what a hard day

Today was my first true day of detox I'm not going to call it withdrawals. Withdraws are when your out and waiting for that next pill. I don't know how I made it but I did. I even watched my husband take four tabs a soma and a morphine.  That was so hard. If hills pills 'would of accident fell in.my mouth'. I would have sighed in delight. But nope I stuck it out.  It has been a rollercoaster of.emotions with the toilet the star of the day. Imodium didn't work for me. But I did have to take a benzo to calm my nerves. I was so mean..bouncing around like a pinball and wow my bones hurt. I even managed to work on.cleaning my room. I haven't done that in months. I haven't ever been one day clean in over five years. Thanks for giving me strength to do this.

I broke down and took three valuims. I loath valuim. I'm all tired from the mall. It was not fun. Thank god my daughter wanted to leave that place. I hear you Jackryan. This is so hard. I want my meds back. I don't know of I have the courage to continue. I feel like jumping out of my skin. And to make matters worst my knees are really hurting. If I was a racehorse they'd just shoot me and put me out of misery. I think I'm gonna cave in to the pain. When will this end.

Well if its any consolation, that at least makes 2 of us.  In fact, I could use some Immodium, at the rate I'm visiting the mens room.  I feel like I've been runover by a train, then grabbed back up, and run BACK OVER by the same train AGAIN.  I've got Klonopin via MD which I have to admit I've taken one more this morning just to try (key word "try") and calm myself.  I'm maybe....36 hours? (+/-) clean....and feel tired yet nervous and jumpy, fatigued yet jittery, sad and melancholy....in fact, I realy wish I could just ball my eyes out, I know that has helped me in the past.  But I can never push myself into full-blown weeping like a baby....feels like trying to push a non-self-propelled lawnmover over the top of a steep hill....if I could JUST get it over the top...

Hopefully this'll help

By the way you should be proud of yourself...Here you are going through this pain and still offering words of advice to me and others. You are a good person and stronger than you realize...Stronger than me, If I saw my husband taking them in front of me I think I would have caved.. Don't beat yourself up to hard about the Soma. You are only human...Cold turkey is tough... The best of luck to you... ;)
