Well Made It Through Day 9 Lets Get On With 10

well today i am facing day ten i feel better than yesterday but didnt sleep very well at all. yesterday was pretty rough day at work i was on edge all day but i just try to stay busy and wait till its time to go home. the cravings are here but i am fighting it. all i do is remember how i felt last week and that changes my whole thought. i have came to far to turn back . does anyone know how long it takes to detox off hydros and get it clearly out of your system i know it stays in you fat cells fat quiet a while but i was just wondering what the norm is? cause i feel better but then i wonder if the edgyness ever goes away. im sure it will. u know the mind of an addict i something else before i was one i always thought plp were just weak minded but this is not true it really is a sickness plp that havent been there do no. but i know now. well lets get on with day 10.
Hi
1st post to you, but I have been reading your progress, your doing great!!
I Think it was about a full 2 weeks before I Really felt OK, Cravings come & go but everyday your clean, It will be easier to not want to act on it.
Do something good for yourself, you deserve it, what did you like to do before you used, I Liked to read, but still don't have my concentration back real good.
But have you considered meetings?
People there are pretty good at grounding you & giving good advice, even if you don't want to talk at a meeting.........Just listening is helpful.
I'm just coming up on 3 months, so, There will be a lot of people who will read this & offer suggestions, and they know what their talking about.
One thing that helps me is music, stay away from sad stuff...........I Just walk around doin stuff singing at the top of my lungs, Keeps all the animals away from the house too LMAO!!!
Keep up the good work........Your worth it!!
Love Dottie
thanks irish i am hanging in there the cravings are there but i havent acted on them and i dont want to at all i am just tierd of being on edge i have the librium for this but i dont want to take it cause it seems to me it makes it worse well a full 2 weeks thats cool i have just a few days and i feel good other than cravings and on edge this web site has really helped me out i just keep telling my self 1 day at a time. i was thinking today at work you know its a funny thing about an addict you can never just have one one leads to thousands you know when i first started using hydros i would take them only every 2 to three days cause i didnt want to get addicted and before i knew it iwas waking up feeling like crap then once u notice that when u take that next fix u are hooked. u realize that connection between the 2 and its all down hill well thanks for the advice and heres to day ten yes i am proud of myself. and many to come.
Congrats!!!! I have also found cranking up the tunes and singing at the top of my lungs helps so much.it even gets me motivated..........I can't imagine working and going thru wd......it would make it worse I think....you are getting htere.I am on day 15 so I know how you are feeling.........I have also started a liver detox yesterday to see if that helps get the crap outta my system faster........omg the smell that comes outta your pours is weird..........hang in there you are doing it.....this site has been the best thing I came across.so just keep coming back
