I was here before and I was wd from opiates...Any and everyone you can name...I never wanted to go through the wd soo I just kept buying the pills...So a while back when I was going through wd I found my way here, but that wd didn't work. People called having pills and I was sooo sick of feeling sooo sick that I weant back to them...I could kill myself for that one!!.....Now I am trying all over again...prob the millionth time!!!! This time I was wise enough to know I couldn't do it alone. I am going through a detox program at home....Three days worth of Buprenorphine..Then cloadine and bacolfin for three day after the shots if needed. I wanted to be off drugs the first time I was here, but I should have known the wd was too much to take. I mean I had been in wd sooo many times and I could never deal with it before. Soo anyway to make a long story short I took first shot like 45 mins ago and I dont have the wd anymore... I just want to cry I am soo happy I am doing this!!! I have wanted it for forever....Now its time to face my life without the pills....

Withdrawals are very hard and I am still in the withdrawal period again. The thing about the withdrawals that I have noticed, much of it depends on our mind sets. If we are truly willing to work the program, then it works! If we have reservations then it doesn't work. I am now about 5 or 6 days off of crack/coke, and ICE. I am still withdrawing I am sure. I am not even really sure what to look for, but I know that in time all will be well unless I choose to pick up.

I know that they said there is medication to help you with the cravings. I have also noticed that if I don't feed the cravings then they won't stay around and I can usually work through them. Everything changes and so do we, the withdrawals I believe will only be as hard as we want or don't want them to be. Hope that you will be well and welcome.

Love Vic

Yes your right when your mindset is bad you feel alot worse then you actually are, but opiate wd is some tough stuff!!! I have never been through any other drug wd soo I don't know what they are like. I am have a great mind set this time around...of course meds are helping, but I needed that, bc I said before CT was just TOO HARD!! Thanks for responding...we all need to hang in there no matter what the poison.

Good to see you, Mandie. You sound really committed and I am proud of you for doing this deal again. And you know what? You never, ever, ever have to do it again. You don't need to use ever again - even if you want to. Man, what a relief that was for me to know. And there have been bad days and hard days, but I don't have to pick up. It does get better!

Keep posting your progress. We're here with help and support, k?
