Day 1 of Hell

That works. ;)
Also I find looking down the road at where the usage could lead. It is never a good place (well, maybe temporarily) and it helps to curb the appetite (IME). Get ya a swig of lope... it helps and this is kinda nasty for me and helps me to use just enough and put it back.lol
Best wishes.
Not easy or everyone would do it. =D

i honestly don't think there's any way to get through the early days of recovery other than white knuckle. there's a reason we're not capable of just stopping of our own accord and actually following through with our plans to quit. its cos its horrible. your body is taking back everything it gave you under the influence of drugs. but you know it does get easier, you're a few days in now so you should be at or past the peak. though those drawn out days at the end are horrible too cos they just seem to last forever, and i'd often end up drawing them out longer by using too much dhc/codeine/lope/whatever i had during the peak. and then still end up using again at the first available moment, which is why i'm glad you're at your mums and i hope you'll stay there for a bit after the acute phase of your rattle is over.
 
Day 5 now guys. I have to say, I always feel the worst when I wake up. My stomach feels like I'm in labor. I think I need to back up off the weed a little as I believe it's actually causing me to over eat and stretch my stomach. It's a god send for sleep though. I don't usually get achy from withdrawal but my back is killing me too.
 
I would recommend against doing anything that will cause you to eat less, I cant see how you could be stretching your stomach excessively right now, the stomach is designed to be stretched (within reason) and I cant imagine you're eating anywhere near enough to do that.

Its much more likely that your stomach is fucked because it's full of opiate receptors it relies on to function properly that are going haywire due to under stimulation at the moment.

Honestly, the more calories you put in to your body the faster wd will pass. Fail to eat and it will drat out and you'll feel shit and fatigued much longer.
 
I don't have any hard evidence to back what I am saying, just my own experiences, but it seems logical that in a time of physical stress and recovery that your body is going to need energy to go through that process and that the more you give it then potentially the faster it might do that.

Like I say just assumptions but it works for me, detoxes where I haven't eaten properly have stretched on forever. I did one where I got a vomiting bug after about a week and I couldn't keep any fluids let alone food down. I was at the point where I should have been basically ok but I just felt fucked for like a whole other week after the first barely eating because I felt ill and feeling terrible and totally fatigued. I smoked a joint which removed the nausea and I and got the munchies, ate a shit load of food, did the same again in the morning and I was basically fine from there.

I honestly think people underestimate the importance of calories, if you go five days or a week with barely eating anything (like many do when detoxing) then you're going to feel like shit whether you're going through a detox or not. The body needs calories, it can't magic recovery up out of nothing.

I used to get so dope sick when I would be staying clean for a probation drug test I couldn't even make it to the bathroom, my body would just start going with out even letting me know it had to go.

Many apologies, I confused you with another Jess in Oz.

I know right? It's so weird. There's another me. 8o

Clearly not exactly like me though... I'm sure I'd have caved by day 5. If not much earlier.

Well done other Jess! :)

well done!!!! you're doing really well. and yeah, RLS is the thing that would break me every time. i was somehow much less able to ignore it than everything else and it was just relentless.

do you feel up to trying any online meetings etc? you really will need some help to try and make sure you don't end up having to do this again. you've done really well. do you have any insight as to issues lead you to becoming addicted to heroin? it might help you to be able to better identify what help would be appropriate for you in recovery.
