Day 6 opiate withdrawal feeling much better
Hey guys,
I have been addicted to opiates since 2014. Today for the first time since then, I am 6 days sober and honestly...the first 3 days were pretty miserable. Howerever day 4 5 and now starting day 6 are completely manageable. I got approx 8 hrs of sleep last night. Restless legs are pretty much gone. Still get that tingly feelong every so often. But hey. Making progress. You can do it! I have feared this for 3 years and im telling you...you CAN do this. No its not mind over matter as far as just get over it..it doesnt happen that easy. Just take one moment at a time and know that you will make it through the worst part. Occupy your mind. Im going to the gym this evening to see what I can accomplish even if its 10 minutes of light exercise. Boost these endorphins my body needs. I am somewhat eating normal. The diarrhea has subsided and the chills have vanished almost completely. This is nothing compared to the firat 3 days. Now its just mental. I do think about hey if i could just take one id feel fine. But seriously. One dang pill control me again!!?? No!! Not going to happen. Hang tight. I'll post again tomorrow. God bless and God speed to those in need of support through thjs tough time. You've got this!

Keep posting Soberd!! Let us know how you are doing......
