Day 4 and still no VICODIN
Day 4 of no vicodine, I am beginning to feel alive. Yesterday, I actually got into my car and drove to a friends without freaking out (big accomplishment for me) I am not neausous due to so many pills and the headachs are gone. I even told my mother last night, it is amazing how I thought no one knew but yet everyone did. I have a follow up with my doctor soon and I have to tell him NO MORE PILLS. That is just fine with me.
And beleive me If I can do this anyone can, I swear I am the worst baby. If anyone here feels they caint do this or its to hard they must know that after a few days you'll feel better about youself than you had for a very long time. Because you have accomplished a high goal for yourself. You just have to want it. Whats more important, living a full life or dieing at a young age. I chose life.

Hi Debby,
That's great news. Keep up the good work and keep posting. You're right about choosing life. Because even though I was breathing in active addiction, I sure as hell wasn't living!

Herbs!!!
Valerien is good to calm down
Hops is great to calm down
Ginsing has a natural energy (unless you have high blood pressure)
Melatonin & Valerien are good for sleep
You can ask your pharmasist what is good for you, they have so many herbal blends that have the word calm in it that has most of the ingredients For example "Calm Forte"
I wish you luck this helped me, but I still have to deal with cravings now and it is getting hard to say no, but I am determined

Just wondering how you're doing! I have been off vicodin for a about a week and a half now...I miss how it helped me sleep (i.e. knocked me out), but that is about the only thing I miss!!! Once I was threatened with hospitalization by both my medical doctor and therapist, I figured it'd be best if I actually work on freeing myself from the addiction. So anyway, how have you been doing as of late?
