Just wanted to say, hello!!! So inspiring to read about everyone's success. I'm going to enjoy a beautiful day hiking with my loves of my lives. The stress and problems I'm having can wait for another day. Today is not it. ❤️
 
Day 2 complete. I made it through. I couldn't eat day one. I was able to hold something today. The funny thing is it seems to blow right through, and not to be gross ive crapped more in 2 days than I did the whole month of November. Some people pay for a colon cleanse.... pretty much comes free with opiate detox. I guess that's a good thing. I don't have access to any benzos so sleep is tough. I haven't did imoudium or the other OTC remedies, but I did the vitamin b complex, l-tyrosine, and tossed in some valarine root for rest tonight. I dosed at recomended levels. I can't say that the vitamins helped but the way my diet is it couldn't hurt. Plus going to get them occupied my mind. Tomorrow im going to try some ibuprofen and Tylenol for my aching joints and legs. I googled the dose levels and found the recomended amount for someone with arthritis. I figured if it helps someone with RA it would ease this pain a bit. Im thankful for this day. Day 3 coming up.
 
j_rod, what you described sounds like a difficult yet necessary time period. Only through these struggles you will achieve your goal. As you can clearly tell, breaking out of the negative cycle is challenging but staying in the loop will ruin your mind and body. You have to allow your courage and determination to guide you towards good health and unfortunately this is a long process. Your mind must help your body understand that this rough transitional period will end; if you are dedicated to this day-by-day process then you can build a strong mindset to break away from your vices and most importantly stay away in the future.

It is almost guaranteed that you will be better within a week so keep up the good work and the updates.

Thanks for the link.. do you have another one where I can reference the terminology as I don't know a whole bunch of what they are talking about space so im going to need to do a little reference and studying.

The Ālayavijñāna is the seat of consciousness where the "turning-about" allegedly occurs.

"Enlightenment," "Satori" and "Kensho" are the common terms for its unfolding.


Day 15!

And you better believe those last days have been tough, PAWS were almost killing me.

Day 110 for me :)

210 days!

Day 2 complete.

Day 111 for me :)

Is it just me or is this month dragging? :\

10 days.

Way to go Everybody! Great work! :)
 
Im into the third day... and im doing well. The physical misery hit me hard last night. I kicked and tossed like a mad two year old. Sleep was scarce. I'm at work now and they sent me to demolition out a floor. This is a trial and I feel like am being physically beaten with every move. I hope the workout on this job will help me sleep tonight. I hope those who have to work while going through this stay strong. My thoughts are with you.. We will get through.
 
Thank you NSA. ... im crawling through. I keep telling myself its the drugs that caused this. Relief is temporary and the light is around the corner.
 
Its actually really good IMO that you have an active job.. may not feel like that for a little while.. but my fatigue and soreness held on for a while but got remarkably better faster when I got a physical job. Your doing great!!!! have you taken a little time to give yourself some credit for the monumental push so far. The addciction often times gets really pissy at the end.. cause it gets scared,.. because it knows your here to kill it... If it gets bad at the end... Howl like A banshee and let it know it doesn't have a fucking prayer:!<3

Totally agree. It's definitely strange that everytime I start succeeding, I begin to crave like a mofo
 
Day 19 :) glad to see people putting up big numbers.
Doing well lately because I've been busy. Working 12 hours most days and today my family has a virus so they are keeping me hopping. No chance to think about craving.
 
I've decided that I'm going to substitute one kind of dope for another. In this case, whole garlics.

Yep! I told myself, hey, man, you been craving getting really horny, heart racing, sweat trickling down your face? Get a mad rush that makes your eyes pop, and have to sit down because if you don't you might pass out?

Figured it's healthy, and I can fixate on something else for a change.

My poor girlfriend is going to hate this.
 
Day three complete. Thanks for all the encouragement this afternoon more than helped. I felt like I wasn't facing this alone. I looking forward to day 4. This is the one that I've failed on so many times. I have to cross the 4 day bridge I want to make it this time.
