TO THIS SITE and EVERYONE"S POSTS.
I wanted to say thank-you to all on this site. I bumped into this bookmark I had and it made me reflect on when I was kicking. I can't remember exactly who I was talking to back then but they helped me with the posts and to hang on a sec longer from going to score. Thank you, you have no idea how grateful I am to you.
im trying to get clean, do you have any tips? and well done!!! keep up the good work you've got your life back!! x
Hi Gemma,
Thank you, but it was the people here helping me hang in there a sec longer.
I guess I was fortunate that I made it through. You can too! Just keep saying that it will get better, and that you have to get through this. I said I have to get through this over and over again for 4 days straight.
Know before hand that you will go thru the most difficult and painful 96 hours, atleast that was how long it was for me until I started to feel better, but you will get thru it. I actually tossed and turned between the living room and the bed. I wasn't able to sleep or eat for 3 days. So eat a good meal before your last dose. I also put ice packs on my head, the cold feeling helped me forget for about a minute and when your going through it a minute helps cause they will last a lifetime. Time definetly slows down when you go through it. I didn't vomit that much although I did go to the bathroom and I had to jump in the shower right after (it sucks). Have blankets and sheets in both places. Have chocolate on hand, it didn't do much but the quick energy maybe helped. You'll have restlessness but no energy to move, hot and cold flashes, My body actually jerked alot when I was going through it. Also I came to this site alot and there was someone there I could talk to thru posts. I counted the time alot too, for me the 36th to 72 are the absolute worst. After 72 you should be able to sleep a bit. Please also remember that it will take about 2 weeks before you start feeling really good but 96 hours for that withdrawl.
Gemma, you can do it, you know you can, take back your life, look in the mirror and try to remember the person you want to get back. Try to accept that it will be bad and hang on for another minute, once over the hump you'll be okay.
if you need to talk anytime while you go thru it, I'm here for you.
Be safe,
