Aplum -
It'll end. The frustrating part is that it will end on its own timeframe - not ours. The waiting for it to end is almost the worst part. Especially around day 4 for me. What day are you on now?
Just know now that the pain is your body healing - I know it doesn't feel good, but healing rarely does until the end product. It helps me mentally when I'm laying in bed in agony at 2:30 a.m. while the whole fucking world is sleeping their non-addicted little heads off, to know that at least the pain is FOR something. It's for a healthy mind/body/life. And the damage has been done, so the healing is inevitable - it's now or its later after more damage is done.
Also, just know any thought you have that encourages going back to the opiates is just your addiction talking. Just remind yourself what the goal is - abstinence from opiates so that you can live a productive life without them (hopefully I'm not assuming too much there). The only thing that can derail you from that is the opiate itself.
It may help to start your own thread so you can document how your process go - and tell us why you are quitting. That way you have something to refer back to when times get tough? Just a thought.
Best set if luck Plum. I'm with you all the way!!!

Hey Plum!
its day 4 today, right? Day 4 for me is always the worst. Push through and I think you will feel better soon!
what are you doing for support at home or to keep yourself occupied?

6 years on 1/7/17! Still so grateful!
Hang in there aplumgirl. Sleep and the lack of it was always one of the most difficult symptoms to stomach for me. I felt as though it was so unfair that i wasn't able to achieve those 8 or so hours of dreamy nothingness my SO at the time was enjoying(we detoxed together). Hopefully you can get some rest this evening. ❤
^ In my experience, if you are at day five, you will turn a corner very soon. I've been where you are at three times in the last year - every single time, I was asking myself the same thing at day five. I know it sounds cheesy - but, as they say, don't give up right before the miracle happens.
Hang in there plum. I was right where you are at just 4 days ago, and it does get better.

Lord have mercy! I'm clinging to hope and sheer iron will. I truly truly appreciate your kind words! You have my highest esteem if you've done this he'll 3 xs in a year! How strong you are!
stay strong plum girl
VE,
What day are you on now? Are you still having any symptoms?
I too am a chronic pain pt, which is my height of anxiety, what if the pain is TOO bad?. Today anxiety and RLS are the worst things. I'm much better today truly, just holding steady.
Good luck during your time of sobriety. Keep at it, who wants to go through this he'll again? Not me!
