Here I am on day two and I have cravings so bad, I could scream. I know I can't give up and this too shall pass...but...I wonder how long until it does pass. Will I ever get up and enjoy a morning without wishing I had a vicodin to take? I feel like I can't and don't want to do anything but sit on my behind all day. Right now, I am sleepy from being up most of the night. I wish I could crawl into bed and sleep for 8 mos., wake up and be normal again. It scares me that I may never feel normal again, I will always crave 24/7, and never be happy again. None the less, I am determined to press on with recovery and soberiety. I want to see if the day will ever come when I don't wake up feeling bummed I don't have any pills, I want to know I can do this like thousands before me have done. I ordered a recovery book from Barnes and Noble yesterday. I wish it would get here already! Thanks for allowing me to vent this off my chest. I am going to go have a good cry and I will be back later. I've read a few threads of those who are facing tests, surgery, and family problems. I'd like to say to them that my prayers are with them. Please pray for me too. Thank you!
It took about 3 weeks before I felt "normal" again, though the cravings never really go away.... But after 21 days, I actually woke up and didn't think "I wish I could take a vicodin for energy"......
Someone once told me it takes 3 weeks to make a habit and 3 weeks to break a habit.... so hang in there
For me, whenever I had a craving, I would come on here and read all of these posts and read about what others had gone through - it helps.

Dear MM I am right here with ya.Even though I'm on the suboxone it doesn't mean I don't miss my pills.Its like saying goodbye to an abusive lover.I'm sure that we will feel normal again.Our bodies are so use to having the drugs that it will take awhile for our bodies to get use to the change.I finally see that this last 48hrs are the first time in 3 years I haven't had my pills.Its been 12+ years since I've not been high everyday.Did I understand your going CT?That is very very brave.I don't think any words will help you through the hardest part but please know I am here mentally trying to be your shoulders until you feel stronger again......mj ps you can vent on me as much as you need ok?Just let it all go and I'll be here OK?????mj
