NEW/FINAL at home (attempt) detox diary, general support, and advice thread.

Excellent!!!

And of course, we are here for you too :)

You GOT THIS.

Type away if you need to get it out. We are here.

Peace.
 
Thank you so much - I most likely will go on some rambling just to get it off my chest. I find it therapeutic in a way.
Right now, I am starting to feel the withdrawals creeping, I am hoping I will get some sleep before the full blown WDs hit.
Not looking forward for tomorrow - It's scary because It seems like each time I go thru detoxing it's worse and worse.
Hopefully, some vitamins, benzos, and hot showers will help me. I will also find a new show on netflix to watch to keep my mind busy.
It sucks because when I'm sick I do not want to move but I am also so restless I can't sleep. At least I have a good amount of xanax to help
the worse of the worse.
Also, I got the wrong kind of blood pressure medicine (calcium blocker) so they won't do me any good. So I am just stuck with xanax and my own demise.

much love to you
 
I will be checking in with you and I know you can do this :)

Calcium blockers....be carful if you do take it, I want to say imodium does something to calcium channels as well... you might try drugsDOTcom to see if there are known interactions between the two, and/or call a pharmacist. High, high doses of imodium have caused heart trouble for some. Not trying to frighten you as you will not likely be taking MASSIVE doses of imodium, just wanted to put it out there so you have the knowledge.

If I were you, I would probably try to go to sleep now, so I could get in as much sleep as possible while I still could.

You GOT this, baby doll :)

You will be OK.

Peace.
 
I decided to NOT take the blood pressure/calcium blocker medicine I was given - I do not want it to cause any bad side effects.
The immodium will be only taken at 2 mg doses to help with stomach issues.
Thanks again Abetterway! much love!
 
Hi w0w: I have been busy babysitting and I went to pick up a dog for dog sitting for the next couple of days, so am finally getting a break to sit down and catch up on your thread.
I "approve" of all your purchases to help you through the withdrawals... every single item will be of much use... Gatorade saved me from dehydration, that's for sure.

The law sure threw the book at your friend, didn't they.... can he afford a good attorney or will he need a public defender? And January 2017 as a court date... that is insane...is it city, county or state court? I am hoping that your w/d's will be mild, since you have been through so much.

Since you have Netflix... did you ever watch Hinterland? It is a series set in Wales. It is just about my favorite show I watched in a few years. I like it because it takes me away from the present and I can feel the beauty and desolation of the places it was filmed. Also, the lead person has his own demons, so I can relate to his feelings of torment and sadness. Saying that, I think ABetterWay may be right in that it would be more helpful to watch comedies and light hearted types of entertainment. I guess I am different... I need something that is engrossing so that I forget all about my pain and my own depression when I am sick or detoxing.
 
Hey Wow! Just dropping in to say hi! Hope you are doing ok and riding it out, just keep thinking that this is the last time you will ever feel like this because you won't be going back to that life again, you've got your clean life with your girlfriend to look forward to!

You've got a massive amount of support, everyone is behind you and wants you to succeed. Keep going!

Lots of love x
 
Just dropping in to say that you are in my thoughts. Just think of all the millions of people who have gone thru withdrawals before. There are also probably thousands going through it as we speak rigt now. Try to remember that you are not alone and that his is totally do-able
 
Hey w0w, thanks for stopping in on my thread. I like your arsenal ya got there. I'm now wishing I would have stocked up on a few things yesterday as we've got snow that's hitting hard as I type. My 450hp rear wheel drive car doesn't like getting out in the snow at all, so I'm pretty much home bound with nothing in the fridge besides some leftover pasta.

Due to the weather, I'm working from home again today. I'll look for your posts throughout the day and see how you're holding up. I've got a good feeling you're gonna lick this shit this go around!!!

-SK
 
Thinking of you, w0w...

You are gonna be OK, it will pass. And you will never have to be sick again. Ever!!!

Post away, hon, get it off your chest, we are here for ya!

Peace.
 
Still thinking of you, w0w...you are doing great. Remember.... do it once, and you never have to do it again.

It is gonna pass.

You are strong, STRONG, brave, and so loved!

You are surrounded by a matrix of caring souls who wish the best for you, who are here to hold your hand, who are here to encourage you, because they believe in you.

Believe in yourself, my friend.

Believe!

Peace.
 
Thank you everyone - I am feeling pretty bad right now.
I have eaten a banana and been trying to hydrate.
A lot of chills, sweats, stomach aches, the usual.
I am trying so hard to get thru this.

I will check out that series on netflix too, thank you!

Much love to you all and I really need the support it helps me so much.
I will keep you all up to date.
 
Just keep telling yourself it will pass, because it will....

Do it once, my friend. You can get there!

Watch something funny if you need a mood lift. I had mentioned some comedians earlier. Also, Pete Holmes is great, real goofy light hearted stuff. I love him too. If you are familiar with Nolan's Batman movies, check out Holmes spoofing it with I think College Humor as Badman, funny stuff.

You got this!

Peace.
 
Remember....

Yes I can

leads to

Yes I will

leads to

Yes I am

leads to Yes, I DID!!!!

You got this!

Peace.
 
Just checking in, still not feeling that great.
All I have been taking is 2 mg of immodium, multivitamin, vitamin c, and xanax as needed.
just going to still lay down for a little bit, i am not sure if i feel better or worse than yesterday.
 
I'm right there with you lol coming up on twenty four hours soon and getting very pissy lol.

I know I'm not dying but I really am getting pissy now lol.

Thus sucks.
Hang in there buddy!

You are doing great.

Peace.
 
ABW, are you going through withdrawal as well?

wOw, I'm on day 1 1/2. I took a bunch of percs the other day. Why the fuck can't I just leave the shit alone?? So I'm sick for a few days, who cares! I've been through worse! I've gotta stop... I don't think I have another day 1 in me.

Be strong. Let's make opiates our bitch instead of the other way around
 
I am with you Stickman, I am on day 2 not feeling so great but I know it will get better, I have been taking a lot of xanax to combat WD I know it's stupid but fuck it, one substance at a time I guess. If I can get past the opiate Withdrawals, benzo WD will be next on my list. I need to be completely clean by March 3rd which IDK if I will have the benzos out of my system then, so I may be going to jail. At least I wont be kicking too bad in a cell.
