Thanks for the info...I wasn't sure what exactly your story was, there are so many people here, and I have major ADHD, lol, so one minute I'm replying to someone's post, knowing exactly what their story is, and the next, I can't remember anything, lol!!
To everyone who reads this...I will prob ask you all a million times to remind me of your story, and will do my best to go back thru the posts to remind myself, but if I ask, please don't be offended...it isn't that you all aren't important enough to me that I don't remember...it's that I'm surprised I remember my own story, lol.
And to the new people as well...my story in short is that I am 26, battled a ten year addiction to codeine and vicodin, having been prescribed codeine at only 16 for endometriosis, and quit cold turkey in Dec. I have not touched a narcotic since...actually, I have a super bad cold right now, and bronchitis, and went to doc today...they prescribed something called Hycodan (sp?) which I found out at the pharmacy is a narcotic, so I literally dumped bottle into toilet when I got home...but I kept the antibiotics, lol. I sometimes still have temptations, but not strong enough that it's worth keeping a bottle around that I know I'll use if I get stressed enough. Oh, and the main reason I quit was because the painpills just weren't making me feel euphoria anymore, no matter how much I took, but depressed instead. I got to know God ( and not pushing religion on anyone, but just telling you MY story) and prayed for His strength...and I did it. So can all of you!

I am so happy to hear that you are clean,, You are doing great!!!  Congrats to you,, I know it is so hard.  I talked to your wife while you were in detox, because I was in detox before and she seemed like a really great lady,,, My only question is,, I was curious to know how you and her are doing???  She seemed so supportive and that is a true plus,,, That makes things so much easier and I know from experience that there is NOTHING easy about detox.  No matter where you are NOTHING,, It is hard work and that is only the beginning,,,, Huggs and support,, G

We are doing very well thanx and actually have grown much because of the together, closer....
