IT"S OKAY !!!

Everything you are feeling I went thru 4-5 days ago...your almost thru it...I promise.

I know what is like to just drop to the ground, and the clock does not move, and your mind and body just wants relief...and you just keep thinking if only I could just have 1 or 2 to take this misery away....DONT

Your feelings and withdrawls are 100% normal and right on track...just dont focus on your suffering. Movies, or reading etc never worked for me in the first few days, because I could never find any enjoyment in them without the drug....but find what will work for you the best.

My first 2-3 days, I had noooo energy and was just bearing my cross. I was on the floor, so many times....but I KNEW that it would pass...and guess what,

Today is day 7 from 18-20 hydros....and all of that passed.

PLEASE RE-READ THIS THREAD...IT IS JUST YOUR BODY AND MIND SCREAMING OUT FOR RELIEF...IT WILL GO AWAY !!!!

YOUR 24 HOURS AWAY FROM TURNING THE CORNER AND GETTING YOUR LIFE BACK......JUST FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE...AND DO NOT COMPROMISE....KEEP YOUR MIND ON TOMORROW!

Look how powerful these drugs are!! Look what they have done to you, and look what they are making you go through right now....do you really want to let them be the master over your life agian, until they take your life?

As I said, you will have ups and downs...they come and go, just fight right through them, do not fear nothing, because YOU ARE BEATING YOUR HELLBOUND ADDICTION...KEEP FIGHTING, AND KEEP PRAYING AND CRYING OUT TO GOD!

Keep posting, youre going to make it...and take that "just 1 pill thought" and crush it out of your mind with all the hate you have for that drug.

God Bless You...and May He put His Loving Grace and Spirit upon you, to give you the strength in every area that you need it, to obtain your victory!

With all my heart,
love,
Todd

Getting your life back is closer than you even know...!!!

God Bless,
Todd

PS: You have nothing to fear except fear itself...AND IN DAY 3, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR FEAR !! - SO DO NOT BE SCARED, BUT UPLIFT YOURSELF FOR WINNING THE GOOD FIGHT!

You know that it really  is going to be alright. You are controlling things now and the physical is going to be bearable. You have just got to get a grip on the fear thing.No offense, but i do not care for your name anymore. it is like an affirmation over and over again that you are scared.  use this time to get more and more confident that you are going to be able to handle what ever may come when you quit. You are going to face it head on and not be scared.

Sometimes the fear is the worst symptom of all. There are lots of us that made it through and you are going to also. you are doing a great job!

Just calm down a little, and read slow okay..

What you are feeling is 100% normal. Your almost through the worst days of hell....trust what you read.

It WILL GO AWAY...what you are feeling right now, is your body, and mind craving the drug so bad, to bring you relief from the suffering...it is the normal w/d's...your almost 1 more day and your through the worst part...

I know all the withdrawls and anxiety your going through..

YOUR OVER 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE WORST...You HAVE to go through this, to get to day 4-5...from there, you will began to see the light...and it gets soooo much easier.

JUST KEEP PRAYING, AND PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST INTO JESUS CHRIST!

We are here for you, BUT DONT FORGET ABOUT GOD...CALL OUT TO HIM, FOR HIS HELP.

Just keep focusing on other things than the present sufferings..I know its hard, but I coming up on day 7 from 18-20 hydros a day cold turkey, and I feel sooo good on day 6....well I did have my emotional crying moment 1/2 of the morning, but its all part of the process.

Just keep praying and keep posting!  We are here for you...your almost there, just keep running right through the Valley of Shadow of Death, and you'll come out the other side and so happy that you stuck with it.

May God Immensly touch and pour out His Loving Grace into your life!
With much love and care,
Todd

PS:  COMPROMISE IS A BATTLEFIELD...DO NOT COMPROMISE, OR LOOK BACK...JUST KEEP FIGHTING WITH EVERYTING YOU HAVE!

They may be the worst...but in the grand scheme of life it will be SO worth it to get clean! I know you can do this and I know you will be so much happier! I'm not saying it's easy....but this is do-able and the end result is awesome!

By the way...Congratulations on day 2!!! Keep up the good work!

You need to have faith in yourself! YOU CAN DO THIS...YOU CAN BEAT THIS ADDICTION AND YOU WILL! I don't mean there is no reason to not trust us....most of us have been in your shoes. (I personally did a taper..long/slow one) Everyone is different in their recovery. I personally believe that alot of it is mind over matter...have a positive attitude. Even when you don't feel well try to get up and do stuff...get out of the house.

Keep posting we are here for you!

it really will be ok! some people do have problems for while, but everyone IS different! Have faith in yourself and others. Your life will be better without the pills. It does take some time, once your physical symptoms go away you'll feel better and have more faith! you can do this, lean on us here, we're here for you!! :)
