CONGRATS ON GOING TO THE DR.....I HOPE THEY CAN HELP!!! LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!!! TODAY IS DAY 1 FOR ME....NO PILLS!!!! W/D'S STARTED LAST NIGHT...I TOOK HOT BATH AND 2 BENADRYL.....MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME....I TOOK THERA FLU THIS MORNING...SEEMED TO HELP WITH THE HOT/COLD SKIN.....1/2 MUS. RELAXER FOR MY LEGS.....SO FAR, I FEEL OK! YOUR IN MY PRAYERS....GOOD LUCK!
MJ....great news for you! Hope Dr. can help. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Jenny2..........Way to go! Good luck today, and tomorrow. Did you get the B12? It was SO helpful to me, or at least I convinced myself it was and that was all that mattered. Just remember that this is only going to last a few days (the w/d), but the benefit to you and your family is unending.
You are so young and have babies........ it is so important for you to be present during their childhood. I got really bad into the pills when my baby boy was 1 year old. I am just now getting clean and he just turned 9. Look at all I missed. Please don't be like me. Living without the pills is awesome! You will be in my thoughts and prayers today.
Take care all.......Carol
CAROL...YES I GOT THE B12.......HAVEN'T TAKEN IT YET....I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN....I'VE BEEN ON THESE SINCE MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN....SHE IS 5!!! I KNOW I'VE MISSED ALOT.....HOW LONG WILL THESE W/D LAST...I DON'T REMEBER.....I'VE QUIT SEVERAL TIMES.....NEVER FOR VERY LONG THOUGH.....I KNOW WITH FRIENDS LIKE EACH OF YOU...I'LL MAKE IT!!! I'VE NEVER HAD HELP BEFORE....NO ENCOURAGING WORDS.....THAT'S THE HARDEST ABOUT MY ADDICTION, IT'S BEEN A SECRET......
Jennie2.........It wasn't until I got VERY serious about getting clean that I actually admitted my problems to a couple of friends, got on this board, etc.
What I'm saying is, as long as I kept it a secret, I justified relapsing. When I went public, I felt I needed to be stronger and show them I could do it. Do you have anyone you can talk to face to face? Meetings? It helps tremendously!
Keeps you accountable. Or at least it helped and continues to help me.
I know it wouldn't be the end of the world.....but if I had to tell my supporters today that I had relapsed, it would be very hard.
Just hang on for today! It gets easier.
btw........w/d is different for everyone.......on about day 18, I started feeling normal.......by about day 21-22.....I was closer to normal physically.
On day 44 today,,,,,,I'm still wondering what mentally normal is. LOL
But, I'm not giving up. Some days are better than others. After 8 years I shouldn't expect an overnight recovery, huh?
Take care of yourself today!
YOU HAD THE CHILLS...DIRRHEA....ETC....UP UNTIL DAY 18? OMG...HOW DID YOU SURVIVE? I WAS THINKING LIKE A WEEK?!
Hey Molly,
I am glad you found what you were looking for.....Yes it was me who wasn't sure if ultram contained opiates....
Hope all of you guys are well this morning...Carol your husband lightening up on you alittle, hope so....tell him it is the slow and steady route for you....
Take care everyone
Tina
Jenny2, you are in my prayers.....you take care!

Jennie2 and all........Sorry..I'm running around the house doing things and forget I have posted......anyway......as for the w/d......I honestly do not remember how long the leg cramps, diareaha (sp) lasted. I only remember that I didn't feel so great until around 18. The worst of it was definitely the first 12-13 days. But I am a big baby and wanted to feel great immediately. Maybe I'm not a good one to ask. Just know, that since I don't have a vivid memory of it, it couldn't have been that bad. And my history of abuse sounds worse than yours, so maybe yours will not be so bad!!! There's always hope!
Misty.......Yes, hubby and I have spent a great deal of time talking past 3 days. I finally just told him starting a new career was not on my list of desirable things right now. Also told him if he was better informed he would have known that. He honestly thought he was doing me a favor by getting me something to do outside the home. So, it's all worked out. No bicycle store.
He's reading and learning more about my "disease" and what the next few months may or may not be like, etc. He truly is a great guy and will do anything to help me. I am so blessed and grateful. We joined the Alanon site on MSN you suggested and have spent some time there lurking. Thanks so much for the info. Hope you all are having the best day possible!
Hi Carol,
I am so glad that you seem to have him on the right page as you.....Things will all work out, just takes time and lots of understanding of each others views. Glad you are lurking...lol.....keep a lookout for me. I am usually on at nights, you will know it is me with no problem.....remember whatever is said there stays there which is great, so don't feel uncomfortable and no I don't want to know what name your husband is using.......lol
You have a great day,
Tina
