DAY 2
Good morning it is day 2 which I know is no winning track record but to me it is huge.Day 1 was survivable{not sure that is a word].I took iots of advil but no vics! I know that reading these post do really help me it makes me feel I am not alone.Thank you
Boy did I need all the positive stuff,I got all the items from Thomas recipe at least the over counter stuff and it has to be helping along with all of you Thank you
Good job, it's always one day at a time. On those days you think you really, really want to take just one. Say to yourself, maybe tomorrow but today I can wait. Sounds corny but it helped me.
well, thanks for the compliments and encouragement...
sickcookie... keep fighting it... dont give up

taek the mental cravings are brutal sometimes. Man my heart starts racing,I can't think straight, I feel like i'm gonna just go nuts so I try just slowing down,taking deep breaths and just relax my mind. It's really hard sometimes but most of the time is ok. I had no idea that they would be this strong and now I understand the relapse.
Sickcookie I dont want to scare you with that but it is part of it. It has to be dealt with just like the physical part. It can be done and the good thing is that its not like the withdrawl and constantly there. It comes and goes. Good luck and stick to your guns.

Time might be dragging by right now....but it really does get better! Glad that you're here. I hear you w/the hamstring, and if I tore one it would be hell to say no to pills. I'm only 14 days, but had a 6 year habit. Don't let yourself fall into that life. I'm now working on making up for living dead for 6 years. I look forward to my new life. I already have people (that don't know about my habit) that are already noticing...something different about me........they just can't put their finger on it. Humph! Boy if they really knew! I'm living now in recovery, not dieing anymore.
Sorry but I won't except this poor excuse to bow out from some praise. :)It is a battle for each of us. and Yes there are those that have succeeded over insurmountable odds. I do agree with that. But still....Kudos to you!
Cogratualtions on day 2...it is a big deal...and we just keep on doing it, one day at a time! Hang in there and keep posting!
taekwondo: I can relate. I too, am tapering and tomorrow is my last1/4 vic. I hope when I get the temptation to use, I don't think...."well, wd weren't that bad....." I really give credit to all who have come so far....

i dont deserve credit.. really.. my habit may not have been as bad as others.. plus i did have a stint from july to late august when i had no pain pills either.. then i tore my hamstring in late august and have been on them ever since.. so really, some of you guys who have battled for years with this stuff deserve FAR MORE credit than i do... my motivation has come from people on this site... when i found this site, my problem WAS getting worse... thanks to everyone here, i think its over....
We all know that any day clean is a HUGE accomplishment!!!!!!!!!!
Hang tight. It is survivable (it is a word). It is also doable. Look in my journals for the Thomas recipe. Heed any warnings about other meds. See if that will help you get through a bit easier. Good job! and Welcome to the forum. Stay around here. You will get a wealth of info and help to get you through this.
taekwondo- You are amazing me. I couldn't have even thought about going to work through this. My hats off to you!
