Hi all

I plan to detox from H starting tomorrow. I'm goin for cold turkey. I don't have a benzo or suboxone hook up, unfortunately.

What can I do to make my life less hellish for the next few days?
 
warm baths
Ive had a couple ppl tell me that ibuprofen, especially a larger dose (dont go all crazy, I just mean like 600 mg or something. Don't ever exceed the package directions) can actually take a bit of the edge off. Obviously it's not going to replace a narcotic, but sometimes when you really feel like crap, feeling that 5 or 10 percent better can be the difference between staying strong and going to cop
remind yourself that the worst will be over in three days. by the fourth day you should start to feel better. Those three days WILL go by.
take off your watch and hide the clock. Nothing like thinking two hours have gone by and it's been 40 mins :/
some people find Immodium helps a lot

I tried karatom (red and white vein) when I stopped and it honestly did not help me out that much... It did give me some energy but it didnt really help as much with the WDs as I would of liked, but everyones different and Ive known ppl who said that was all they needed and since its so cheap it could be worth a try... but you might wana try and go to the ER and get a clonidine patch or pill, seriouslly I dont think I could have stopped with out it and they will prob give you a script for 2-3 weeks, again everyones different and I know ppl who said it didnt do shit for em... and if you dont have insurance and itd cost an arm n a leg to go, you could always try n smoke some erb, drink a beer, and xanax alway helps (but can be hard AF to find)... BUT the most important thing is you really wana have to stop, it took me the prospect of going to jail for a couple months to stop fuckin around... but neways good luck man, hang in there and just remember take it one day at a time... if it that dont work take it one hour at a time, that dont work take it one min at a time but once you get some clean time youll be so glad you did it... also you can send me a msg if you really dont have anyone to talk to, I just went through it and I know having someone there to listen helped me out alot... also im on house arrest so Ill prob be online alot lol
 
update: I found some suboxone and I'm a huge fan. It really helped the kick! 2 days off, I'm a little sick, but over all soo much better than the alternative!
