Idk where everyone is today. Hope you are well. It's 27 hours in now and this morning I'll admit hasn't been easy. Just came home for lunch to see my mom and we prayed together. It's easing up I think. Chest pains were getting bad. Haven't taken those 2 pills. Yay! Trying to beat this with the help of mom and God and this forum but you guys are quiet this morning.

Thanks maple! But I did finally break down around the 29th hr and take a ten. Then I told my 17 year old son and he is amazing! I want him to know what these things an do first hand. He goes for surgery in 12 days and I worry. Anyway, then I told my fiancé who has no idea what to do but he's trying. He calls to check on me while he's working and sends "I love you" messages. Then I got off of work and went to rite aid. Bought 4 bottle of urban detox, 100 immodium because ppl sware that there's something in it called loperamide that's a non addictive opiate that doesn't affect the brain but completely stops withdrawls symptoms if taken in large doses like 20 pills. Also lavender Epsom salt. Now I'm in my favorite chair on the porch just feeling the breeze. The worst part for me is the anxiety so I plan on staying completely stoned out of mi d on pot. Hopefully that will take care of sleep. I do t smoke pot because I hate it but it may just work. Sleep aids always make my legs and arms worse. My mom has klonopin and 150 trazadone in there but I won't touch it. Hate it. So guess its pot. Anyway just wanted to check in. How's is everyone?

It sounds like you are doing pretty well tonight. That's fantastic! I think you are right about just knowing you have some in case you need them. I always freak out the most when I know I'm going to run out and can't get more. I think a lot of these "symptoms" are in my head. That's ok that you took one today. No one said you have to quit all at once. I envy your strength. You are so brave to tell your family and fiance. I don't know if I will ever be able to do that , even though I know it would help in the long run. You are getting through the worst of it right now so keep on going. I found in the past that the first 3 days are the worst. It should get easier after that. But who am I? I haven't quit after hundreds of attempts. You are really inspiring me to try harder though. If you could, please say a prayer for me too.

I also agree that pot is a good idea. I can't smoke and function like a normal person but before bed its great. It eases my mind and helps me sleep too. I'm definately going to try the stuff you got from the pharmacy. I will try just about anything, except other rx drugs. I'm sorry your son is having surgery. If you are there to monitor him, then he should be fine. I am praying for you and your family.

Hi guys,
So sorry for the no show earlier. I am a foster parent for a downs syndrome lady and her prom was tonight. This is the first time I have put the computer on all day. GREAT JOB Supportof4!! I wish my day was as good as yours. I did the same sh*t again, every couple of hours, popped a 1/2. They don't even do anything for me anymore, I do it to take the withdrawal symptoms away, really STUPID. I need prayers too and I do not pray enough. I just wish this was over. I will try again tomorrow. It is all I can do, I will run out before the 20th for absolute sure. I can't afford to buy them on the street so, I don't know....again, I am sorry for not getting on here earlier.

Hi guys! I want you all to know that when mom and I prayed yesterday and whenever I pray it's for us all! I've told her some of your stories too and she's very familiar with addiction. My older brother was addicted to EVERYTHING! He did 7 years when he was 20 and is now serving 5 life sentences because of that addiction. I stuck with one ten I took yesterday and haven't taken anymore. 22 hours. So little time feels like an eternity. Spent the night with my fiancé. Change of scenery at least. Smoked a lot an finally slept around one am. Got up and took all my vitamins. So many pills just to quit one. Kinda crazy. How is everyone else doing?

Hey! Thanks so much for your prayers! Glad you are hanging in there. I have a 14 hour work day ahead of me and no pills. Talk about time not moving! Wish me luck! Super busy.

On the porch now with my 1 and 2 year olds playing in the yard. 30 hours without a single pill. I've spent my day trying to concentrate on their laughs and smiles, trying to laugh and smile with them. It's odd that a big part of my body feels calm because my mind is racing too fast for me to keep up. Since my last pill (a 10) I haven't had a single hard symptom. I want to share the "big secret" with you all but truly I don't know what's going on. I wonder if it's the immodium I'm taking, 20 2 mg pills around 10 am this morning, or the vitamins, or that I've been smoking pot at night, or maybe just god. Idk. But whatever it is that's working so far I thank god! I NEVER want to take another pill again! I haven't had any caffeine in idk 4 or 5 days. I'm sure that's helping some. I am tired don't get me wrong but I don't have that, "how the hell will I take my next step" feeling. Shaking just a tiny bit but just like when you have one too many cups of coffee not like you can barely hold a cig. Honestly I just think its god but if anyone wants to know what I've done or taken over the past 6 days I'm happy to share. I still feel like I'm not out of the woods until my last pill was taken at least 7 days ago and then there's still the mental but after the way I was feeling I am soooo grateful for this peace. Prayers going out.

I didn't sleep well. Was up at 4 am. Woke again around 8 and feeling pretty rough. My stomach feels ripped to shreds. Not feeling well at all. 45 hours behind me.

48 hours down and a lifetime to go. Feeling rough but so far the symptoms I hate the most have stayed at bay. RLS AND ANXIETY. How is everyone else? Mable?

Hello! I tried to get here earlier but my internet wasn't working. I'm so sorry you are not feeling well today. But every minute that goes by brings you closer to being free. I hope that you get more sleep tonight. RLS is the worst for me too. I made it through my super long work days without too much trouble. I had my trusty kratom with me. I'm so exhausted, sleep shouldn't be an issue. I'm pretty sure this isn't a total attempt at quitting though. I haven't mentally prepared myself and this time I would like to prepare my body as well. Vitamins and such like you have done. I wish I had some advice to make you feel better but clearly I'm no wiser since I haven't been able to quit after many tries. But it sounds like you have the strength and determination to keep going. Best of luck. Just come here if you need to talk. I will be back often. I am praying for you.
