I am currently on day 2 of opioid withdrawal. I got clean about 2 weeks ago but slipped up again. I’m feeling super low energy and want to just lay in bed all day but I’m trying to fill my time with productive things to do. Major anxiety and other side effects are kicking my ass right now and I feel like checking myself into a hospital😂. I’m sick and tired of feeling like this and I want to get my shit together asap so I can move on with my life. Any advice or motivation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you considered detox and rehab? Trying to do this on your own isn’t the best option and it sounds like you’re on a hamster wheel. I was an opioid user so I know what it’s like to withdrawal. I admitted myself into detox and followed it up with an intensive outpatient program. Ask yourself…how bad do you want this and what are you willing to do to stay clean?

Be super gentle with yourself, it’s OK to want to be productive but you have plenty of time to be just that, on my day 2 I was just about brushing my teeth and showering. I get wete all diffrent but just be careful not to put to much too soon on your plate. All the best to you. X

What happened man, you came on here 8 days clean last week? Not worth just going in and out of withdrawal. You’ll know when you really want to quit, sounds like you’re up in the air about it. Not the way to live and you’re 19 years old. Can fuck up your whole life with these pills. Don’t mean to be harsh, but I wish more people were harsh with reality to myself at your age.

To be honest I don’t really know what happened last time. To be honest I feel like I was more scared of the withdrawals than I enjoyed the high. But as you can tell I’m back to square one. And I appreciate you being real with me because a lot of times that’s what I need to hear to stay motivated. This time I’m going to try my best to remember how I feel today before I think about picking up some more percs.
Thanks again for your help.

Thank you I am trying my best to do the bare minimum today. Just came back from lunch with my girlfriend and it was exhausting but spending time with her helps my spirits😂.
Thank you for your kind words.

You need to remove yourself from all addicts in your life. Man, I wish I was 19 again, get into school, a trade or hobbies. Your mind will constantly tell you it’s ok to take the pills, it’s up to you to fight those demons off. Make something of your life, the world has enough opiate addicts as is. Resting is fine, get as much sleep as possible, that helps the brain reset.
