Heroin home detox

[Jellymelly]

Hey guys

I'm soon to start my heroin detox. I started partying recreationally and before I knew it I was hooked on an opiate - and to be honest I didn't even know wtf I was taking. I thought it was just a party drugs.I was smoking fentanyl for 4 months - went through the withdrawals which were fkn hell, like nothing I've experience, and jumped on oxys after 4 weeks because I still couldn't eat or drink or move. Lost just shy of 25kg during that time. From Oxys I moved on to heroin. Been smoking about a gram a day for another 3 months and each time I've tried to get off it's he fkn sweating and chills that get me. I haven't been able to go past 1 day.
ATM I'm just preparing the house, food and clothes. I have my stepson tomorrow and day after, so the day after I will have a smoke in the morning - will start WD just after my stepson gets picked up.

Stomach cramps kick in pretty bad but to be honest I've experienced worse period pain so I know I can handle it.

It's the sweating and fatigue that absolutely kills me.

Can anyone possibly give me an outline of what to expect on the first couple of days? Also, please what can I do for the sweating? I wake up and my bed is literally soaked.

I'm Getting married in November and the last thing I was is to be an addict on my wedding day.

Any help would be beyond appreciated

Thank you.

I'm scared shitless to be honest. I wish I had enough Xanax to knock me the f out for it. I fkn hate this drug. It's putrid.
Any recommendations of the sweating?

Hey I don't think you can stop the sweating completely. You.are going to sweat big time. If you have a fan maybe that will help on high setting directly at you. Otherwise I would keep a towel nearby. I haven't read or found a remedy to stop the sweating, You could always search for a remedy and see what's out there. So let the impurities sweat out and I wish you the best. Hang in there!

It's just one of those "suck it up" moments isn't it? Ahhhh not looking forward to it. It's Sunday night and I believe I'll be having my last smoke tomorrow night. And then let the hell begin.

I'll keep you guys updated if you want. Fingers crossed I get through coz I'm so sick of this shit. I want my life and my energy back. Once I go through it then my other half will - that way we can look after each other. He won't do anything in the house, so as not to tempt me, either way he'll say no. So this week is my hell week and next week will be his.

Also, I can't have a fan on me because even though I sweat, I'm freezing cold ?

just put a layer of towels on your bed and then have another layer as a blanket, also keep a fresh one for wandering round the house.
that's what i did, and yeah hot and cvold sweats make fans a no-go

Feel like this is a good a spot as any for my first post

You're gonna want to keep some baby wipes for this one, also maybe consider investing in a waterproof mattress cover. Trust me.

Not only are you going to sweat a tropical downpour, but everything you touch/lie on will REEK like vinegar (acetic acid sometimes gets left as a by-product of converting the morphine).

Make sure you drink a shitload of water before the whole process starts. Good luck to you!

Progress report

Hey guys,

So it's been a while since I wrote.

I postponed by a week but it's done. Been clean for over 2 weeks now. Your advice really helped when I was actually able to put it into action! I can't believe how hard it was just to run a freaking bath! And the swearing absolutely stank!
I didn't go to my gp to ask for anything to ease it because I legit don't want it on record. If I was going to do that I may as well have gone into a clinic. I'm not going to lie, there was a period of about an hour on my third or fourth day where I was looking for shit but thank god I came up empty handed! Which is great because it means I fucking did it! And on my first go! Now i have another issue though, what's really fucking with me is the lack of energy.

Does anyone know of anything that can help? It's been a good 2 weeks and I find the only way I can do anything is if I have a bit of rack. And I don't want that. I want to be me again without the drugs!

Any help will be amazing!

Btw did anyone else observe that when you're getting off it you actually look like you're on it? Maybe because I was so sick and lost so much weight, but I looked like an addict when I was going clean, and when I was an addict I looked like I was clean.

How are you all doing with your journeys?

congratulations MElly! that's so awesome, and i know how hard it must have been.
yeah fourth day is the worst, i'm not surprised you were looking for gear but you didn't get any and you totally kicked your addiction in the ass
and i agree, because you can barely eat and you're soaked in sweat and you have that hollow-eyed look about you when you're kicking you tend to look awful - god knows i did.

so whens the wedding?
