Hey all. Well, for those of you following my other post/thread you know my story. If you are new- the long and short is I was clean for over a week after years and years of use. I had gotten through the worst of the withdrawals. Then I got injured and have been on pain pills for about a month now. Early this morning I took my last half of a pill and am getting ready to detox. Hoping for a more gentle experience this time since I was careful on my dosage. My mom was my medicine dispenser. But the drugs this time were oxy not percos and I don't know if that will play a role. I was on percos most of the time but have not had one for over a week, I needed something stronger when I started walking again on my repaired leg so I got oxys for the last week. The first day it was 60mg a day; then I immediately began to taper because that was too much even for my system. This morning my last dose was half a pill, so about five or so mg. It was almost 12 hours ago so pretty sure it is done helping me with the pain and I can manage.
Got water, biofreeze (ben-gay kind of stuff), orange juice, movies....ready to do this again!! So surprised that I did what I should have done but still having withdrawals. Tells you how wicked this stuff can be! -------------------- If you pray to God for rain, don't you complain about the lightening; If you're asking for directions, don't you moan about the distance. -Cloud Cult | ||

Prepping for my first needed hot shower but not crawling into the tub like before! And the sneezing is hitting (took a few days last time)! Bless all of you out there for giving me this place to share!

thanks guys...at least I can sit back and know this pain is necessary as I actually needed the pills this time!!! Different mind set; but makes me so much more careful in all I do - use to be a bit wild and reckless. No more! And a huge shout out to my mom for her visits every four to six hours to bring me one little pill...lol...we laughed every time but knew how important it was. She hammed it up, playing mommy!! Shower was good and not feeling too awful. I think boredom is going to be a struggle - gonna have to make a plan!! Not boredom to use but to not be sitting focused on the aches and pains!
