Why not now?
I am on day 7, clean and sober, off of my oxycodones. I choose to cold turkey and come back into recovery before my doctor made the choice for me.
Yes, It was hard the first several days, as I am no spring chicken, but my grown children spent 4 hours with me this afternoon.... first time in about a year, as, before this detox, all I wanted to stay in my bedroom and chew my pills, and zone out in front of the tv. I am already beginning to live life! I am also scared... I return to work tomorrow after this week in my own home grown detox center. By the way, gratitude has really helped me... I am so grateful I detoxed with plenty of Gatorade, Immodium, and a soft warm bed instead of a cold jail cell or in a sterile hospital or detox center with other people around.
You will be glad you are starting this journey.... I certainly am!
Peace,
M.
