Hi all,

Like many of you others, I have quit so many times its not even funny anymore. I have made it through the first three days using wellbutrin for the anxiety and flexeril to sleep at night. Both of these work well for me. (just thought I would share) I have not taken a wellbutrin today yet, I will try and get off those as fast as possible, the same as flexeril. A couple of anahistimes will also work for me to sleep through the night. I will try those tonight to stay off the flexeril.

Anyways, good luck to all of us.

Day 3 sucked...today, much better so far.
 
Welcome!

Yeah, those first few days can be horrible!!!! I don't wish that upon anyone! Good for you though for hoping back into sobriety! I am glad you came here! We will be here to support you thru this difficult time!

Keep us posted and stay strong!
 
Hello Nick,

Congrats on making it through the first three days. They are the toughest days to endure.

Do you attend NA meetings? Do you have people you can call if you find you are having cravings?

Good luck, you can do this!!!

Thanks for the support Emsmom and Secrets. Emsmom, no I do not attend NA meetings. I am sure they are helpful. I do have a friend I could call when I have a craving, but in the past I have never done that. I either fought through the cravings myself or caved in. Like this morning, it was rough, and on my drive into work I almost made a detour to where I could get one. Its crazy how tough this is. I know what triggered it; I was up early, so I went into my office at home and updated the check ledger and going through mail. I did pretty good at this point due to my brain was stimulated by the work. It was after I was done in the office just sitting on the couch drinking coffee and watching the news when it hits me that emptiness in my head is there and in the past the vics would give you stimulation even during idle times. To me, thats the problem, getting use to not every minute of the day is stimulating like it was before. Anyways, I fought through the craving, and did not make the detour on the way to work. The thought that really got me through was, I don't want to give back those four days. I also made another pledge to ensure I don't cave this very first weekend; that I want to at least get though 12 days. Hopefully, that thought of that goal will get me through this weekend. Plus, I thought about this board this morning; thinking I can't come and say "Day 5". So, that also helped in not stopping this morning. Again, thanks for the support.
 
Great job Nick!

I know that was no easy thing you did this morning!!! Not even close to easy. I can completely relate to missing the whole stimulation thing.... I just feel so BLAH again lately. However, we do need to fight thru our cravings because we need to be in control of ourselves and not let some pill take control. We can do this if we all stick together and support one another.

I am proud of you! Congrats on Day 5! Hope besides the cravings you are feeling good!!!

Hang in there and you CAN make it thru this weekend!
