Finished off my stash of oxy this morning. Like I said, that means I'm stopping. I already feel like ****. I'm isolating so I don't freak out at people. I know I could get a rx for suboxone or something or other, but I'd rather not. Kinda trying to keep this as much as a secret as I can. Letting the group I go to know and that's all I think I'll need.
******mit I've never craved something like this before.

Honestly thought I wouldn't have withdrawals because my usage wasn't "that bad." Boy, was I wrong. Had about two hours of sleep last night and woke up in Hell. First f'king thing I thought about was oxy and almost started crying when I realized I was out and done. I know it's for the better, and I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm seriously thinking of asking my very few friends if they know anyone selling. Not going to. I would hope they are good enough friends to not tell me anyways. But damn this sucks.

spikes,

Hang in there. I've heard opiate withdrawal is awful, but you'll get through it, and come out on the other side stronger.

Will be sending good thoughts into the universe for you.

Get some suboxone if you cannot do it.

Tomorrow will be day 5 sober - Without phenibut and Xanax too. The olanzepine and taking my meds as prescribed is really helping.

In 2020, I began year 4 of zero alcohol. I was a serious alcoholic. I gotta do something quick tho, cuz I've been missing alcohol, purely for comfort. I'm so lonely living in this state. Alcohol always comforted my loneliness. Strange right? Cuz I preferred drinking completely alone. Nothing makes sense..

Not sure what meetings are like in your location, but there's always AA. Even if you don't completely buy the steps it's great for meeting other people who are working on sobriety and for fellowship.

If AA's not your thing, check out SMART recovery. They're totally different and based on cognitive behavioural therapy principles. I have a lot of friends who attend SMART recovery meetings and really them.

And sorry - don't know your gender but if you're female, Women for Sobriety is a great program.

Personally I've always felt better in my recovery when I'm in a community of like minded individuals.

150mg of phenibut a day.

Taking a 0.5mg alprazolam to relax every evening though.

Today is day 1 sober - Just meds.

I've decided to just take meds as prescribed. I just had a urine test.. I hope nothing bad shows up in it.

I'm in the hospital for dp/dr panic attacks and psychosis.

Don't use.. You are loved.. If you do, make sure you don't OD from lower tolerance...

It will be ok the longer you don't use <3
