recovery

I have been addicted to hydrocodone on and off for the past three years. (100 mg) per day.  I have recently went through detox, and am wondering how long it will take before the strong cravings stop.  I know I need a plan of recovery, and am working on that right now.  Can anyone suggest things to do to help me get through this?

i don't know the recipe...it has amino acids and l-tyrosine. i even did a forum search for it and came up with nothing.  i don't know how that's possible, as it has been discussed here a million times.  hopefully, someone will post it for you....sorry.

Princess,
It sounds like you have the worst behind you.  Take my advice, don't fall off the wagon. Here's a reminder to you, (I am starting detox this sunday) the life I am living sucks so bad, I would trade with you right now. Be proud of the job you've done thus far, you are doing great. Hang in there, bite the bullet.

I HAVE BEEN ABOUT 9 DAYS CLEAN AND MY LEGS STILL WAKE ME UP EVERY NIGHT. I STARTED TO EXERCISE IN THE GYM (I WAS TOLD THAT- YOUR NATURAL PAIN KILLERS WOULD HELP)AND THE PAIN SUBSIDED. THINK OF ALL THE PAIN YOU ARE GOING THRU NOW. IT WILL GO AWAY IN TIME I AM TOLD. IF YOU START WITH THE BAD HABITS AGAIN IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE............
BROWSE THRU THIS FORUM EVERY TIME YOU HAVE A CRAVING AND I PROMISE IF YOU ARE TRUE TO YOURSELF ABOUT QUITTING YOU WILL SUSTAIN FROM USING. THERE IS A RECIPE THAT YOU CAN BUY (OVER THE COUNTER)THAT CAN HELP GREATLY.IF YOU WANT I CAN SEND IT TO YOU VIA E-MAIL IF YOU WANT JUST POST BACK YOUR E-MAIL AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU......................................
HAVE FAITH I AM TRYING TOO...........

Hi everyone I am sorry to burst in on someone else thread but it would not let me post a question(too many).  First of all I want to say that reading all of ur postings has been very comforting for me!!!!  I am on day 16 of cold turkey off of 25-30 7.5's a day, im still not sure that all this is even worth it.  My legs still ache my head hurts, I have NO energy!!!!  its seems like the longer I go the worse the cravings get.  I have a hard time just getting off the couch most of the time let alone when im at work.  I know i must sound like a cry baby but does anyone know how much longer it may be till i get any energy at all?  I am taking a strong multi and amino acids, i am also on paxil, but i swear this depresion and lack of energy is going to may me go back to good ole dr watson, any advice?
