Cold Turkey from Hydrocodone

[PinkStars07]

I am so glad I found this forum.  I have been looking for one but all the ones I have found have been dated back to 2010 or even older!  I was on the hydrocodone bandwagon for almost 2 years.  Taking 1-2 a day.  Sometimes 3.  I know that is not a lot, but I came to realize that it is a problem.  This is my thrid time trying to detox but this time, I am determined. I am only on day 2, but I dont feel that bad....I hope it wont get worse.  You guys are wonderful with all the support.  I cant believe what a grip this has had on me.  I remember taking them once in awhile and then it turned into everyday.  I know I have to get better, I have a 2 year old daughter and she is my everything and my focus on getting better.  I have had panic attacks about my body shutting down due to taking those, I know I am being a lunatic, but I think that is what I needed.  My only fear, I have a dr appointment tomorrow for a bruised cartliege in my ribs, if they offer me something, what do I say?  I dont want it know I am/was an abuser, however, this pain I have *****.  Again, thank you all for the support.  God Bless

Thank you Jugglin!  I do feel like the cravings are down a lot.  And I'm physically feeling great and I feel the mood swings are winding down.

I am so happy for you...it isn't easy but soooo worth it!  You are doing great girl!  Just keep your guard up.  It is easy to fall back into addiction when we think we have it beat.  Your positive attitude is a blessing to you and others that are following your story. YAHOO for you!

Ugh that sounds awful.  I'm at work today and it isnt too bad but its only day 1 lol day 1 is easy compared to whats ahead.  In Jan, when I lived in Hawaii and I knew I was moving to CA, I had 5 weeks off before I went back to work and was going to use those 5 weeks to get off this and get better, but I messed it up and did just the opposite.  My fault.  So here I am but I'm thankful I can get a few days off of work.

Thank you all.  I know and that's what scares me.  My daughter was born via c section and I was prescribed norcos back in November of 2012 and remember only taking them for a week and never touching them again.  It's sad that back in July of 2013 I had them for back issue and then some emotional problems happened, and I took them to numb myself.  I never thought I'd be addicted to anything...well except coffee lol.   This forum is a wonderful place and I thank you all for all the wonderful support
