so im almost scared to post this, but im actually feeling MUCH better today. for the most part ive lost that "crazy" feeling, and it's so good to feel almost "normal." the person i get these percocets from is getting them refilled at the end of the week though, and im still really worried im going to get into them agian then. im still craving them pretty bad. for example, im watching the grammy thinking to myself "man, i bet like half those people got some kinda good buzz going right now." that's kinda weird huh? anyway, lets hope i can make it through "refil day" at the end of the week!

i don't know how you do it..These WDs are whooping me down. I could not imagine going thru it once a month. If they are out of your system before you get that refill can't you go talk to someone who will help you thru the cravings. Oh my I wish you had someone to confide in that would help you & know you can get thru this without pills. You need to be good to yourself. I will be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

thanks DV, im feeling pretty good agian today, i think as long as long as i can continue to feel okay for the next few days i will be able to stay away from the refills! and ive got to keep myself busy! for me, boredom is the biggest trigger of all. good luck with all that your going through, and lets both remember we dont need these pills to make us happy!

Just got a question for yall: do you have a hard time sleeping even after the bad withdrawals are gone? For me, that is by far the number 1 reason why I relapse. 3 weeks after I stop taking my hydrocodone i'm still only getting like 3 hours of sleep a night if that(even if i take otc sleeping pills). It wears at me so much that i feel like i would do anything to get sleep again. Enter hydro again.

Justin 3 weeks...Just think how far you have come. The sleep will return. I am only 1 week and all I do is toss & turn. Don't look back look forward. No close the door to Hydros.. don't answer that door. The sleep will return. I don't know your story how long you were using. But things take time. I am learning that for myself.
If you stop & think about the other aspects of your life I am sure you have seen much improvement. You don't want to go back & have to start all over again WDs are Hell!

Stay Strong day by day minute by minute & second by second if you have to.
I know you will Justin you didn't come 3 weeks to give in.
Hang in there my friend.
