Day 14! i cant believe it

alright, so today marks day 14 of going ct from 200mg/day of hydro/oxy/methadone.
I cannot believe i made it this far, 2 weeks! and i have not cheated once. Ive tried stopping several times in the past but never got past day 5 or so.

as for wd's i still have the runs, sneezing like crazy, and i'm always cold. my legs feel so cold its like they are chilled to the bone. i hope that goes away. I've talked about lower back pain in previous posts, and i'm glad to say its easing a little now.

as for physical cravings for the drugs, i have none! thats an amazing feeling. to not have to worry how your going to get your next high. before that was on my mind ALL day every day. no more.

thanks everyone.

I would love to take credit for Thomas' recipe, but it was Thomas back in 2001 who came up with it. It is based on sound advice similar to what I got from Naturopathic Drs. I simply re-posted it to help others find it more easily.

you've been a big help to with your "recipe". day 8 ct, no trams, no hydro and slowly starting to feel again.

I started c/t today, tapering failed me. Today is day one and I am reading up on everything I can to help me get through this. May I ask, what is the "recipe" in which you refer to? I want as much back up info as I can get, I do not want to cheat therefore I feel as though I need many options to get through this. Also, reading stories such as yours gives me hope, hope that only we as addicts know the importance of. Thank you for that.

That is SO great! Congratulations! I myself am sitting here freezing like crazy at work. Day 4 for me today. I usually drink coffee in the morning here to stay warm but I have cut the caffiene out for now. What I wouln't give for a space heater or a hot cup of anything.

Keep on being strong and god bless.
