First Try First Day

[coconuts27]

I have been addicted to norco 10/325 for almost two years. I never thought I had a problem because I only took 2-3 a day. In the last two months, I have added cocaine to my problems. I have only decided to quit because i want my ex boyfriend back. I know I should do it for me, but I wont deal with the wd sytmptoms just for me. This is the first time I ever tried to quit. Im already getting stomach cramps and a headache. I know it will get worse. He offered to bring me some pills. I want to quit, but dont know if I can handle it. Is there any way to make this easier? Or should I just take the pills? Please help.

welcome to the fourm ,
You might want to look into something like NA ..It will help to have a good support system in place . You can get clean and get your life back it wont be eay and there will be many bumps in the road but you can do it .

I'm heartened to hear you want to do this for you, good choice. With the meds in the house the temptation will be great to reach for them, since you have and are picking up the things you need for the recipe to detox do you think your bf could take them back, just so their not so easily accessible? We are a pulling for you, stay on the forum day night it dose not matter some one will be here. Talk or vent or even scream, we are all ears. Will be looking for you Limbo

You guys are so sweet and so right. I have to do this or my life will never amount to anything. He brought the pills but I put them up for an emergency. I looked at the recipe and told him what I needed from the store. Ive got zanax and seroquil. When I really start feeling like **** I'll go to sleep. Hopefully it wont be so bad since I only took a few pills a day. We'll see. I know it will be worth it in the end though. Thanks guys.

I agree completely with Cathy on this one.  I hope you do look at the Thomas Recipe and I also hope you will do this for YOU not the boy, not us, not the cat, but you have to do it for you or it just won't work!  Please do some serious soul searching on this one.  I have done some really unacceptable, stupid things for guys.  It is SO not worth it honey, you are worth it though.

yeah definitely do not take the pills...uv already started withdrawing so just ride it out and deal with it....u right when you said you should be doing it for you....thats the only way to do it otherwise you seriously just will not follow through...u might for awhile, but most likely you will eventually relapse. Doing it for your boyfriend is the wrong reason to quit. Im not saying if you quit now u will start back up...I hope you don't...I'm just saying your more likely to relapse than if you were doing it for you.I got one word for you. EXERSCISE! Do alot of this and you will be amazed at how much better you feel. You won't feel all the way better but a little better. Also increase the hell outta your water intake. And get out in the son as much as possible, don'stay in-doors all the time, it will just make the withdrawals last longer. I wish you the best and ggod luck Cathy :)
       Peace and love

Sweetie, do it now before your life is ruined. I lost so much in my life and I went from Opiates to Cocaine also and it ****** my life up in every way. If it is too hard to do it Cold Turkey (CT) why don't you try tapering. CT is likely the best way though to just get it over with.

In order to stay off them for good maybe you should check out an NA meeting. Or AA which is the same since addiction is addiction. I actually like AA better even though I am an addict.

Good Luck!

Thank you. I am going to look at the recipe. I want to quit. Sometimes I wonder if I stay with him so I have access to the pills. I dont know what I want. My life, my head is so screwed up right now. I quit my job, quit school, and gave my kids to my mom. All in two months, when I started using coke. I am so much better than this, I gotta get it together. Thank you.

no dont take the pills...it will only put off the inevitable.  you should quit, not if you are only quitting to get him back, what happens if it dont workout?  will you go back to using?  and you are doing pills and cocaine?  you need to evaluate your life and get your priorities in order before its too late.  there is the thomas recipe int he health pages here that will help some with the w/ds.  good luck
