Play-by-Play dreamingoutloud, This thread is for addressing the concerns of milksnake. I have moved your post to another thread: "When do I start feeling normal?"
Play-by-Play hi there i am going thru the same thing. took my last norco yesterday and today feels simply awful. but we can do this thing. one minute at a time for me today. you hang in there, i'll hang in there with you as all of us are. hugs and prayers, gypsyboots remeraber, we just have to get thru this day.:angel:
Play-by-Play milksnake, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. This is a tough time for you so I want to say this gently... Be careful. This is what all addicts are afraid of. Something bad happening so early in recovery can push us to relapse. Be sure to talk talk talk, especially if you have thoughts of using. If you go to NA meetings, tell the group about your loss. If you just have family and frienRAB (no NA), talk to them. It's important to protect yourself, as this is one of those times you MAY turn to your drug of choice. Congratulations on day 16!! That is wonderful. No w/d symptoms? That is amazing. Feel like a million? That is unbelievable! I'm very happy for you. Sending sympathy your way...to you and your family... emsmom
Play-by-Play had a death in the family....haven't been posting...Anyway, ------ Day 16.... it's a done deal.... no w/d symptoms what-so-ever...feel like a million

God I love her so much. I'm sitting her typing bent over the keyboard, a wet rag on my head. I'm hot. seems someone is tighting the imaginary belt around my chest. i get up, take a deep breath and try to hold it but caint. sit back down, lean over and type some more. then i'm cold....put a blanket around me and shiver. thinking about the next few days aint helpin nuthin but yet i keep doing it. why? i want a cigarette but i quit 3 months ago. would it help? don't know. i'm just lookin for some kind of high, thats all. throwing the blanket off as i tingle all over and start to sweat. man, this sucks canal water...... don't know when the next post will be..........could be in a hr, 5hr, never
Play-by-Play Well, I am so proud of you! Day 7 YEEEHHHHAAAA!!!! Great job. I am not going to comment about the user name things because if I am thinking is true.. It's best just to keep my trap shut! hahaha Each to their own! You just keep doing what you are doing friend and you are going to kick the crap out of this addiction. I love your play by play idea! Keep it going. I think it will help many others which is what you intended on it doing in the first place and for me as you can tell.. Posting helps me big time!!! I swear some people must log on and see all my posts and think "does this woman not have a life?" but... it's a good coping tool for me and it's been workting thus far. You take care and be careful in Mexico if you go! Keep us posted!
Play-by-Play Hi Milksnake Sorry you are suffering so in withdrawal. The first days of my own withdrawal from Oxycodone were nearly unbearable. The anxiety and mental garbage were horrible, just horrible. Seems like a lifetime ago, but is not something I will forget. I, too, walked around the house continuuosly and aimlessly. I took 6, 7, 8 baths a day to try and make time pass. I was talking to myself and wondering if I would live through it all. As the days went by, I knew something had to change or I was not going to make it. I thought there vwas no fight left in me, but I dug really deep and found some afterall. I used it to help me change the way I was thinking about withdrawal. I began to look at each rotten symptom of withdrawal as a symptom of healing. Each symptom I endured became a moment of healing for my mind and body. I began to find a sense of accomplishment in my ability to endure. I wasn't successful each and every time, but certainly many more times than not. I worked to take the emotion out of the withdrawal and to view it all as a process. I continued to talk to myself... but now I told myself things like reminding myself to breathe slowly and concentrate on it to help an anxiety attack pass. I kept gathering tools to help myself... little coping tricks. When I found myself aimlessly moving, I instead made myself dance. I concentrated on dancing and my mind would find a little peace. I hope you discover lots of little coping mechanisms. Write them down.. log them and read them to help direct yourself when it all starts coming on. You are in the miRABt of a process of restoration and it does have a beginning, a middle and an end. The restoration comes. Peace reach
Play-by-Play Sorry to laugh at your near- car crash, but ... I did the SAME THING! I totally lit up a cigarette today because I was being driven nuts by that feeling of wanting something. Aside from tasting so much worse than I remeraber, I paid for those two drags with a couple hours of nausea afterward. Blech. Hahahaha! Well, here's to a little less "I'm clean!" euphoria, and a little more working at just being regular, happy, healthy people. We are on our way! I'm super proud of you and grateful for your "company" over these past days. Holly
