opiate withdraw

Day 3... this sucks

I'm on day 3 myself right now. From stories I've read I am barely considered an addict because I am functioning and I've lost nothing but money and energy with my addiction but it had to stop. The first days are the worst I believe. Hang on in there. Know there is someone in Denmark walking beside you on a similar journey.

Just a little thing I found useful - CBD oil in the morning. I couldn't get going, no energy but yet restless. CBD did help. It's not addictive. Good wishes to you!

sounds like you are a functioning addict...I'm a functioning alcoholic .. I go to work, I pay my bills I take care of my kids I haven't lost everything but doesn't mean I'm not an alcoholic because I can function while doing what was robbing me of my choice to drink, it was hell..I could function just fine but alcohol completely controlled my thoughts and life and it doesnt mean the problem wasnt there .. ..my excuse to keep drinking was bc I could function but once I got real I could start getting the help I needed.... I'm on day 38 ..keep going make everyday count !!

around here they are not compassionate to this issue so going to the hospital is not something I can do. I have a friend it's in the Subutex program and she is going to give me a little extra that she has to help me.

do you have NA meetings?

not yet I'm trying to get that established now. Also a outpatient detox

hows it goin? Thinking and praying for you.

After day 3 you'll start to get better. I remember when I was in detox first two days i either laid in bed or walked around with three sheets over me cause I felt super cold. even though it was super hot out. I couldn't sleep and had muscle aches. you'll get through it. I'm 24 sober now and got zero cravings. Believe me I've hit rock bottom. Family and friends are my real heros. Good luck on your detox. Don't take the Suboxone if you don't need it. if you can fight it fight. stay away from methadone. please.
