Thank you all for the amazing words of encouragement!
Yesterday was my 4 week mark and I am feeling great! We had a huge snowstorm in CO the last 2 days, and I was even out there shoveling the 15" plus we got, which I would have never felt like doing 4 weeks ago!
My body is almost back to normal, I don't get the chills NEARLY as much as I was. Few and far between now. No real cravings and I've been sticking to a budget that is helpful to me and my significant other.
I haven't had any setbacks, so I am feeling awesome about it all.
RTP - I deleted any contacts like that weeks ago so I wouldn't run into that issue. However, I have received a few random texts from people offering to sell me some, and I have immediately deleted the message and went about my day. I genuinely do not want to use anymore. It was to the point where it was doing way more bad than good. I was not using them for any other reason than, I just liked that way they made me feel. Thinking back, I cant even think of the times it did make feel good, as opposed to all the of the stress and non-sense I remeber while using.
I know I haven't been here nearly as much as I used to be (Not sure if this a good or bad thing lol) but I am well and making my life better! I hope you are all doing well and hanging in there! You have all helped me more than you know

Hi everyone,
Im new to this threead, however I have browsed through the site many times.
My issue has been with Oxycodone use over the last few years.
I am what you may call a functioning Oxycodone user. I do not have a physical dependence, however am somewhat mentally attached.
My first use was about 4 years ago and I didnt really care for it very much. Maybe a few months later I started to use occasionally on friday OR saturday, to pick up girls in college as it made my game amazing. Never used more than once a week, if even that. Started with 15-30 mg. Skipping a year, after many many months of no use at all during that year. I moved to NYC. It was too easy to find this stuff, I would have it delivered to my door in under an hour. I would use maybe 2-3 times a week, and had. No problem not using. Within the last year and a half things have gotten more serious. I still do not use daily, however I have done about 7-8 days in a row (60mg total a day) before, and then gone on to take 2 weeks off. No physical symptoms other than tiredness for one day. Even now I do not use daily, in the past month ive maybe used 10 times. However now I notice I feel more tired for maybe 1-2 days after a "binge," and my desire to use again has greatly increased. I would say I have maintained decent self control, but at the same time have lost a lot of it. I'm just curious if this cycle ever ends? My work life is fine, ive doubled my income every year over the last 3 years (im 25 now), but am starting to get worried I guess at a good time. I also find that if I know I cant get, any crave I have goes away, which is nice. But I can usually get almost 90% of the time, which is a bitch. Wantef to hear a few recommendations, I think its time to pul the plug.
I also wanted to add that I go to the gym very often (although its decreased as of lately), eat very healthy (was on paleo for a year), and supplement well.
These are the supplements I take-
L-tyrosine 1 gram
D-PA 1gram/4x a day
Pirecetam + choline
Acetyl l carnitine
Ginger root capusle
Turmeric root
Ginseng
Ginko biloba
Omega 3
Multi vitamin
Green tea daily
Detox tea daily
Any suggestions to get my mind off this junk?
Anything helps, also here to help answer any questions as well. Lmk if i broke any of the rules.
Thanks
Ps I tried to create a new thread but it said I needed to select thread prefix. Sorry for jacking yours. If someone can help me please lmk

Once your opioid receptors start getting conditioned, it will take less and less to get to this point where you start feeling lethargic for a few days after usage and the farther along the physical withdrawals go the less control you may have and the easier it will be to start breaking any rules you set for yourself. Things to start looking for are agitation, insomnia, sweats at night, getting intense erections in the middle of the night that you just can't ignore but are easy to put back to sleep within seconds.
I mean like... It's easy for me to say this but it's true. That awareness will help you in the long run, as will being able to be completely honest about your usage to yourself and not making excuses or convincing yourself that it's not a big deal. Pulling the plug sounds like a good idea atleast for now.

Today is day 31 for me! Feeling better than ever!
Still dealing with some slight PAWS but totally manageable.
Last night was a very big benchmark for me as I am in a hip-hop group and last night was my first performance without opiates in YEARS! I was a little nervous to be in that environment, with friends, and drinks, and partying, but I did absoluetly fine. Did not have any cravings, the show was awesome and it felt great waking up and remembering the show. I did have a few drinks but had no feelings of wanting to use or hunt for them.
My road to recovery hasn't been easy but I'm kicking it's ass and getting better every single day.

Yesterday was my 28th birthday and I spent it with good friends and watching the hometown Broncos win the Super Bowl!I am almost to 5 weeks clean and still going strong! I still get the slight chills from time to time, which freakin sucks lol but it's better than being poor and letting a pill run my life.Blessings
