Could I have caused any liver damage from my Vicodin addiction?

[Scarface94]

So I have been off Vicodin for 8 days. I was taking 80mg of Hydrocodone everyday for 4 months straight. Could I have caused permanent Liver damage from that 4 month period? If I did do any damage, will it heal since I won't be taking ANY Vicodin anymore?

Are you on any antidepressants right now?  I have a feeling you have many more skills than you give yourself credit for.  I know you dont see that right now so hopefully in time you will.

I have no ******* goals, i have no idea what i want to do with my life, i take one class at a community college, i don't have a job, and i don't have any hobbies, and don't talk to anybody. Literally NOBODY

I can't do anything in school because I'm not interested in any subject and HATE being there. I have no choice but to work a minimum wage job for the rest of my life because that's all I can do. **** anyone who decides to judge me on that because it's not my fault I was born with the skills I have.

You didn't answer my questions earlier...what are your goals for the future?  Are you in school of any kind?  Do you work?  Any hobbies, exercise?

Hon, at your young age, you should have a life full of challenges, plans and work!  I think that in itself may be an issue for you.  If you had more of a sense of growth or accomplishment, that would help you all around, your anxiety, self esteem, self worth, etc.

You're at home living with your parents, which may be fine for now....but it sounds like you aren't very proactive about getting out there and seeking things to do, or planning your future.  The only person that can do those things is you.  Take the bull by the horns!

Damn, so if an older person took opiates for awhile then their brain and body will never heal? That *****. I always thought healing was possible if you just stop taking them.

I understand what you mean by the mental challenge of staying away from them in 6 months, 1 year etc. I get that the whole point is to not get back in the trap people fall into.

I'm not sure on what to do to keep me entertained. I'm not interested in sports, school, or reading. I like energetic fun things like hanging out with friends, playing video games, and I'm not sure what else i like. I get bored sitting still on a couch watching people throw a freakin ball.
