Hey, I'll try anything at this point. I don't really like the feel of pressing my back molars together tho. Feel like that could grind my teeth down, but maybe I am not doing it right or it is because I have a slight cross-bite.
Thanks for the thought. Will definitely try that soon.
Still kinda having a rough time physically, traded chills and sweats for a sick stomach and of course the restlessness is as bad as ever, but at least it didn't all come on at once and mentally I feel like I've turned the corner. I've been playing guitar, trying to learn some new classical songs n stuff.

I don't really like it either, so I've been doing 3 sets of 1 minute each, taking a little break in between to shake out my arms and shoulders and stretch my jaw....

GREAT JOB BUD!!! Your almost at a week now!!! Get yourself some melatonin and take as much as you need, but don't use it until you are ready to lay down and
go to sleep. I find that 10-20mg will help me even on the worst nights. I also tried some herbal sleeping pills that kind of helped. Just don't do any that
can be habit forming.

This is my first time hopping on the Shroomery in ages. You got this man. Feel free to send me a message if you need to. I'm almost 2 years sober now. I was on 118mgs of methadone, 6mg of xanax, and about 1.5 grams of heroin a day.

Hey thanks for the support lumadaylight and TrippieHunter. Made it a full week, and I feel like I haven't slept still, but I remember a dream from last night, which means I must have slept.
The encouragement does help. Every morning laying in bed I'm convinced that today is the day I'll crack, but somehow I don't.

No problem man, keep it up. At this point your more at the mental game more than anything. For me the worst of the shit was over by this point but I was
only kicking pills. You got this shit, if you get the urge just remind yourself of the hell the past week has been and ask yourself if you want to do it again.

Good for you man. For best results and/or living longer, this needs to be a life style change, not just a temporary relief. Obvious bullshit aside, I like working out at my home and gym. I also enjoy hiking by myself.

Somehow I did I got another 48 hours clean under my belt tho and haven't been set back too much I don't think.
Hiking and running is a big help to me, right now it's just hard to do with the stomach cramps but that will work itself out soon I think

for getting out there and doing shit! Keep it up bro!

Saw that you slipped up bro. It's all good, shit happens. Get back on the horse and don't bat yourself up man. You won't have nearly any withdraws compared to
before, it's just a mental game at this point. You can do it if you want it!!

Thanks man. I'm still determined as ever, I guess I just needed to remind myself how regrettable the whole experience was. I've still been doing better than I have staying clean in years. I'm gonna try and not smoke so much weed and drink like I originally set out to do. Especially the drinking is insidious and corrodes my judgement over time.

Have you tried loperamide, it's immodium so will stop you up, but helps many going through WD's with stomach pains. I believe it's an opiod or derived from one, which is why it helps. The shitty thing (no pun intended), is that those pills are anti diarrhea pills, so you have to be careful that you don't get constipated for a long time, so drink a shit load of water too if you go that route.

Yeah I do take loperamide sometimes which does keep me from shitting my pants, but it doesn't really help with the stomach cramps, that's something different and only really happens when I move around. It's the one thing I make sure I have before I try to kick, because it is so helpful. I just take a regular dose, I know some people will take massive overdoses of it trying to get high but that seems like a bad idea to me, plus I don't think it works like that.

2 days again still working at it. I finally ended up following my original plan after using more and more throughout the past month. I'm going to group meetings 7 days/week, not smoking weed, not drinking. Having that to go to in the mornings is making a difference I think, as usually I make the decision to use at some point in the night laying there not being able to sleep, but I go there from 8-12, then the day is half over. The other people in the group are super nice, they all pretty much have worse problems but are further along in recovery than me, so there is hope I think. Guess I gotta let myself get brainwashed, maybe it is for the best.

hell yeah, keep going man, you got this.
Not trying to tell you how to live your life, but be careful you don't substitute one substance for another, specifically alcohol. I know this guy I was friends with for a while, he quit dope but turned into an alcoholic.
Keep on partaking of that tree of life though, herb is good medicine.

I know, I'm not drinking most days, and keeping it at 3-4 drinks. I never really liked drinking that much, and don't think I'm an alcoholic, but I definitely agree 100%. I think as much as risking alcoholism I've gotta look out of getting strung out on booze and going back to what I know will cure that in an instant.
