Got through today just fine.... For all of you contemplating going cold turkey, it really isn't that miserable of an experience. It's not fun - I'm anxious and my legs feel all weird- but the first 24 hours weren't too miserable.
Since I didn't sleep all day like I planned, I'm going to go to bed in a little bit and hopefully sleep through the worst of it. I have to work tomorrow, but if it's TOO bad then I might have to call in sick (we'll see... it's my last day at that job, so I probably SHOULD go in...)
If I can't sleep (pretty sure that won't happen... lol) or if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll post on here for some support... If not, I'll be back on tomorrow.
Have a great night everyone!
danille hi congradulations on your first day,unfortuanlly i will be going through the whole process again myself,i almost had 3 months sober,my ankle and foot is really starting to swell up and turning black,blue and a nasty color of green so more than likley i won't be getting much sleep either,even though this has happened i'm going to have to dig deep inside myself to get the strength and courage to quit again it has been the hardest thing iv'e ever done,how long have you been takeing pills?i have been takeing them for 7yrs up until 3 months ago,i was going to take the wife and kids sled rideing this sunday looks like i'm going to have to put that on hold[lol] but knowing me i will do it anyways,with my luck i will probally smash into a tree and end up in a body cast[lmao]i hope you have a nice evening,talk to you later..........vinny.
Vin- Can you hold out with Tylenol or something? I know it hurts and is hard...
Way to go Danielle. The first day is the toughest and you have that behind you. Yeah, it is not a trip to Disney, but it isn't the end of the world either. So I am so happy that you made it. Tomorrow is another day and I'm looking forward to being clean again.
One day at a time.
Let me know if you need any support,

Vinny, I have been on pain pills for 2 1/2 years..... I quit in Sept and had over 2 months of sobriety under my belt before I relapsed again. I thought I'd be able to just take the ones as prescribed, but my tolerance jumped right back up to where it was.... then, before I knew it, I was taking them all day, every day.
just took my ambien, so I'm headed off to bed (early) to try and sleep through a lot of this..
Good luck, Vinny.... You can pull youself back up again

One down....and an incredible lifetime to go. Glad to be here to share the beginning with you. M
Feeling just fine today guys..... Wish I could just stay inside (boy, is it COLD out there!!!), but I have to go to the office today. Maybe it will do me some good to get out of the house so that I don't sit here and concentrate on what's going on..
The only problems seem to be the leg cramps and lack of energy.... I guess I wasn't taking them daily long enough to really suffer like last time (I have been taking them since the beginning of November again).
We'll see.... last time, Days 3-5 were the worst for me, so I don't want to start thinking I'm in the clear just yet.....
Thanks for are of your support
