You GO girl !!!! We're all here to help you, just keep posting....Dave
1st of all congratulations.I say all the time if I can do it anyone can.As far as u saying u have no will power u clearly do.I assume ur tapering(MOST cant that takes tremendous willpower)if ur not tapering just flushing pills is a huge deal(I have but not when I was using or n the begining I couldnt have).Dont sell urself short.As for the vitamins they should help.Dont forget immodium(name brand)take generously through the first few days if u need it.U have a plan,set a date&sound determined thats very important.
Yes i have tapered somewhat but probably not enough to make a big difference, if any at all. I did pick up immodium to "slow things down ", so to speak. But there is a video on utube that i was watching that says immoium is an opiate?????? Please someone tell me, is there any truth to that? Also as far as the taper goes, my husband has been an incredible support. He leaves for work every am, after leaving me my daily allowance. I have certainly shown dicpline and yesturday when he came home, he was very happy to see that i still had some meds remaining. But........this am he left without leaving me anything, he simply forgot. Of course as soon as my eyes open, i am checking the bottle to make sure "everything will be ok" BS. As soon as i noticed he forgot, the panic set in, and i was freaking out. Its not that i needed the pills, but i needed the security of knowing i had them. Once i got ahold of him, found out where the were everything was fine. Just the feeling of not being in control of my recovery really scared me. Now here i am......i have the entire bottle, i am sure he has not counted them, but i sure have. I will allow myself to have less then yesturday, and will not cheat. After all I AM GETTING MY LIFE BACK. I have never gone through something as challenaging in my entire life. In a weird sort of way, i am looking forword to thursday night, when i flush the rest. Dont get me wrong, i am totally scared and freaking out at times, but also determined and sooooo ready. Thanks guys, you keep me strong and focused.
Immodium isnt an opiate.The best way I can explain it is it has the same binders that opiates do to stop u up so to speak.Basically its like an opiate but no matter how much u take it wont get u high.U wont get dependant on it(as I said take it generously but only if/when u need it&shouldnt take it more than a few days n a row so ur body can get back to doing things on its own).Thats the last thing u need to worry about.I totally understand being panicked about not having ur meds even if u arent gonna take em when ur taping or especially n addiction its a comfort thing.U seem to be doing great.I have a wondefully supportive husband as well and he has been vital to my sobriety.Oddly I feel like having him has brought us together even more.
Thank you for clarifying, i didnt think it was, and was suprized to hear that. Haha the thing i want is to substitute one opiate with another. I JUST WANT A CHEMICAL FREE AND CLEAN BODY! Thanks again for your support and way to go on your sobrity. I wish i was where you are!
