Hang in there Pickleman...this will surely be the hardest part. You got this! You da man!

PickleMan

I took a couple seroquel so hopefully that helps a little bit

Hope things settle soon for you- the first week is the hardest

Ooooh I have had RLS for years ... so I can totally relate. Thanks for the tip about Bananas Dee. It is so good PickleMan that you are pushing through your hell of a night ..... you know you will be so pleased when you get through it .....

PickleMan

Yeah it absolutely sucked.. I was all over the house, in and out of the bathtub until about 6am when my body finally just shut down and let me sleep for a bit. I still woke up about every 45 minutes but it was much better than rolling around on the couch

Today's been better so far, I have been able to take it easy and clean the house a little bit, but I know tonight will probably see the body twitches slide back in. I have always seemed to get my symptoms more at night

Hopefully completely in the clear come Monday, then it just comes to sticking to a recovery program at that point

PickleMan

My plans for tonight in recovery are to a) work on my 2nd step, really spend some time thinking about my higher power and how I personally define it and b) starting the next chapter of my BB

Congratulations on recognizing that you needed to make a change in your plan this time around and for involving your significant other on your journey. Support is so important. Good luck this time around!

Thanks, this time is it!

I dont ever want to go through any of this again. I am getting too old and have other aspects of my life that are much more important for me.

We will soon see how bad of a night I am in for on night 3-4 of this whole process.

Well done on sticking at it, you can do this! I'm on day 4 now too

PickleMan

How are things going for you in terms of w/d's?

I am thinking I might actually be alright tonight.. I dont seem super fidgety yet although I have been keeping my mind occupied with games

VikingGF

Good for you, PickleMan. Glad to see you here and sticking it out. The days to come will be better, better and better.

I've had some fake hangovers which is weird! And cannot sleep. And sleep is precious in our house lol. So tiredness is the worst thing I think I got off lightly this time. Last time when I did 8 days I got the sweats really bad and felt rough. Well done for keeping your mind occupied. I'm finding that reading is helping but I only get chance at night. Currently reading 'drinking a love story'

PickleMan

Yeah. I am fortunate that the boy is with his grandma, it isnt very fair to him when I am detoxing, he is sick with the flu, and we're both just not feeling like dealing with any kind of bull

I got the BB on audio e-book so I am going to listen to that here in a little bit

MavisTheFairy13

I just googled withdrawal for what you were using and it said the worst is the first 48-72 hours so you might be on the home stretch now! You've done amazingly to get to this point you should be really proud

PickleMan

Whelp, more than half way through Day 5 and I got to say, I am surprised that I am finally starting to feel back to normal

My goals for today are to a) not to use and b) 2nd chapter of my BB
