I haven't taken anything in 69 and 1/2 hours. It is getting really hard. I don't know what to do? I need help? The creepy crawlies are driving me nuts. I have found that a hot shower helps but I have two small children and can't stay in the shower. I am so afraid of back sliding! NOBODY knows about my addiction. I was taking 10 to 12 lorcet 10's a day and cut down to six a day! I quit cold turkey on Easter Sunday! Does anyone have any advice. I really need all I can get! I want off of this so bad....the last 2 years have been hell! I really wish there was something to take to make this easier. I live in a really really really small town and the docs around here are pill pushers! I can't go to them and ask for help because all they want to do is put me back on them and taper me down. That doesn't work for me. I have tried! That is why I went cold Turkey!
P.S. I have been reading the posts since last night. I am so amazed at all of you....I have read about 60 and 90 days!! I am glad to have my 69 and a half hours!!
God Bless

I don't feel courageous! I can't stop crying! I am so stupid to have done this to myself! I guess we have to pay the price for our actions don't we. Thank you for your reply. It means alot to know that some one just cared enough to even read it.

hi Danis,
Tapering is hard i went that route myself.I understand your frustration.It makes me sad that you are battleing this all alone.Do you know that you can go to NA or AA meetings and get support ? When we stop using we expierience floods of emotions that we have suppressed by using.Just don't pick up and i assure you it will get better.keep posting it will help.

Your a brave man goin cold turkey without any meds at all. If you can get to the store you can at least get some Immodium for the trots, some Advil for the pain (if you have any, I'm lucky I never do when I withdraw). But being as far into it as you are you should start to feel better soon usually the first 72hrs is the worst and then it starts to taper off. Sleep if you can, get some herbal tea for at night. Nothing with cafeine. Drink lots of water it's easy to get dehydrated and it will help flush your system out. I am sure your body has already turned on you, like it will. It takes time but you can do it. Just remember it forever because if you do any more pills you'll go back to going through it again. You might want to check out AA or NA after the worst of the withdrawals are over.

Oh yah. Cry away brother it's a cleansing process as well. I'm a big boy over 250 and I cry all the time right now. Your doin good the worst should be close to being over but don't expect to be joggin by tomorrow.
Sorry I should have made it clear that I am a woman in my first post. But now that I have said that.....Thank you so much for your support....all of you. I had a really bad time a few hours ago. I even called a local person that I know that deals....I had every intention of asking if they could spare anything til payday ( I know ....I am pathetic!!) But for some reason I just talked small talk and checked back and was so happy to see that someone had some advice for me. I actually logged off after reading all of your posts and called them back....I told them point blank....I am getting off....please don't call me or contact me in any way!! I am so proud of myself right now....hopfully tonight when I am laying here praying for sleep and for my "raw Nerves" to go away!! I will remember the feeling of taking action!! I am not having any pain really it is just this creepy crawlie feeling.....I do have the trots but I can handle that. I don't have to work until Thursday so I am hoping I will be able to function half way normally by then! Unfortunately like I said before....I live in a really small town. I guess you guys don't realize how small....I live in the mountians of West Virginia! Their are only 2000 people in the whole county. 219 in our town! We don't have access to a NA or AA.....I have checked into it and the closest is a hour and a half a way!
Any suggestions on how to aleve these raw nerves! I will try anything!
God Bless
