Still Here....day11

Just an update.

I decided to lay low as I got past some real lousy deppression related to wd. My doc gave me one klonopin for relief, but that is all I have had for 11 days. I found myself moody and snapping at my boys, which is absolutely unnacceptable!!!!

I am hanging in there.

Funny story.....my supplier actually called me up with a "great deal.....about $300 savings!" Funny stuff.
Anyway...the boys are up with me so I'll post more later.

mrjer,

Day 11 is awesome! The depression is normal with w/d too at least for me it was...One klonopin? Ah well I guess that's a good thing actually lol...

Oh yeah, and the "deal" your supplier had for ya? It seemed like every time I would detox and get clean, the pills were aroundevery corner....but if I had been still abusing and had run out and was frantically looking for em.....not a one to be found....go figure....

You keep hanging tough and try to do something fun with your boys today.

Have a good one,
Jan

Hey Jer!!! Good for you.Listen please know I say this with kindness ok.to me it seems stopping pills(as hard as it is)is the easy part..Learning to LIVE without them will be the challenge.You are doing great & need to stay strong.
I feel your going to have your good days & your REAL crappy days,but thats one reason this board can be a Godsend.On those bad days through your weakess moments youll get lots of love & support.
Keep up the good work.11 days may not seem like much,but it can be a lifetime to an addict...GOOD FOR YOU!!!+
mrjer:

So good to hear from you. I was wishing you would post and let us know how you are doing. Be careful with the Klonopin...pills to help us not be dependent on pills can be a big danger for the addict...

I am glad you are with your boys today. Hope wherever you are, the weather will let you enjoy some sunshine!

Have a great day!

Jer-

11 Days! wow, that really is HUGE. The nasty physical stuff should be behind you now.

The mental part of it is very very hard. Your mind will try to tell you anything and everything to get what it wants. Just dont give in. If you have a craving, do anything to get your mind off it..............Take a walk, Get some fresh air, Go for a ride, call someone, DO ANYTHING to get your mind off it.

I have two little ones myself so I know how trying that is while detoxing. I would sometimes just lay down with them and a book and read to them, when I didnt feel up to doing much and we would just read and have some quiet time, and they actually enjoyed it.

Take it easy on yourself, Your doing great.

Hugs.

Mrjer: So glad to hear you are still hanging in there....you are doing great and it WILL get better. :)
