Right on Ivy, Day three is awesome. You are almost there. Yeah... The sleep thing is usually one of the last things to come back, but a few tips... Around dinner time go for a walk, brisk if possible. Then an hour before bed, take a long hot shower. Afterwards take your benzo and have some hot tea (sleepy time). See if that helps you. Remember, for the next few days you are all about two things. Treat the Symptoms and DO NOT USE NO MATTER WHAT!! I am proud of you..... CA

Default Quick update on day 3

So. Its about 3:31pm where I am living, and like i said this morning I am on day 3. I ate a very good breakfast with Banana'a like CA saiiiddd. Then I ate a One -a - Day Women's Vitamin , and honestly I feel really good right now.I ate lunch with my grandma and it went down pretty good,I am very suprised I have not had any diarrhea? when I used to eat percs all the time and didnt have any I would get it bad..oh well I will be quite before it happens... Anywho YES this is my first time quitting Oxys/perc/vicoden whatever else painkiller I can get my hands on to ... So I had no idea what I was getting myself into <- today I have been doing allot of thinking. I looked in the mirror and I actually thought I looked a little better? my eyes were clear and the bright blue popped out.. I dont know where I am going with this but anyways, tonight I will only eat a tiny bit of a benzo because I sure as hell dont want to get stuck on those, if I dont sleep at ALL then I dont sleep, I will have to get over it , I DID this to myself.. its my punishment for doing this to my body for over a year! I am even thinking about being model for a skateboard compnay when I feel confortable in myown skin- I just CANNOT use, I keep telling myself over and over and over again. I will be back in the AM... for DAY 4 I CAN DO THIS... xoxo Ivy<3

Great Job IVy, put an X on this day and own it. Be proud of it. You are doing great, keep getting angry angry at the WD;s and be proud of yourself. Embrace each moment you feel well and each X you have on the calender. That will help you. IVY 3 X's tomorrow 4.. Keep going Ivy. You ARE going to do it. Don't forget tonight. Walk, Hot Shower a sliver of Benzo with some Sleepy time. Just think, by the weekend, you should be feeling so much better and you can enjoy the weekend without looking or worrying about pills. I can tell you that is AWESOME!!!!...........CA

I have been following your thread.
Those little blue, 30mg. oxies were my DoC.
Great job on getting to day 4. Like CA stated - you are going GREAT!

Keep up the good work, and stay focused. In a few days, your life will be 100x better.

Again, congrats on getting off of these things. They are very hard (as are all opiates). Be very proud of yourself - pat yourself on the back - you deserve it.

Wishing you nothing but the best!

Thank you so much for your kind words, I am very proud of myself to be on day 3! The thoughts that run through my little mind are crazy though... I get so mad at them voices! I was Doing laundry yesterday and just screamed into a towel , in the shower I cried .. This is HUGE... I never ever knew that eating a pill could actually cause such horror like things like I feel like I want to die at night, I get soooo sweaty and tossing and turning and stretching, and the list goes on. BUT I am sticking to the reason why I am here to this forum and that was to get clean because I WANTED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am kicking it's A$$. Xoxo Ivy

Hi Ivy. Ur doing great! That is exactly how it always goes with me too. U do much better when ur up and moving around during the day. Its crazy how it works! When u lay down or have any down time is when it always hits u the most. The brain is so powerfull. I swear sometimes ur head makes things so much worse. I have always used a little xanny at night too. Some times it seems like that doesnt even help. Imagine what it would b like with out it!lol But basically thats what i was getting at Ivy. Getting up and moving around, going for a walk, or the gym if u can, helps so much. It takes ur mind off it for a while. It does release some of that good stuff to ur brain and makes u feel well at least for a while u know. I have been where u r so many times Ivy. Things will get a lot better for u in a few days i promise! Personally I am just getting clean myself again. Finally got the Suboxone making me feel well. I will stay on this for a while to get myself use to living a different clean life style. One thing I can tell u for sure Ivy, taking one every once and a while once u feel better will never work! U will end up where i am and countless others still trying to get this right years later. I was just over 90 days clean a while back and messed it all up again. Went on a 6 month or so bender and here i am! But i feel like I am done with the whole life style! I am done putting the garbage in my body. Just keep it up and hang in there Ivy! Ur doing awesome!

Ryan

Yeah, the eating thing is tough. It was hard for me because as I have said many times, I did it alone. No one knew. When you are an addict the flu thing only works so many times. So, by the time I went through my WD I had used up too many flu excuses. I had to tough it out. That was 116 days ago. I read post for months as I was eating Oxys, then Percs (short time) and then Vicodins 7.5. But then on July 20th I posted and I started with my first X. Man was it hard, I was sick, I cried, but the hope I got from people on here kept me driving to complete each minute, each day and so on. The Reason I call myself CA is because many years ago I was addicted and would eat as many as I could, dr shop, you name it. ( I lived in Bradenton). I think I hit every hospital or clinic in the gulf coast. But I got clean and then 1 1/2 years ago I relapsed by hurting my back. Started out taking the perscribed amount. Then it was off to the races. My GF lost both of her parents within 6 weeks and I started using more and more to cope with life. I did not do the shopping or anything other than go through my script quick and get sick while waiting for the refills. So, that started to get old and I knew I needed help. THIS place was it. and has been ever since. I have made friends, people who understand and people who I have never seen before, yet people I would go to the end of the earth for to help. Why? Because every one of us deserve that. The Scarlet Letter of Addiction that we all have on our chest is not who we are inside. We are just sick and need each other to get better. So as you get better always remember that there are many ivys or CA's who need to hear how YOU did it. I hope this answers your questions about me. I am thankful for this site, and I am thankful you are GOING TO MAKE IT. Embrace it, learn to work the process and your life will change!!...... CA Day 4 Yeah!

The sleep thing is usally for most the last thing to get "normal" Now, while I say most, some people are not affected like others so keep that in mind. That being said, Try the different thing that you read about on this site. Stay away from addicting solutions though. When I went CT, I did not use benzos. I used the tylenol PM, Sleepy time, Excercise and patience. You cannot expect to put your body through all the bad and then expect it to just snap back. Some of the process takes longer. Sleep is one of those. But again, embrace every part of this and know you NEVER have to do this again... When I was going CT I did not post on weekends or nights either. I did all my pwosting in my office. I still do not post at night and very rarely on weekends. What I suggest for you to do this weekend is relax and just feel good about where you are. That will get you through the weekend. Obcessing about how AWESOME you are doing instead of where you will get that next pill... Keep it up IVY!........CA

Talking Day 7!!!

Been so busy at work! I am yes on day 7 and feel amazing, still not sleeping yet....But I have been walking and trying to stay up a little later at night, so when I do go to sleep my mind is in a little better place. I just want my sleep back =( Anywho.. the weeken was very tuff, the urge to use was constant, BUT I have been getting angry at the addiction screaming in my little head I WILL BEAT THIS!
I am doing great and I am so so happy to have all of you here with me , helping, encouraging me.This is only the beginning.........I have a tuff road ahead, I will need to keep posting though... this helps me the most when I need it. Putting my X today I was SO happy. Then I had 3 meetings today....I want to thank you CA especially =) you rock !! I am doing okay today .. the vitamins and walking are REALLY helping me, I have more energy that I ever thought I would. So I will keep doing what I am doing and eating better, taking care of my body that god gave me instead of destroying it for no reason AT ALL. xoxo*Ivy =)

...Proud of u Ivy! It takes a lot to not just pop one to make it through! Ur a strong chic! Its funny how it works when u get out and move around huh? Exercise and stuff like that is the best thing u can do. I can remember kicking the pills when I was in the gym constantly, and then doing it when i wasnt in there at all. The W/D seemed to last twice as long! Keep doing what ur doing Ivy and never look back!

Your right, I have said this before..When I am in bed sweating, freaking out ..I feel like ********..then as soon as I get my little self up and take a shower look in the mirror and say" girl..... you are doing great.." the WD feeling kinda just goes away.....It was really bad the first 2 days..I am ok..I did not die_ I have a second chance at life! I am thankfull that I have my new friends here! I am new to FB and I tried to search you and a stripper from Michigan popped up! lol . I will try again! Thank you again tomorrow is DAY8..XoXo Ivy*
Never looking back, going to look forward...."When everything seem's like an uphill struggle ,just think of the view from the top........

Day 8 Ivy!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Look at those X's build up. Keep doing that for at least a few months. What that will do is provide inspiration on those bad days or bad nights. 8 days is amazing. You should take a few minutes and go back and read your posts from the begining, then give yourself a big hug. But remember, this is a process not an event. WE are all warriors in the fight of our lives. The very first battle in this war is getting clean and you have now done that for 8 friggin days.....Next, keep building up your mind and replenishing your body with the good. You are young and will bounce back. Know this, you NEVER have to go through this again. How awesome is that. Well, Ivy, keep up the great work, and don't worry about the sleep thing. It will come back, just keep making the right choices and before you know it, you will wake up one day not realizing it and you will have gotton more sleep. Big hugs and smiles to you IVY.......... CA

Talking Day8 =)

Day 8 and still no sleep. =( I drank almost a whole bottle of wine so I could sleep through the whole night, I ended up waking up with a little hangover instead and still woke up in the middle of the night allot.. When I layed in bed my husband sleeping, the bedroom dark…. The moon shined through the window and I sat and thought and thought…my anxiety was kicking in…….Then I ate a zanax (a tiny bit).Eating lunch is okay it goes down well and I feel good at work… its still when I get home is when my desire to use gets REALLY BAD.. I just keep busy doing something else, and then at that very moment I then realized I have a serious problem.Yes I am clean DAY 8 that I am very proud of but why do I still want to use? Why is my mind telling me to when deep down inside I truly don’t want to use? My mind is playing tricks on me for sure. I keep telling myself don’t do it , you have come too far….xoxo Ivy

That is why I refer to this whole process as a war. Within the war there are many, many battles. Just continue to make the right choices. Keep putting X's on that calander and as time goes by, those thoughts will ease a bit. I would caution you about loading up on the wine. Don't make the mistake of trading habits. Be proud of where you are and embrace the work it took to get there. Man, it sure is humbling, but you should be proud of yourself. I have faith in you Ivy. I really believe you can continue on this path and inspire others like us to continue the fight. Keep it up, I am here for you..... CA... P.S> Are you drinking the sleepy time or trying Tylenol PM Max Strength? I know it worked for me, but not for some. ALso that routine I told you of, walk, hot hot shower, tea, Benzo sleep?

Talk to you soon..
Melinda

Red face DAY 9..and things arent looking so good.

Okay, I feel okay..my body that is .. Working is actually helping me allot . I am busy at metting, taking care of clients and going about my day ... but last night I had a talk with the dudue I get the pills from and he asked me if I wanted any..I seriously almost said yes.But I didnt...But the urge was so strong when i got off the phone. It seems as though that even know the drug is not in my body whatsoever...I still feel like an addict?... i am in *tears* wishing the craving would just go away. It got so bad that I just went for a ran , took a shower, took my med, and went to sleep. . Last night I did sleep better but I am still taking a little bit of a zanax. tonight I am not going to tke anything and see how that goes... wish me luck*tear* (maybe I need some professional help?)
