Ok so I believe, I am on to something here. I am definitely on a quest to find a solution and to END my dependance on heroin. I called an acupuncturest/chinese med. guy here and he replied with a text to me saying he HAS indeed helped people detox of opiates using something he called the NADA protocol. I was quite surprised to be honest, but it seems there are a great number of people out there that are like ME in TAKING CHARGE of our recovery and our health and finding alternatives to western medicine which is LARGELY made up of Pharmaceuticals. His exact words were: I can help you get thru your symptoms by whats called NADA protocol for detoxing and calming addiction as well as other acu-points based on your specific symptoms. I also have herbs that help to reduce the symptoms of withdrawl…….MY SPECIFIC symptoms… WHich are different than his hers theirs ect… Same as my dependance, different than anyone elses. AND my friends, SO IS YOURS. So please DO NOT think that Suboxone is THE END all for your recovery. I am going to be spending a chunk of change getting all these treatments, but it a SMALL price to pay in the end when I am done detoxing off heroin and I dont have a number of other Pharmaceuticals to detox off of. I want to detox ONCE….And go about my life in recovery.
SO you guys I know this is experemental, but I am basically assembling MY OWN team of practitioners to help aid in my detox and recovery. I just want everyone out there to KNOW that there is HOPE for you too. You do not HAVE to settle for what you are experiencing now. BE PROACTIVE in YOUR own recovery. Doctors only know what they have learned which is what they have been taught and to some degree learned thru PRACTICE.
There is one thing about ME and that is when I set my mind to something, I AM 100% comitted to success. Thats all….. HAVE A GREAT weekend..

Hello hello again everyone!

Awe shucks, horsegal! *blush* Lol. I’m flattered. I love all ya’ll guys! You all have a very special place in my heart..

So today is, gosh I don’t even know what day it is anymore!… Thirty, nine, days. I Had to look at my calendar in my phone and noticed tomorrow it’s labeled, "40 days, BEOTCH!!!" A ha! Any little bit of encouragement helps I think I caught a little bug of some sort. I threw up 3 times and had some lovely G.I. Issues this a.m./ early evening. I couldn’t of cared less, however because I’d take that any day over the first 3 weeks of this whole shin dig.

My energy is slowly coming back. I have moderate waves of w/d now but not nearly as intense as before. i couldn’t sleep last night, but thats to be expected. (Sucks serious butt though.) This flight definitely does expect turbulence!!! I even took pleasure with my children today and so so much enjoyed them. What a relief. I thought I’d turned into a cold hearted bitch for a while there these past days. (Not me at ALL! Scary.) I haven’t though, I’m still sweet old Jen. I even felt love again with my old man. Sure, I loved him before. But this time, I felt it. Eww, kooties. still having headaches at night. I’m just trying to justify them and tell myself it’s only temporary, you’re brains doing some renovation.

At this point, I’m just waiting and looking forward for the "flip day" where I think to myself "I feel great!" I may have to wait awhile. I’ve come to realize that. But each day brings "feeling better" and improvement. when I go to bed, I tell myself that tomorrow I will feel better. Its the truth. Not cured, not 100% by any means, but better… Gets your brain off the negative and makes it focus else where. Good mind trick.

The emotions running through my head are very present. It can be anything random to trigger them. It’s hard to explain because they are very much so in waves. It’s almost like a mental w/d symptom I’m feeling. Although my feelings and emotions are very sensitive right now, I’m adjusting to them. I can successfully watch tv without shedding tears over nothing. Now, lets see how I can adjust to the crap I’m going to have to hash out eventually! Oh yea…Paying the piper, brah. Greedy bastard, lol.

Ironically, my beloved (insanely cute, perfect and all that junk and thinks he’s a labrador like his sister) cats name is piper. He’s a good constant reminder that its only temporary! Ironic? I’d like to think not. maybe ill have to change my screen name

Thanks again you guys and good day, folks! -Jen <3

Wow NYG, this is awesome!

I’m SO glad that you’re w/d process is going "well" (if you want to call it that ) lol.

It sounds like you’re at a pretty good place mentally. This is a huuuge factor! That and staying active. Good for you bud! I’m almost on 40 days of sobriety. Sounds to me like you’ll be there in no time, too!

The fact that you "read" horror stories" and now have your own personal perspective about it all says one thing. That YOURE doing it now! Bravo. Stay positive like you are (it may be hard at times, that’s ok! One day at a time, or hour for you right now ) and I’m sure you will perspire. Please keep us updated. Stories like yours are awesome for me to read about. You’re never alone

Take good care of yourself!
