Hydrocodone Addiction Please Help Me!

[Celisha]

I am a 33 year old mother, no pre existing medical conditions, after giving birth last year I became dependant on hydrocodone, at first it helped the pain, then began to help with the energy, and before you knew it I was hooked, line n sinker. As of today I feel like a slave to these pills, and the mental aspect of knowing what I want and need to do seems like it would make it easy, as I have never had anything in my entire life with such control over me. I WANT desperately to be done, I want to be healthy again, for these two beautiful blessings God bestowed me with and for myself and my happiness. I take 3-4 10 mg daily, somedays less yesterday for instance I stopped at 2.5 yet woke up at 2 am suffering stomach cramps n restlessness. I have no where to turn, a treatment center is not ideal because I have responsibilities as a mother that I can't just put on hold, I  need to do this by myself at home and painless as possible( haha, right?!)  Any suggestions as what would help alleviate symptoms? I will also not be having assistance of a medical professional as far as prescriptions. I am looking for natural or over the counter help.
Thank You For Listening. Hope to find answers soon.

Hi! You sound so sweet..You just hang in here with us..You can vent or share your experiences anytime..We can walk with you in every way possible..Weather it be to help with detox or being around people that are using..Just get the info and maybe the fiance will understand this too and will not want to mess up the brain Chems anymore!!! Do you think that he would go to a AA/NA with you??It does not matter they both are good..I have not had a drink in about 8 years but I just substituted my Buzz in another way. I find that the AA have alot of caring people and the spirit just flys around the room..Since he is still on the pills he does not have to feel guilty but he sure can begin to see the light about this disease..
So you just hang tight and keep up the fight..Let us know what is going on..OK..
Bless

Thank you on the for your support. And for the info, I am worried about my relationship with my fiance also, and I am looking into the information you suggested. Also I went out and bought D-3 last night. The support on here is unbelievable and to be honest is the only support I am getting, but that's okay. Thanks again for your words of encouragement, advice and just simply the time you took to think about me. It's awesome. :)

Hi Girl..You got some great Info from my Buds above you..I just wanted to add a few more experiences here..After the Baths I would get under a Heating Blanket..It helped with the aches & sleep..I came off of 3 meds at once and Methadone was one..So the bones ached too!! You sound like you are strong and I am proud of you..But I am a little concerned about your other half having the pills around..I would like you to look up all the information regarding "The Disease of Addiction and the Pleasures Pathway" You can order videos too!! I am no spring chic and have been using on & off since I was young..SO This information is keeping me safe today besides my God and Meetings.OH Ya I notice that FourJays did not say anything about the D-3..She turned me onto taking more and it helped a bit with the emotional thing...You just hang tight we will be here if needed..You might have some weakness and sleep issues down the line but it will pass..just let us know..OK

Yes I amazed to hear so many ppl feel exactly what I feel, and saddened that so many have to suffer the wrath of addiction. Peace to You also. :)
