c'mon sverige, don't be talking like that! you have been thru the tough part of the pills, don't start up again. the other things in your life will be there with or without the pills and you can handle them better when you can think clear and be yourself. that's what got me hooked on pills, there was so much in my life going on that i had no control over that the only way i felt i could handle it was to be high. my son was in prison, my husband had kidney failure, my brother died, my mom is old and has dementia, my daughter is pregnant with no money - there was so much on my shoulders i couldn't take it. it took me a year to finally decide to quit the pills and went the sub route. and you know how hard that is to get off of, but after a couple weeks you will feel better, just take each day at a time, don't dwell on things that you have no control over and take care of the things that you can. you are the only person you can count on for you. you are the one to control your destiny, to get where you want to in life and you aren't going to do it by taking the sub. you are way stronger than you feel right now, you have proved it to us and to yourself just by making it this far. stay strong, i hope everyones worRAB on this board will help you thru this. you are much bigger than those stupid orange pills!! wishing you peace and happiness, amed

Day Six is coming and I do not look forward to it a bit.

To be honest, All day today I was just thinking about going home and just popping that cute little orange bottle like a Pringles potato chip and grab one of them.

But I did not, it's 9.00 P.M here in L.A, and I'm sitting here thinking about how to make it through tomorrow.
I'm starting to think that going cold turkey was not the right choice. I've read almost every single threat and post about Suboxone, how everyone recommenRAB taper. Maybe I should have, maybe not. If I make it through then I know it was the right choice, I'm just hoping I wont relapse, if I do, i will be very disappointed in myself.

I can't deal with is this weird feeling in my legs. feels like something inside my skin is moving around. And because of this I can't sleep, I can't even sit down for too long. It's kind of hard to explain. Feels like you are having a panic attack. This was something I did not expect. At All!
Horrible horrible feeling. I'm sure I'm not the only one, so whoever is reading this, what did you do to ease the feeling?
Man oh man am I counting the SECONRAB until all of this BS will go away and I can become the Man I used to be.

Always proud
Always Thoughtful
Always think twice.
Always Smart and quick in the most dangerous and nasty situations.
Not a drug addict.
Yes.. that day will come.

I have decided that I will go to the gym, use the sauna, get some blood flowing, and some sweat dripping. I'm almost positive it will give me strength to make it through this dark and evil path that I have chosen.

I was also thinking, how WEAK we really are, so so weak. We take ALL SORTS OF PILLS for ALL SORTS OF REASONS.
This is wrong. For every small infection I.E, antibiotics. That's great, you got rid of the virus, now next time around, that same virus will walk through that door with an armored body suit on and the antibiotics will do nothing, because the virus has evolved and become IMMUNE. Well, that's fine, let's increase the dose, and on and on it goes, pill after pill.

I don't know why I posted this..as a matter of fact, i dont know anything right now. Just keep counting and counting until I start to feel normal again.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread, you all have been tremendous help and inspiration.
 
Hey there!

SounRAB like you are really doing well! I am so happy to hear that! Working out, fighting the urge to take that drug that is sitting in your car! GOOD FOR YOU! You have strength! No one can say otherwise!

I am happy for you and I hope it just keeps getting better for you friend! Keep us updated!
 
hi, i keep my pills to remind me of what a nightmare they were. i would never take sub again in my life. if i had vicodin or hydrocodone then that might be different, thay made me feel great. the sub on the other hand didn't. everyone is different and different things work for all of us. i did hear the banana thing before and i also took benadryl. can't say how great they worked, still went thru some really bad days. but once they are over, and they will be over if you stay with your plan, you will feel great and will be very proud of yourself. like i said before if you have the strength go work out, or go to that sauna, do something to take your mind off of your suffering. hope you feel better soon, amed

Sverge:

First of all I want to congratulate you on your progress. Keep in mind just cuz we are addicts doesn't mean we are weak. Actually I have found some of us addicts are very intelligent and strong willed or else we wouldn't have survived in our addiction. I noticed that when I was in rehab, I also learned that we are people who are overly sensitive. When I was using I assisted the President of the Senate of the only Black University this side of the Mississippi. Others in rehab also had top level position in their companies while some were students etc. I just say this to remind you that we come from all walks of life. More importantly you are not WEAK you are strong that is why you are still fighting the good fight. I think going to the Gym is an excellent idea keep busy write read if you can. Just keep busy. I don't know if you would be interested in a 12 step meeting. I don't go to doctors or psychiatrist but going there helps me cuz I can vent and tt ppl who understand me and r going thru the same thing. You can also read up and research the disease of addiction. Cuz it is a disease one that goes into remission but, we are never cured. We can live a full life without using and it can stay in remission forever as long as we don't pick up that Drug.

Sorry going on an on I just needed to let you know some of the stuff I've learned. I have been sober for 4 months. For 2 years I have been off an on with some good lengths of time. For these last 4 months I have been completely and honestly sober and I have never been happier.... Good luck sweetheart and take care.

Love ya,
Lori
 
Update:

I was feeling really good in the morning. But now I feel bad again.
EXTREMELY tired, joint ache and all the nasty sh*t that I thought I was over.

Hi All.

I feel pretty normal right now, might be because I took a crurab 2 days ago, I really don't know. No severe WD's except for a few yawning here and there, and these past 2 days I slept like a bear.

I do know that the coming days will be though again. And everything Subtrain said is correct.

The path is chosen, now it's my responsibility to fulfill it, which I will.
No more crurabs, even though I took just a tiny one for a good night sleep, which was wrong - I know.

I have a feeling that starting tomorrow or the day after my legs will be all screwed up again, and that is the ONLY thing that is worrying me.
