Using pills

So I’m a 37 year old m. Been fighting addiction all my life I’ve quit meth and alchol however the Dam pills. I started using pills as cures for hangovers only 1 a day for a few years then I started using a lot of pills opiates, I’m 4 days in my recovery and been down this road before. Last night I finally got a few hours of sleep. I quit because the pills were killing me medically, financially and mentally I really hope I can come out on top this time .

Hey John, whenever in doubt really think about why you started detoxing. I remember day 4. Not fun. I hope you sleep well tonight. I’ve had an opiate addiction for about 10yrs so I feel what you’re going through. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Stay strong… the worst is almost over!

Thank you I slept last night about two to three hours. Hopefully tonight I will actually sleep. I done this three times before I kept a few pills around and in couple weeks I would take one. This time I got rid of them today so there is no easy way to relapse. Of course I could it would just take more effort than just going in my closet.

I’m really glad you got rid of them. I had to do the same and get rid of so many contacts. It makes life easier. Half my posts are probably whining about not getting enough sleep. Try melatonin. I tried just about every other sleep aid and that seemed to help the best.

I got some melatonin last night and helped me to get a little sleep. And I did think about deleting contacts good idea. Thanks
