Day 8 ct heroin detox....yet again

[Troublemaker13]

Finally through another tough detox and yesterday all I wanted was to get high. Wtf man..... It's been such a terrible dream this opiate ride last couple years. From surgery to a needle in my arm. Keep getting 6-10 days then going back. I'm petrified in gonna need rehab so I'm doing everything I can. Meetings, therapy, etc. I'm sleeping 6+ hours. A little achy but not too bad. I worked and took care of the family during detox and like always it was tough. I'm
8 days opiate free and want this to be my last journey. .....

This is so amazing tm congratulations!!!! You should be proud of yourself. It doesn't matter how many times you have relapsed around this point in the past, every time you kick and make it any time at all is a HUGE accomplishment!

And you're in luck, because you don't HAVE to kick again, this CAN be your last time! I'm so happy to see that you are doing meetings and therapy. And that you are already sleep 6+ hours per night, thats huge!!! Even when I kick with suboxone I don't get more then 3/4 hours a night for weeks, let alone cold turkey! You're doing so well, really!!!

Keep up with the meetings and therapy. Meetings everyday for a while if possible. Really try to immerse yourself and meet other people who are sober and doing well. It really helps to stay motivated when you are surrounded by others who have done it. Exercise and healthy diet will be the biggest factors in how quickly you start to feel good physically.

Keep up the great work and stay positive and motivated! You're doing so well, so don't forget to take a minute sometimes and recognize how fucking awesome you are!

this could be your last journey.
ok,you're sleeping,but are you eating and drinking water?
you need those two things too.

if you have meetings and a therapist you're already ahead.
you just need to utilize these services so you gain maximum.

8days….it's still gonna hurt.it's not in any way "over".
don't think you're cured in a week.
that's how OD's and bad shit happens.

8days is a major accomplishment and you have every right to feel proud about yourself.
I couldnt string 2 days together when I started AA.

you will be ok.
many have survived heroin addiction too.
but many don't and the sooner you STOP you'll b cool.
