Hey everyone..I have been MIA from the forum for the past week because my girlfriend was in town visiting..I know some people know my story already but I recently quit doing oxys cold turkey before my problem turned real bad..I had been doing about a 40 per day and had access to them to the point where i rarely had to worry about getting them..then the day came when i couldnt get one and it was the worst day ever (until i got one late that night)..chills..knee pain..anxiety..couldnt sit still..needless to say it scared the **** out of me and i decided i was done after that..i found this site the next day and it helped prepare me for everything and i could vent when i needed to..i would say with w/ds were extremely mild..but i honestly attribute that to the fact that i wanted to quit..in my mind it was a done deal and that was the end of it..At this point I am close to two weeks and I honestly feel great..i had a great time with my girlfriend and she didnt know anything was up..after two years of dating its the first thing i have ever kept from her..i would have told her if i couldnt do this myself but i wanted to be able to do this on my own and never speak of it again..and so far i have been successful..i know its an uphill battle, but at this point i am winning and i owe a lot of it to this site..so thanks to everyone for their support..(i figured we could use a positive post, because i read some of the recent ones and they are kind of downers)..i hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend..and once again..thank you!
