now you'll just have to go through day 1 and 2 all over again when you attempt this again, which you're gonna do eventually, sooner or later.

You will feel crappy for a while - but it will pass, I promise. Stay busy, distract yourself, sleep, journal, whatever gets you through. I'm cheering you on!

recovery care ....some type of support system to help you stay off the drugs , NA , or a therapist , or a pastor .... this helps with the mental part .

[joann1975]

You can do this! Keep yourself busy to keep your mind off of it...which you should be able to with kids. I also tapered down to 10mgs of lortab and today I was going to take 5mgs and said what they hey and have taken nothing....I don't feel 100% but I feel a tiny bit proud and that is helping me hang on. I am keeping busy w/my son and trying to find things to "organize" to take my mind off of it. You can do this! Stay strong!

Hang in there.  I know it feels real bad right now, but it will be over
soon and you'll have your life back.  I know for me the mental part
was harder than the detox.  I kept trying to get the thought of using
out of my head and I could not.  I finally realized that if I kept
busy that I did not dwell on it.  I took the time to help catch up on the
things I let go when I was using.  This will be like having a real bad flu
for you, about 7-10 days and you will pass the physical part.  Also for
the mental I went to AA meetings and got a sponsor, it saved my life.

Keep posting on here and you'll get the support you need.

Just do not use.

want do you mean " recovery care"? I just want to get through today.

[mommy52713]

Hun hang on and stay strong and remember you dont want or have to go through this ever again.Each day will get a little better . the anxiety will pass and if you just cant take it go to the doctor and they can help you.

[Becca911]

You've got to be kidding me, please say you're kidding, 4-7 days of this ****. I'm not sure   if I can handle 1 more hour.

[avisg]

Hun,the 2nd day was the WORST along with the third then things improved daily from that point on . This is not going to be easy but you can get threw it .You have been threw this before . The mental is always a lot harder. Have thought about recovery care?

[puranx]

first 4 are tough though, gets a little worse 2-4 then lightens up alot, promise you

[puranx]

sweety you got 4-7 days of hell. I went through physical stuff easily and then day 8 the anxiety and depression crushed me until about day 15-18, then by day 20-25 it was like it never happenend and been smoth sailing loving life ever since. Think just how short amount of time that is, i know it seems like eternity but you will look back even in jut 3-4 more days and be relieved. It just gets better everyday. Stay strong and busy and active.
