Chris,

Chris...
Hang tough buddy. It DOES get better, but you have to be patient. I'm doing better, and this makes Day 6 for me. I still feel jittery, but remembered I had a script for Flexeril and went and picked it up to help with the anxiety. Do you think that will help?

I'm on your side, as we all are on these boards. I hope you feel better soon! I'll check back often to see how you are coping. CLING TO THESE BOARDS DURING THE FIRST FEW DAYS!!!!!

(((HUGS)))

Hey oxy...did you take the clonidine and valium??? Those should be helping but will make you feel sluggish...
I am sending you some positive energy....stay strong....
I will check back in a few...
luv,

Chris,

You know what?! I know you feel like complete and utter crap, but you are doing it! Don't stop! Keep on going! I KNOW how bad it sucks, I know how bad you are hating life right now~ I really and truly do. BUT...I have all the faith in the world that you can and WILL get through this, ya hear?! Now, stay strong, my friend! I'm sure you want to tell me to "shut up" and all that other stuff right now~lol~ but you know I'm right. The very first time I went C/T I found this board, and it was the ONLY thing that got me through it. I couldn't even get out of bed on the 2nd and 3rd day to get to my computer, but everyone's support still helped me, and I even turned down a 120 count refill during the worst of my W/D's. Keep writing to us, and let us know how you are. In the meantime, you are in my thoughts & prayers. You WILL do this...I just know it. Just remember how awesome you will feel to rid yourself of all the guilt, shame, denial, self-hatred, etc. associated with those pills. You will FINALLY be free! Ok, enough of my rambling...just know you have my support!!!

You have already started this soooooo....finish it once and for all. It is hardest the first three days. You can do it-you want ot and that is the major step. I am praying for you. Keep yourself occupied as you will think abou the drug if you just are idle.......Hang in there and keep coming here and checking in...we are all here for you......Kahlia

Chris-
Sending you prayers and positive healing energy. Hang in there and just know that this will pass! I promise!!! Sleep is a great escape if at all possible, valium could help with that? Showers, drinking lot's of water, Vitamin C ~ you know the drill. My heart SO goes out to you. Remember, we're all rooting for you and know exactly what you are going through. This is hard, but do-able!

Your in round one of a 12 round fight. Your doing great by trying to be accountable and coming to the boards to tell us how you feel. Beleive me, I know exactly how you feel. If you can get through 7 days, you stand a good chance of staying clean. Your also going to need emotional support though because those pills are going to be calling your name alot and using every rationalization in the book to get you taking them again. But you can't your an addict! Remember, a thousand isn't enough and one is too many.

Sending you the power!

Chris
Hang in there, I know its rough and sucks big time, but when it passes and it will you will be so so glad you toughed it out. Like I mentioned to you yesterday, walk your butt off, keep walking, bring a big bottle of water, keep walking, come home take a hot bath and a couple of valium and try to sleep, when you wake up repeat the process remember one hour at a time. I'm praying for you to hang tough.....JT
