Good morning!
I wanted to make a post and introduce myself again, I just quit pills last Thursday and I've been hanging out here reading a lot of your guys' posts. I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories and struggles, and for all your comments.
This weekend was tough. I had an ok New Years eve, I wasn't as tempted as I thought. Mostly the cravings are always there, always hungry, but I've made it this far.
I'm going to try and get out of bed today. I need to get to the store for more bananas and a different kind of food, I've been eating nothing but peanut butter and jelly.
I spent almost the entire day yesterday in the bathtub with my gameboy. I feel really depressed, but I'm also feeling commited to quitting, so I'm accepting all sadness as a way to propel myself to get sober.
I haven't had any alcohol or aceitaminaphin (sp? Tylenol) but I have to say I do miss coffee. Should I not drink coffee? I'm not a huge caffine person, but I have no energy.
I hope everyone had a great New Year and good luck with your week.
When you were going through withdrawals, did it seem like it would just never end? I feel like there's no way I can do this for another five days. I will, but I'm trying not to think about it. I'm going one hour at a time.

Awww sweety I so feel your anguish in your post. It actually brought me right back to my own nightmare....I literally had flashbacks reading your post. I know it feels life hell and it is! Let this be a reminder to you as to why you never want to put another opiate in your body. It will get better soon and isn't it so weird how every single day seems like at least 3....for me time never ever went so slow.
I would stay away from coffee...I love coffee and tried to drink it...it made my tummy worse. I also spent hours in the tub with my mini VD player watching movies...boy can I relate to that.
Try energy drinks..I did lots of redbull the sugar free one...it helped tremendously...on day 4 or 5 I was in the health food store dying....buddy was trying to give me the spiel on every vitamin in the store.....I was a wreck..I left there with some really good B12 and get something for you adrenal gland...you have been on opiates a long time chances are your adrenal glands are depleted!
I am no doctor...so please these are just suggestions as to what I did to help make the w/d more comfortable. So check with your doctor...but I think you are doing fantastic! It will take a while yet but you will get there...please look into a strong recovery program..like AA or NA....or if thats not your cuppa...find some support other places....you will need it! You must get to the why's of your using for prescriptions drugs for years...only then will you be free from the bondage...keep up the good work!!!!!!!

I'll try and find the OTC thread that Rae started, for you. Read through it and see if there's anything that you think might help you...
Hang in there. Everyday gets better. I promise.
