The first 2 weeks were the hardest for me. I couldnt get past 1 week, so congrats!
But it gets better little by little.
Just don't give up. You don't want to have to go through the first few weeks again!
My addiction counselor told me to eat sweets, a big piece of cake. Most people don't want to drink after cake. Just a thought. Can you make a plan to distract yourself during the "witching" hours?
After you push through, you'll be so much happier tomorrow.

Hello everyone!
OK here's what I'm going through! I've been addicted to opiates and Valium for about 10 years. I started out on oxycontin 40s 3 a day. Then went straight to the 80s. That went on for 7 years then I got help FROM myself and went down to 90 percocet a month plus 90 Valium. I take them then run out and start hurting so I go buy Roxie. I DON'T know how to stop. I have anxiety and real pain FROM accidents. I need to stop. I want to stop but how? I can't get up or energy without them. But I feel as if I'm in hell! If this keeps up I DON'T want to live through this. I won't hurt myself but anyone have advice for me. I'm a mess. THANKS

welcome jhecht4! definitely go start a thread so everyone can see your post. welcome to SR! i don't have any experience with pills but there will be some people viewing the Newcomers Threads who can help you.
lilgolden, i hear ya, hon. my first 2 weeks were my hardest. i t was horrible breaking out of that cycle i had myself in and then actually FEELING things again. freaking emotions and all that! it gets better, it really does. and every time you make it through a day like this, you get to give yourself another mark in the you vs. alcohol tally sheet. making it through days like this gives you the experience you need to learn from so that when another rough day comes around, you know you can beat it too. today, you even learned that you can come here and vent so you've got that as well!!! 2 weeks is awesome! you are a tough chick and i know you can make it. keep up the good work!
