| self detox
tommorrow i am going to begin a self heroin detox. the only reason I am doing this on my own is because I do not have insurance to get into a hospital and the rehabs that take people with no money in my area have waiting lists a month long. Plus I have to get off right now. My life is a mess, the money is gone but I have still not completely ruined my life and know that if I continue I will. I have Xanax, Soma, Elevil, Lexapro, Naproxen and Tylenol PM. to help ease the withdrawals. However I ran out of drugs for one day about 2 weeks ago and within 24 hours the withdrawals were horrendous. Goose bumps, labored breathing, sweatsd and then cold chills, no sleep at all, a horrible sense of smell and taste and uncontrollable sneezing. I thought I was going to die. However I had not committed to kicking nor did I take my medication to ease off. Again If I could get into a rehab center I would go but I have no choice to do this myself. I want off this horrible cycle of opiates so bad and am not in denial that I am a drug addict. If I can only get through the withdrawals I have AA groups nearby, several recovery books and know the 12 step program in and out. Can anybody tell me how long the withdrawals will last and is it possible for me to do this on my own? Any thoughts or comments are welcome. Please help me.
