The days of half a gram of Oxy are behind me and more the exception than the rule but haven't been able to nod on the stuff for ages. Sounds like You are putting some work in, Good for you gm. Establishing a harmonious balance between "the mind wants what the mind wants" and "being sick and tired of being sick and tired" is just so dam difficult.

Today is day 29 without any opiates. I had to quit, via, a fast cold turkey, Dec 21, 2016. I thought someone decades ago stated, the
1st 5 days are the worst, then one is homefree. Not True. The PAWS are severe, and, I crave my simple once a day Oxy pill 1/2 dozen
times per day.
I also got sick in the USVI (St. John) in December before I ran out of opiates. Ruined the trip for me. DX: Gastroenteritis. My PCP has
be scheduled for my 4th Colonoscopy, along with my 1st Endoscopy, due, to persistent lower GI tract continuous problems, lack of
appetite, and significant fatigue. I made my condition worse due to my laxative dependence. I am cold turkeying also, "Miralax" and
Senokot (senna concentrate pills) and have switched to "FiberCon and back to Metamucil daily". I already have a DX of Diverticulosis
Disease, and constipation, enhanced by extreme fatigue. M.D.'s are searching for Cancer, already have DX of Diverticular Disease.
Operation date Jan 26, 2017.

I have come to relinquish all of my money to my wife when I get close to running out otherwise I would have made a trip to the ghetto already and it is just day one. Somehow it seems to help a bit knowing that I'm out and have no way to reup. We will see how the next week goes.

I have been back on oxy for about 6 or 7 months now. Before that I was able to quit the oxy for about 5 months but I don't take it just to get high, I am also treating pain. In that 5 months I discovered that it's hard work to control chronic pain with non narcotics but it can be done. PAWS can be severe for sure but with a little support and a lot of deep breaths you can beat it.

My main oxy dealer was a quasi friend from high school and after he got hooked on his own supply he blew his brains all over his bedroom wall with a brand new 40 cal pistol. I purposely never went seeking it out after that although a dealer spammed BL with a cell number that had the area code 5 miles from mine and a list of goodies. Still haven't called but I have a saved screenshot buried in my files that I think about often. Such a lovely habit.
 
It's ok, it's part of the process. Just because you took some in a moment doesn't mean you have to take some again. Don't beat yourself up over it. Seriously, forgive yourself and take a breath and step back up to the plate.
 
At least you killed your tolerance and can stabilize on a lower dose for awhile. 250mg is a huge cliff to jump off of without any tapering and 4 days is still an impressive achievement. If you can stay at a reduced dose and continue dropping again after "healing up" for a bit all is not lost. As long as you don't drift back up your headed in the right direction. Hope you get something to eat and some good rest tonight.
 
Thanks guys, assuming your are both male! I should be sleeping by now but I can't...grrr Can you explain what you mean Jekyl about killing my tolerance? My goal is to finish whats left and never look back. Even tough it will be hard. Cause as you all know, its fucking insanly tough on the body and the mind.

Am I reading correcly? a dealer put his number on BL? Hows tha event possible or even admitted? And your thinking about ringing? WTF dude...
 
I wouldn't be so quick to judge. If you hadn't had any oxy laying around today you may have considered it yourself.
 
It was a list of medical grade cannabis, a list of different pills, benzodiazepines,meth,coke and heroin with a phone number and email address out of Los Angeles. They dropped 13 copies of same post in 6 sub forums in a matter of minutes. They were trying to pick up customers and not looking to share advice or seek help. But the mods ban the IP address and clean up the mess. And Quick God Bless em..

I wouldn't worry to much about what my cranky ass has to say.

So it's day two for me. Had a very difficult time getting out of bed. 5am start sucks for the first few days. My brain now seems to be fully aware of the fact that it's beloved drug is not being ingested. Woke up last night with a horrible headache.

This should be a new thread - WITHDRAWAL REGIMEN - 20 grams of some fine quality meang da, 400mg of ibuprofen and 4mg of loperamide. Tonight will be another 10grams of kratom and .5 Xanax.

Going to try like hell not to buy any oxy until a few days before my appointment.

I'm actually doing very well. I walked around with over $200 in my pocket today and only considered buying drugs for just a few minutes then it passed. Adding the Xanax to my regimen has helped way more than I thought. I took .5 at 12 then came home and took .5 plus 10 grams kratom and I'm not craving to bad and have zero physical withdrawals today. Hopefully this will continue though out the withdrawal process. I'm now 13 days until I get my refill and start this process all over again.

I know what you mean about taking everything you have. I do the exact same thing without fail. I don't even fight myself over it anymore.
