I wonder why once again I lie torturd in the bowls of withdrawls ugly cluth. Is this my desiny and if  it is it better damb be time for a new chapter. I have money I honestly don't want drugs. I get confused and glorify the high.....hahahaa, They should call it low cause it will bring you lower than you ever thought imaginable. I guess "wanna come get lower than you ever want with me?" Does not hold the same lure. I was living in sobriety once before a last set of relapses and I rember feeling lucky that I was an addict. It gave me an outlook that only other addicts could grab it was a second chance and I laughed, boy did I laugh when it was funny or not. I guess the answers are in me just helps to have someone guiede me through this for I am alone. And I'm a tough little girl but when it plays tricks on my mind and i find myself so far from who I am I get scared. And since so hard to do anything it's nice to be told what to do. thank you all........I'll Hold on tonight Georgia might be hard but that I got.

That is very true, once you have been on that side, it gives you a different perspective. The worst for me was realizing how strong a hold it had over me, that really scared me and made me realize how bad it really was. I had quit before, but this last time was way more rough than I had expected. Get some Nyquil or Robitussin to help with the RLS and sleep.
And you are not alone, even if you don't know it, many people are rooting for you!
What were you into, Pills, or harder stuff? Might be able to let you know what to expect coming up...

One more upbeat song for ya, Go to youtube, look for KCRW, Ane Brun, Do you Remember, a really good performance.

I really like this song!!!!.I read this whole thread yesterday...Lately which is longer than its seems h. Before that pills. The run is like where did a year go. Such denial that people take antidepressants well these are mine.I'm a cat with 11lives and lived 12. Like I don't need horrible more horrible repercussions than just the guilt I feel. Noone should be as lucky as me and if I give up on this Georgia it is it for me. I have to do it this time. my stomach and nausea is real bad!!! I dont get rls until i least expect it or try to sleep. I'm not moving but not laying down. I have found nothing but time. lope im not gnna take 100 so the modest double dose is of no help. I have alot of benzos which seem to be no help, but they prob helping more than I think. Thank you Georgia I feel real alone so Thank You!!!!!!

Hey Purple how you doing?
Try to see if you can find some kratom. Smoke shops can carry it, I would say to get the powdered leaf if you can. If it is not "enhanced" take 3 caps. If it is enhanced, try just one wait 15 min and see if it helps, this can stop the bad WD's right away.

Some more music for you, got to livefromdarylshouse.com/currentep.html?ep_id=35
Check out the vids they have on there, some more really good music. I really like the sets with Fitz and the tantrums as well.

Hang in there!

Breaking free-
Our personal world is really small. Our views and beliefs, feelings, emotions, etc. are based on the environment we find ourselves in at any given time, it is hard to recognize this and realize that it will and always does change. Think of it as walking around in the dark, with a flashlight shining down from above you, you only get to see what is near you, in your little circle of light. This view will stay the same unless you start to venture out down different paths.
Think back to times before addiction, now compare it to the present. Like you said before, you really can’t appreciate it unless you have been down that road. That feeling of relief, of new beginnings, comes with getting free of the hold the drug has on you. It is knowing (and remembering) that there is so much more in this world than it. That is what keeps driving me to stay free.
The world is a beautiful, horrible, indifferent, and an amazing place. I feel my role is to see it, as it is.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a passing stranger, he said two things; “You know we all have our issues, you’re not alright, I’m not alright, but that’s alright, because so does everybody else.” Then he said “Remember, the darkest part of night, is just before dawn”.
I met this guy in the Airport in Chicago, waiting on a connecting flight. He was an older guy, but not very old, I would say he was in his early 60’s, and he was writing things down in this little note book he had. I was traveling home, for a family emergency concerning my brother (who was an H addict and eventually lost the fight with it) and this guy could tell I was disturbed. We struck up a conversation, and he would stop every now and then and write stuff in his note book. I finally asked him what he was writing down, and he said he was remembering our meeting. He said that he had Alzheimer’s and would forget things so he would write them down in his notebook, to help jog his memory.
I looked at his carry-on bag and saw he had dozens and dozens of notebooks with different dates and times written on them. I looked at what he had written down from our meeting, the one thing that caught my eye was a single line, it said “two circles of light meet in an airport, and made a rainbow”.
You keep pushing down that path, start looking at the things that are getting illuminated, and know that there is a rainbow ahead of you.

Peace, strength and love.

It took me a good week to get over the WD's. The depression and emotional side was longer, and I still have issues with it...the worst will be over in the next couple of days. I would recommend you call in sick tomorrow (start the process today) tell them you have the flu, or whatever you have to. This was a big thing for me as well, I had just started a new job when I went thru this and was really panicked I would loose it if they found out. Every minuet that you go through, you are getting better. It may not feel like it, but you are. If worse comes to worse, go to the hospital, talk to your doctor, be honest with them and what you are going thru, there are things they can give you to help with the WD symptoms, but stay away from the bad drugs they give you that you end up being addicted to those as well.

I know you are right. That is a great story. I just don't have alot of fight left in me. I cant see a rainbow at the end. How long did it take you to get thru the worse?

I already missed work since friday. I don't know how long I can say I have this for. I just lost my insurance. I think I have most home detox drugs frm dr. s clonidine and whatever. They never helped anyway. I'm looking into kratom now but looks like closest place might be over a half hour away. I don't think I can go there. Thank you again!!!

You hang in there until you can try that. For me this made the difference, looking at all the people that have said the same thing on youtube, in chat forums, etc. will let you know that this herb really works,
Stay strong, okay?

Eat a little something before you take it, and then eat a little right after.
Good luck!

You all guys trying to gett of methadone,vicodin,whatever the drug is called and I admire that.But why are u going cold turkey?? If u wanna get of you f**** drug then do it right. Go to a clinic and make the detox ! Why Kratom ? the thing is not even enough exploited,informed,tested and so on...this is just another way to get easier off your drug habit. In my life with drugs i learned to stay always who u are. Your Ego,you must have always yourself,YOUR I ! Never go to far,so that others piss at you while u totaly wasted and lying in some street. I know,it's hard to control yourself when u r an addict,but with years comes experience.I am 30 now,and I know what leads to that and so on. I tryied 2 times to gett of methadone,I was in a decent rehab clinic but i never went to the detox section where they are taking your methadone from your body.your skin,your bones..and if u methadone negative they put u on suboxon. They wanna put all addicts on suboxon so they make money ! Why doesent they let the patient go home when he's clean on methadon ! He's a free man !!! He's on nothing !!! But NO...they had to put him back on another drug! f**** politic!

I made my choice,my choice is methadone for life so i can function normal as a person,have a job and get married :)
