Day 3, Norco free

[MsHelper]

Well, I'm back. Back on this site, where I was almost a year ago, using, with full intentions of stopping Norco 10/325, 5-8x per day,permanently. That obviously did not happen because here I am, again, because I was using & I have been for about 7 years. I feel ashamed that this drug has such control over me. I work, I'm married but that's IT.I have not truly been living life, ONLY EXISTING! That's a very sad sad realization to admit, ya know. It also adds to the hypocrisy, since I'm a social worker & deal with kids & their incompetent parents on a daily basis. But hey, who am I to judge because look at my own life. I pray to God that this is the final straw. I pray that I may be able to have a child now, now that my body is healthy & free of those toxins. I'm also 35 & don't have all the time in the world. Please pray that I may have the strength & willpower, or whatever it takes, my personal belief being God, to not use pills again. HEY,  I'm on day 3 clean, so it's a start! Blessings to all~

I am in a similar situation. I'm coming off a few month habit after having years of clean time. I graduated with a Masters in May of this year and have a job similar to yours. It's not a good feeling to be in a position where it feels like we should know better but these pills have a way of grabbing some of us. You are farther along than I am. I'm on the last few days of not exactly a taper but just taking enough to get through work and trying to be a mom. I start my actual clean day one on Saturday. It's scary and hard but I've done it before so I can do it again. Prayers are being sent your way! Thanks for posting. It's good to hear from others going through it right now! Happy thoughts and good vibes coming your way! You can do it!

Thx for asking. Well, I first became honest with members in my family. I took week & .5 off work to withdrawal, clear my mind, pray a lot, asking for some guidance. I believe I'm going to start attending a local program called Celebrate Recovery. I went once before & it was very moving. Those are a few of the plans so Far! But thank you for asking! Blessinfs~

Good luck to you best wishes. I will pray for you to stay clean and for you to get the baby u want. But please make sure you are clean for a while before you try to get pregnant trust me I know from experience it's horrible to be pregnant and addicted. But it can be a very good driving force to change your life for the best. Good luck to you      and many prayers will come your way I'm sure

Welcome back and Congrats on 3 days clean!!  What are your plans for aftercare?

Good luck and you can do it.  I think a lot of it is in the mind and how bad you want it.  If you are determined to have children then that could be a good driving force to keep you on track.  This is a good place for advice and support so I think you can do it!
