Positive Help and advice: getting off Heroin in the UK

My gf is now suggested I give up everything while I'm at it this means:
Booze
Nicotine
Occasional charley and speed
Mdma rately
Shrooms
Cannabis

A bit much it seems
 
Day five
Most aches have gone and the crazy leg and limb restlessness
Slept fair last night.
1st day working
Feeling pretty low and listless
How long before normalcy resumes?
 
Day 6
Toughest day yet due to full on work meetings etc.
Decided to cycle aiming to produce natural endorphins. Worked to a degree until I fell off the bike
No aches but tot@llly weak limbed and dozy. Lots of sneezing and very tired.
Bought some immodium and took8mg. Didn't notice any effect.
All I'm up for is hot radox both and lying down.

How much longer till normal functioning?

PS been using tamazepan to aid sleep though now fear habituation so will lay off tonight. Camomile perhaps?
 
Your good mate. won’t be long now
drink those electrolyte sports drinks I told u about.
Hot baths were all that helped my aches.
Try valerian root sleep aid, I found it helped
 
That's reassuring. Thanks!
Will source valerian tomorrow. Camammille today
You're right about the baths. Radox is miraculous and makes me sleepy :)
 
Day 7
No aches or stomach issues
Just real fatigue. And much sneezing

Again another bike ride to build up natural endorphins. Picked up valerian and electrolyte drinks which help
Struggle to focus on work needed brain power

Though seems easier daily
 
Day 8
Easier though energy less and lethargic poor focus on work stuff
Lacking some moho

Also paranoid that my earlier enjoyable normalcy will be tainted by this experience and all elements involved

Still only day 8. Takes 10 for normalcy touchdown 😉
 
Nothing will be tainted mate, just takes time.
You did well. I was expecting to come and read how you have fucked up and started using again.
 
Bridge's burned.

Relationship
Work quality
Joi de vivre

Will keep me off opiates
Was fun escapist warm and almost removing reality subtly
Attractive clearly

The other things to me now outweigh fluffy heroin hi
 
Day 10
Sleeping fine with help of whiskey nightcap and valerian. Other symptoms gone...

Apart from afternoon zonkedness, lack of energy making walking up stairs a slight struggle

Been drinking electrolytes trying B12 pills. But still lacking energy.

Is this still part of the WD process and will return in due time?

Any other ideas to stave of this thing or just more time needed.

Still no interest to revisit opiates at all. (have thought about charley or speed for the energy thing which Ive always used sporadically though may not be a good solution atm🤔😁)

As ever any advice received with much gratitude. People's input on here have turned thing round for me)
 
Yes it’s all still part of the wds.
u will get better each day but there will prob be ups and downs. Might feel good one day and think it’s over then next day fucked again. No big deal though.
sounds like your doing everything u can.
 
BTW if anyone can be arsed to explain or link to me an explanation of the science/chemistry behind underpinning what's happening to my body and mind that would be so helpful to me (and others who may get inspiration from this experience)

Like it's been 10 days clean of H and yet still up and down. Let's bust some myths :)
 
Day 12 and doing great well almost. Still tired but less so and working better

Only thing.I've developed an addiction to Radox muscle soak baths

Not tried snorting radox yet probably won't.
So now 14 days free and gf reports on improved mojo
Good to be back and big Big lessons learnt. Especially on the value of support here and off line. (no pun).

Thanks all keep well and strong
 
Day 20
Feeling fine. Best day yet.
So still radox bathing
Riding my bike further each day
Back focused at work
And the new recovery discovery is tyrosine, both as a supplement and in diet (almonds avocado chicken pumpkin seeds)

No fatigue almost today and huge uplift in mood

And the first sneaky wank in a year - (tmi... Soz)
