just feeling bad...

Question

i am not going to sit here and tell you guys that i feel like **** today...because there are so many of you who have been doing this longer than my 9 hrs...

i want to congratulate all you guys who are doing this c/t, tapering, suboxone, anything...i do not know why we waited this long...

and i do know most of you have legitimate pain...and i am so sorry that life has dealt you those cards...and then the only answer is to medicate with the same things that are addictive...makes no sense to me...

i only hope and pray that everyone has someone they can talk to, as bowhunter said, face to face...fortunately mine is my addicted husband, and yes we can be strong for each other...im the stronger one...lol...im considering telling my mother this evening, so that we do have someone on the outside...i know she would help, but its the whold disappointment thing...we have been down this addiction road before...

anyway...keep posting thos success stories...and keep venting...i will always have an answer for you guys...

love, natasha

Okay its been 9hrs, its this the longest you have gone?
You should go to the drug strong and get some motrin that will take away the muscle aches and pains. Also take some b12's, if you can get some xanax for tonight. I'm 24hrs at 5:36pm tonight so I'm just alittle ahead of you. We can do this.

Not sure if Mom is a good idea unless you have a very very good relationship the both of you with her...

Looking for answers NA, or Narconon.....may be a better bet...

what ever you do good luck......

Glad to hear you are going to talk with your mother.  The very fact that you are engaging her is a very positive sign.  Don't underestimate her ability to understand and help you.

I went through this with my son. He didn't want to tell me he was addicted, much less ask fo help in trying to quit.  After many tries, he finally succeeded.

Ironically, when I found myself addicted to pain killers, he was the second person (my wife was first) that I asked for help.

In 5 weeks I will be looking on the Forum for you to report your success.  

Your hubby's "buy them...don't buy them" is part of the mental gymnastics we all go through with W/D.  I've had those same thoughts at least 100 times in the past 5 weeks.

Give your Mom a big hug for me.  Tell her I'm the father of six and grandfather of eight...she'll understand.

Hi
I just wanted to tell all of you how strong you are. I have been addicted to norco for four years. I take 85-90mg a day. I feel terrible most of the time and I just don't know where to start. I would like to taper but don't know if I can. Like most of you I have two beautiful children, a husband who adores me, a beautiful home and life and I don't know why I take these awful pills. The rops are dropping like flies and I know I will not be able to keep getting these for long. I am planning on starting a taper on the 19th. any words of advice is appreciated.
Thank you 
Jackie
