First Step to Recovery
Hi I am an Opioid addict and an alcoholic, I just started my recovery just yesterday and I am really struggling. My friends advises me to go to drug rehab facilities to avoid the withdrawal symptoms, I am actually suffering from diarrhea right now.

First Step to Recovery
Hi CC and welcome. How much were you drinking? i was a 2 bottle a day drinker, 7 days a week and have been sober going on 9 months. the withdrawals initially were tough. Anxiety, diarrhea, insomina, tiredness, headaches but i just got through them one day at a time. i did take some valium the first week though.
Be gentle to yourself and eat when you are hungry or have a craving for al. Sleep when you are tired. I cant comment on rehab, MWO is my AA and without the help of this site i am sure i would not be where i am today. there is a wealth of information here so read and post and there will be someone here to help you.AF free 1st December 2013 - 1st December 2022 - 9 years of freedom

First Step to Recovery
Hi guys Thank you so much for the advice and your warm welcome. I am currently under medications at the drug rehab that I am mentioning. I registered for the 60 day program so I still have 56 days rehab. I'll keep you posted. I am noticing a lot of change little by little now, my cravings is somehow diminishing. I am still having diarhea, and muscle pains all over my body. I also vomit a lot of times. But I know I am getting my life back
