Hi all! Access,as Wynter said you never have to apologise.
Those drinks you had i can only imagine! I stay away from coffee ect never mind energy drinks! They not a friend of my anxiety.At all.
I am glad you can see how easily they can try and sneak at you or trick you.Proper evil things really,that affect your brain in that way! It is our pleasure receptor i think!
How are you doing today kittycat,all good ????
Tramadol are you okay,expect your well on your way now.Stay strong man.
I am not in a good place today,but i must treat it as JUST that.
Life eh! It is hard at times,that is when my addictions try and grab me.Onwards we go! ????
Stay strong all! Sending good vibes from here.

Hi Betty,how are you getting on,hope you are ok and still with us! Stay strong! ???????? ????????
Hi all!
It is great everyone is battling on!
Access,3 weeks already man,wowzers! You have smashed it considering how many years you were on them.You really have. ????????
Yes there is a void left by not taking,something we have to fill somehow.Exersise is good as long as you can.Good food also.
The main thing is keeping off the tablets.
Kittycat another day another day further on in your journey! You have done really really well coping on your own.Without anyone noticing. Amazing ????
How are you guys doing with sleep? It has not been mentioned of late, and little mention of restless legs.Different symtoms for different folks i suppose. It’s no biggie.
Stay strong all,hour at a time if needed!

Hi kittycat! Day 17! Wow! You have come soo far it seems days ago you started your journey. You are definitely through the physical side of it,its just the psychological side that seems to hinder some of us.
Its great to see another soul through the otherside,it really is! I”ll say it again though,do not let these things sneak back into your life,they lie to you trick the lot,especially when you think you beat them.
I don’t like repeating that last message but it is true,please troops always keep that in your minds.
Stay strong kittycat, soon be 3 weeks!! W’hey!

Hi Access, i know what you mean with the divers boots! Your energy will return,your body has just got to get back to normal as it were.Don’t push yourself too hard, 40 years is a very long time.So it may take awhile.You seem to have everything under control though.Just keep doing what you are doing and it will all be over soon enough.
Do not let your guard down,evil so it is.
Stay strong all! You got this!
Hi all!
It’s great to come back in and see soo many positive people taking on the journey and taking the time to post positive advice to others!
I really believed it was only me who struggled with them,i really did,untill i found this site! It has given me so much strength to continue my journey! As someone said it is suprising what Ibroprophen can do! Am definitely learning that,its about timing imo,getting to the pain before the real discomfort starts has helped me lots,i do worry i havnt eaten at times though(when taking Ibroprophen). No biggie though ????
Stay strong all,untill the next time!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi access, am too in alcohol recovery.14.5 years,3 years since last fall! i battled that on my own.
If you go back in the thread,both me an Wynter started to listen to music again an had tears for our troubles. All those emotions we buried come to the surface now.Unfortunatly.
Similar to when i stopped drinking,blinkers are off as it were.
A whole new life is ahead of us without the pills.
I still find it scary, but think that is my anxiety playing up.
Stay strong Access.

Hi Tramadol, the reason the first few days are not the worst is because we are using the leftover opiate in our livers.Hence after day 3 it gets worse(read that too).
4,5,6,7 were the worst days for me too.I even cried, because i did not think i could do a cple of days,never mind 18!
I looked up and asked for strength, even though i am a non believer! Mad!
Just one day at a time Tramadol,you too have got THIS!
Stay strong man ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Kittycat, wow!! Well done you!! 2 weeks down,awesome job! Your motivation will come back,give it time.I read somewhere that no matter what abuse we have done to our brains,they will start to produce dopamine naturally after 4 months.So anything like exercise, eating well,drinking well, will speed that 4 months up.
You GOT this Kittycat!! Brill!
Stay strong, you will be vulnerable for awhile to taking again.

Hi Wynter yes we know only too well what these things dobto us,extremely powerful so they are! Am staying strong despite crippling anxiety but will not give in!!
Speak soon Wynter,your a good lass! Keep strong!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Wynter! Seems soo long ago now does it not!
Still seems pretty raw though!
Stay strong lass! Haha ????

Hi all!
Tramadol,as Wynter said,it is all part of the withdrawals.
There are some truly horrid things that go with withdrawal. Not nice! Immodium defo is your friend ???? as long as you are not allergic to it.
Wynter it is really good to hear you are still going strong! It really is!! I too have thought about taking because of pain,but like you said,i know it will make me worse,or at least that is what i am telling myself.I even took a cple out of the packet not long ago,did not take though.I had a super weak moment,for a few seconds.
Wynter,i think it was your doctor who said it can linger for 6 plus weeks,she was not wrong. I think it can last longer. Or it seems too sometimes.
Tramadol you will notice things start to settle down soon,8 days is awesome! Keep it going!! Tomorrow will be 9! Great work my friend.
Stay strong all and speak soon!

Hi John! Thankyou for the kind words,seriously thankyou!
How are you doing John, all good? Hope so my friend.
I just want too help that is all.
Tramadol you are doing great,
A week done! Excellent news!
The anxiety side of it is horrid,i can fully understand how you are feeling,i really can.It will get better,just takes awhile for our bodies to remember.
Keep couting the days,it gives you that accomplishment and something to push off,as it were.
Stay strong all,YOU got this!!
