just starting day 7 no opiates, need some encouragememt

hello everyone, hope all is well. i am starting day 7 of cold turkey from vicodin and oc's, been abusing for about 3 years. dumbest mistake of my life. i am just wanting to feel normal, today i feel like everything is moving in slow motion, haven't really ate in a week, no motivation to do anything. day 1-4 were pure hell. those 4 days i would not wish on my worst enemy. i have never threw up so much in my life, so weak and no sleep. the last 3 day i have gotten better a little each day, i just want to feel whole again. i do know 1 thing, i'll will never take another pill again, no way no how, i will never go through that detox again, worse experience of my life. i am just looking for a little encouragement or advice, thanks and god bless

I know exactly how you feel. I puked to the point of dehydration. Everyone here has been through it. Day 9 for me and still don't really have an appetite. Just look how far you have already come, it takes time and everyday is a new day. Know that you are not alone,stay focused you can do this!!!! Take lots of vit, and drink lots of fluid its the only thing that is gonna make you feel better,even if you have to force it, and keep posting
