i am from upstate new york but since this is only my second day i havent really thought that far ahead not 100percent sure i'm gonna make it at this point
ive been addicted for about 3 years now.. and it seems like no time is a good time to quit.. but obviously we have both taken a step in the right direction by coming onto this site and post our problems for everyone to see.. we realize we have the addiction.. and god knows i dont want to stop.. i wish i could take them forever. but i know my life is majorly screwed up because of how dependent i am on the pills.. im scared of going to a meeting on my own.. i have this idea that ill walk into some musty basement of a church and see old homeless men all sitting around staring at me while thinking "what the hell is this stupid girl doing here".. i dont know.. i just dont know..
how are you doing today though...??
i'm beginning to wonder if c/t was such a good idea cause i have been taking 18 to 20 vics aday for over 9 years. and i'm having a pretty rough time tonight
Wait.. what? you are going cold turkey after 9 years of addiction? No no no.. you are putting way too much stress on your body! If anything you need to taper off.. if you were taking about 10 a day.. then go down to 6 a day.. for about a week.. then down to 4.. and so on and so on.. going cold turkey like that is enough to make a person insane!.. do you have the means to taper off the drugs? or are you all out of the vicodin?
if anything people who do cold turkey from opiates (especially when taking that many and for that long) will more than likely fall of the wagon and begin taking them shortly after.. the physical and mental effects of cold turkey are severe..
why havent you tried tapering yourself?
i started taking vics after my mom died and it really helped ease the pain-of course it was prescribed for back pain-but thats not what i used it for. i have two grown daughters and 3 grandchildren and this is an embarrassing habit. it just keeps getting worse-i need more and more-didnt know where it would end
cant taper now i got mad as hell and flushed everything!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm feeling pretty bad tonight but i'm pretty determined. just wish i could sleep
You rock!!!!! Are you supplied with anxiety meds or sleep aids or anything? You sound like the grandma of my dreams!!!
I don't know what got into you to flush. I can help you out if you need help. Let me know.
