if she wants to stay you should probably let her it would be great support for you i think and yeah about the sleep make sure you have some good dvd's or something cause to tell you the truth there is not going to be munch sleeping at least for most there isn't but hey if you know what to expect you won't be surprised you know ,it's not the worst thing in the world but then again it's not the greatest also so just hang with your wife do the Thomas and if nothing else just read and post if you can't sleep that's what i did like for 4 days i wasn't able to sleep but like a couple hours if that ,but after the 4th day it will start to come back i did take xanax and that helped but only while i detoxed ,didn't want to start another problem you know heck my friend gave me like 12 and i gave him back 8 when day 4 was over so i only took 4 but that was just to sleep you know .so your going at it right just be patient and always remember one day at a time man and you will be off those little demon bas tards ...God bless....Jeff..
keep thinking positive guy! If all these great people on here can do it and live we all can!
Remember, as soon as you can, anything that diverts your attention away from the physical and mental discomfort helps.
1 day plus some...you are doing great!

Feeling a little better at this point.Gettin ready to take an epson salt bath[legs are killin me] My wife has been great with this.I break rocks with hammer and chisel for a living and this is by far the toughest thing I've ever done.It has been 30 hours since my last pill,and my outlook on the matter has become more positive.My optimism stems from being in this forum.Thanx to all.
Just wanted to offer some encouragement in your process....it is a very rough thing to overcome, but most definitely worth doing. I have been struggling with opiate addiction for years and I really wish i would have given this much effort at the 3 month period like yourself. That will work in your favor in the sense the WDS should not last as long, but they will be just as intense in the beginning.
I also wanted to be alone the first few days, but I also had to be sensitive to my wife's attempt to help and understand, so I found myself opening up and explaining my situation and that did wonders for us both....just wanted to throw that out there....she can never understand what we are going through, but at the same time, she can be a very big help.
The important thing is that you understand that getting clean is the only option....the only thing after addiction is more pain and suffering, so you are doing the very best thing by confronting it right now....I wish you the best.

I stopped hydros at 100mg per day + some. I bought my last batch and did a little taper. I had a 4 day detox and I went to work looking like crap some, but I told my supervisor what was up. It is an admin job. I think you will have pretty good luck - I'm not telling you not to do what ever to stay comfortable, but don't "fight" the detox - just accept whatever symptoms of discomfort - even sleepless nights - as part of the process. I've found that keeping as busy as possible (walks are good or TV, etc) keeps your mind occupied and you don't notice things as bad.
Every case is unique - it may not be the nightmare for you it is for some. And the worst of it is over at 4-5 days.
Just keep your mind on the fact that you will be clean soon, and realize that you may want to be vigilant and careful with similar medications for the rest of your life. If you have to have a med and it is directed by your doc, just don't do it more than a couple of days and don't allow yourself to do more than directed.
I switched to Tramadol after I got off Hydros and it is very addictive too. I'm doing a slow taper and even the strongest symtoms of detox and my process isn't the nightmare of I've seen posted here - at least doesn't seem like it. Good luck~ prayers sent your way!
