Log #81 (Staying The Course)

Unless a person has physically been through withdrawals they have no idea how difficult it is!

Getting two nights of sleep in a row was too much to ask for. The problem now is that the pain I really have from my low back and groin isn't being masked by the Oxycontin so while the withdrawals are slowly decreasing, my legitimate pain is increasing. I can actually tell how much the Oxycontin was helping, but irregardless of the benefits I am staying my course. The downside of Oxycontin is too much greater than the upside. I would rather suffer a great deal of pain than go back to that stuff.

On top of not sleeping, the loss of Oxycontin is giving me a great deal of nausea.
