I'm in the same exact boat.  So. Cal girl in her late 20's and no one would ever in a million years suspect me of being a vicodin addict.  I've stolen any kind of opiods out of every single family and friends medicine cabinet.  No one has ever confronted me but I know they know, especially my mom.  It has taken over my life totally. I want to tell people because I know that will make me more accountable but I'm scared.  Don't know if I want to be held more accountable?  People to know? Looked down upon?  Suspicious of me?

I'm kind of new here too but today is day 4 without any and it ******* sucks!  Talking on here really makes it so much better though.  Love to talk more with you!

I am 32 years old and have been addicted to norco for about 3 years now. I take 30 to 40 pills a day. I recently lost my house, my wife and 2 kids due to this illness. I want to stop. Can suboxen help or is it just replacing one for the other?
