So I've chosen to go the long way around...and by that I mean really take some time to get into my own head space and learn about why I am where I am, the type of person I want to be and ultimately how I can get there.
If you've read my previous posts then you are familiar with the fact that I did not marry for love...I married because it was what was expected of me. In case any one is wondering, no I did not have an arranged marriage dictated by religious beliefs. First of all I was way too young to be getting married...I had no business making that kind of life decision at twenty-one years old. Second, I was very much someone who was taught to weight your own happiness against the collateral damage (other people's unhappiness). And now nearly ten years later I have finally admitted it wasn't right to begin with and it isn't working.
Being in an unhappy marriage for so many years forces you to find way to cope. Initially I was prescribed hydrocodone to deal with painful health issues but that quickly became a catalyst for a way to deal with my unhappiness in my situation a little bit at a time. I know it seems silly to someone who has never experienced addiction of any kind...but there is a fine line between using it to help medical issues and loosing yourself in it. I'm probably very similar to you....I'm a professional, I have a child, I am a people pleaser, I never do anything wrong, I shop at Kate Spade and J. Crew, I live in middle class suburbia with two dogs and a cat.
Addiction effects so many types of people. My addiction began with my doctor. And those little white pills quickly became a way to make myself happy for an hour or so at a time...it helped by making being stuck in an unhappy relationship tolerable. So that's what I did for the last three years. At first I though it I had found a solution and as long as I kept it in check I would be fine. It's true what they say...when you use opiates over long periods of time you're body (mainly your brain) learns to function with them. But once you stop taking them, that's when your brain and your body freaks out because it doesn't remember how to work normally without the help of opiates. And once you've been on them long term you find your body still suffers from strange side effects like mild depression, inability to focus or concentrate.
I've tried to stop both ways. Once I ran out of pills and I couldn't get anymore for a few days. I was miserable and battled the horrid side effects of withdrawal but as soon as my prescription was able to be filled again I was in line at the pharmacy and taking my first pill as soon as I got out the door. The other time I decided to quit on my own, I still had a supply so I decided to taper off. However, after a few days things got rocky at home and I found myself reaching for my usual quantity to help deal with my unhappiness.
So here I am today. Getting divorced and re-evaluating my life. And what I have come to figure out is that I don't want to be on these opiates any more. It's not the person I want to be. I want to wake up and feel joyful and rested....I don't want to be a slave to a bottle full of white pills. I had some research online and came across Elimidrol. There wasn't too much out there as far as reviews go...just a few Youtube videos and a bunch of forums with some minor discussion.
I looked at the ingredients which you can find here and its full of herbs and vitamins. Most of which I was familiar with individually. And I had seen some "recipes" online for using herbs and vitamins for withdrawal symptoms. However the major complaint was always that it was very expensive to purchase all of the needed beneficial supplements and also that once you had them it was very hard to find the proper combination of them to get the right therapeutic effects.
Elimidrol was designed for effectiveness and simplicity to make the detox process as easy as possible while alleviating the negative symptoms and promoting a positive mood throughout the entire process. Elimidrol is also non-addictive and non-habit forming...it's basically full of vitamins and herbs that a detoxing body needs to help function while it's adjusting to life without opiates.
You add the recommended scoops into water and drink it.
So I ordered my Elimidrol and am waiting impatiently for it to arrive on my door step. I'm very excited to try this as I would really like to put this horrid section of my life behind me.
Stay tuned and I will be documenting my journey with Elimidrol in future posts.
UPDATE...UPDATE....UPDATE...
I realized that I hadn't followed up on this post for you guys....so here you go! I seriously can't say enough good things about this product. It really did give me my life back. The day time formula helped with my energy level and really did help lessen the withdrawal effects.
And the night time formula was my HOLY GRAIL! Anyone who has withdrawn from any kind of opiates knows that sleep is nearly impossible with the restless legs and achy joints and all the anxiety...but the night time forumla was amazing. I'd take my scoop with water when I was ready for bed and within 15 to 20 minutes I was yawning and feeling like I was ready for bed...it surprisingly was a nice gentle was to fall asleep. I'd sleep through the whole night without any problems and wake up feeling refreshed.
I actually keep buying the night time formula to keep in my medicine cabinet...I obviously don't need it for opiate withdrawals any more but it's so amazing as a sleep aid and works better than all the other stuff I've tried in the drugstore (it all made me feel tired or groogy or hungover in the morning...this stuff doesn't do that! I love it!).
In all seriousness if you're struggling with opiate addiction and want to get your life back on track this stuff worked great for me. Plus they have a money back guarantee so if you try it and it doesn't help you then contact them to get your refund.
Give it a shot...I think you'll be really happy with the results...I know I am...I've got my life back and I feel like myself again.
please keep me posted... as I am going thru the same journey,, am seriously thinking of giving it a try... let me know how it works for u...
