Hello I am on my first day of being off pills and could use some advice/support.

Hi there... welcome.

I'm not really deeply familiar with pills per se - though I did get pretty deep into X for a few years, alongside other drugs and alcohol, so while I may not totally understand the specifics of your situation I can sure empathize with being just a few days clean.

This is a great place for support, insight, education and growth. Do you have in-person support and / or medical assistance?

Welcome to the forum Tricitygirl!

The support here, reading and posting, is so valuable. Along with the Newcomers forum there is also Substance Abuse forum that you might find helpful.

No matter what, you are among friends and those who are on the journey as well and 'get it'.

Welcome! You can do it.

Tricitygirl, do you have a plan for the upcoming days? I found that creating the most supportive environment possible was really important. Here is a little video that was posted on SR a while back that tells the story of addiction well:

No I don't really have a plan I just know if I don't stop this is going to ruin my marriage and my life!!! So I have decided I need to and have to quit!!!

I was hooked on ativan for a long time. Pills suck to come off of. Toughest time I have had coming off of anything really. However, I think that lead to me abusing alcohol... good luck to you.

The withdrawals are just beginning and I know they are just going to get worse this is when I feel the weakest like the only thing that will help is more pills even though I know that's not true!!!

How are you feeling now triitygirl? I know this is tough but you can do this. Remember if you return to the pills you will have to go through this all over again. This can be the last time if you fight through it.
Have you checked out liberty's threads? He is going through exactly the same thing you are, right now.
