Hello:
it is bdwife again. Today I am feeling very well as a matter of fact. Maybe it is because my son and daughter in law are in the hospital as I write, having that baby girl. Maybe I just needed a boost of life to make me feel better, sounds good anyway. For all of you out there that think you can't make it, you CAN, you really can. It was pure he-- for me detoxing at home, but it sure will be good to have my life back. I encourage anyone who has the will power to keep going. i thought I never would feel normal, except I am still not normal, but am getting closer every day. By all means, dont get me wrong, I am still detoxing, but I sure feel alot better today, everyone always said "it does get better,: I guess they are right, it does get better. No more alcohol in the morning either, that was a bad way to go. Please wish me luck, I am really going to try and stay clean this time. With gods help, I will survive.

Glad to hear it, bdwife.....that's great.....I'm doing my best NOT to get back to "normal," if you know what I mean (wink)....I think you'll find that any alcohol, any time, is not a good idea if you're trying to stay clean longterm, but we're all finding our way. Continued success, M.
Hi bdwife,
Wanted to wish you all the best. I was just wondering what you are detoxing from? I'm also doing it "on my own" at home, with children. You sound inspiring. Sorry if I missed a previous post, I just started posting a couple of days ago. Thanks and best of luck to you. Perc

Hi per/oc
I was taking 9 methadone (45 mil) a day and also lortab 7.5 at least 6 of them a day. It was awful. I finally weaned from the 9 down to a half a tab, and a half of a lortab a day. I did not feel great but not too bad with the weaning. Then of course there was none. I actually went through just 2 really bad days. the headaches were extreme. Of course the running to the toilet lasted about 2 weeks. It has been about 2 l/2 weeks now with nothing. I had tried many times cold turkey and I could not stand the w/d. The weaning was sooo much better. I am not still 100%, but I sure do feel alot better. The "no energy" is the worst part. I can't seem to get the energy to clean house, or do anything. But it is coming back slowly. I now have a new granddaughter, she is beautiful. I went to the hospital, and I felt great the whole time I was there. Maybe some of it is in my head, like if I do something and do not think about feeling bad, I am ok. I know I do not want to go back to the pills. I wonder though if I would get hurt or something and they gave me a pill at the hospital, what would I do? I think I would have to try and fight the pain. I dont know what one pill would do, but I do not think I want to find out. I hope I can be strong and stay clean. I need my health back. I hope you are doing well with your detox at home. I drink lots of water. It seems to help. And try to walk around the block each day. I am going to try and do some work today at home and actually go to a wedding tomorrow. I have lost my job that I had for 11 years due to being late, etc. I really screwed it up. But I will look for another. Good luck to you. Write if you need to talk, I am here.

Hi bdwife. I'm so glad that you are feeling better! Congrats on your new granddaughter! I say just keep yourself (and your mind) occupied and things can only get better from here, right? I've been clean for over a month and I went c/t at home. it was horrible! But I am better now. I still lack energy, but life in general is better. Good luck and God bless!
Hi! Glad all is well with you or at least better.. i was wondering if you guys have ever heard of or tried L-tyrosine accompanied with b6 vitamins (for absorbtion) which is supposed to help with energy revival? take care
Hi fear, I have never heard of that, but what is it exactly? I would be willing to try it if it would help with my lack of energy.
Hi:
I have heard of L-Tyrosine before, I believe when I tried to detox once before I tried it. I will get some, and hopefullly it will help with the energy. Today I actually cleaned the Kitchen, yea! However, it sure took alot out of me. Only one room at a time, tomorrow maybe the living rooms????/ Thanks for all your support, I am trying really hard to recoup. Hope you can all do the same.
This is a great board, I love it. you all are wonderful and understand.
