Hydro detox

[HELPlessinMO]

To: Anyone -
It started out innocent enough -
I had hydro prescribed for a surgery, then continued to take them even after -
I went from getting 60  month to 120, in addition to buyin gthem off teh streets. I went through over 1000 - 10/325 in 3 weeks.
I HAVE to stop!!
It's been a bit over a year now and aside from trying to hide the financial burden from my husband & children - I want to be clean. I'm scared.
I was addicted to nalbuphine several years ago, and remember the pain of coming off of that - and swearing to myself I would NEVER let that happen again, after being clean for 5 years, here I am.
Monkey on my back again and scared to death to detox, or the possibility of not having them. They are my safe haven. I take them for energy to clean house & chase after 3 kids, I take them to calm down when I am upset, I take them when I'm bored just to take them??!
Its nothing for me to take 20-30 a day. They DO NOT get me high at ALL - they make me feel normal, which I know isn't really normal -
PLEASE someone give me words of strength & wisdom to stop.
Walk me though what to expect, day by day.

Yes....you do have to stop. Neither Hydrocodone, nor any other narcotic, was intended for emotional pain. Or for housecleaning or kids activities. At least you understand a lot of it. It is not normal to take narcotics in able to feel normal. May not have a lot of strength or wisdom...but I understand what you are saying.  You may need to work on the thinking...should be a lot more concerned about the narcotic habit that will kill you - and leave your family without Mom - instead of being worried about the detox. I will submit one thing .... You need to act yourself into thinking properly - not try and think yourself into acting properly. I also took 20-30 10mg hydros per day. Detox can be done and you will survive it. And you will considerably more happy with life. Look up the Thomas Recipe and the Amino Acid Protocols - look at lower right hand side of page toward the bottom for it or toss it into your search engine. PM me anytime that you wish .... learn as much as you can about the whole process.  Keep posting with questions and for support........................ and best of luck to you!
