[chubbers]

ok well i have read alot of posts on here for a while now, and i think every single one of you is so brave. i really want to stop these pain pills but i am so scared of the withdrawals i cant rbing myself to do it. i take a 80 a day and 7 5mg percocets. that is a pretty high dosage im only 26 and 5'2 and a female. my husband gets them for legit pain and gives them to me. i have been taking this dosage for about a year now well almost a year. i cant stand even looking at myself anymore i stole pills from my husband at one point and he forgave me and still gives them to me. he needs them but i dont i take them bc im addicted now. we started out using them for fun but i cant even begin to think about how to stop now. i have never been addicted to anything in my entire life until now. i met another guy and i dont know if its my head that is clouded from the pilsl but he said he will do whatever it takes to get me off these pills bc he loves me more than anything and im thinking of leaving my husband and getting away from alk the pilsl and letting this guy help me, his dad is addicted to pian pills for 10 yrs now so he knows the drill.  does anyone have any advice for me?

If I were in your situation I think the first thing you need to do is to formulate a recovery plan, either with a counselor, your MD, someone who can give you professional advice. ( I am now 24 days clean from norcos 20-25 per day.) I really don't think I could have made it this far without the help of my substance abuse counselor. If nothing else, counseling is good just to vent and get an outsiders perspective.

As far as your marriage, pills can influence your decision making. I would certainly not try to make a life-changing decision such as divorce while under the influence of pills.

You also have to wonder what kind of guy this other man is. Personally, I would think a married woman with a drug problem is a bit too much baggage and drama.

Not trying to judge you, I have alot of baggage too and drama. Just don't know if I would want to start a new relationship with all of my issues, dragging someone else in to it and wouldn't expect someone to want to deal with all that. Especially if this is a new relationship.

Good luck in getting clean. Its a pain in the butt, but the rewards are great!! Keep posting your progress, I know that helped me!! Best of luck!

Advice? Quit doing the pills for fun...and i do know what you mean. Thats why I am here. Examine your life and be completely honest with yourself. But do it in a couple of weeks when you are straight. Then figure out if you want to leave hubby or not. This isn't the time to make that decision. People here will help you quit in the best manner posible. If your other friend does love you he will help and still be around.

yeah.  i took it as one 80 and then 7.5's.  otherwise if she's awake 16 hours a day, that's 5 pills per hour.  i guess it's possible, but that'd be like a friggin meal!!!  if that is indeed the case, you should get your innerds checked, chub!

did you mean 1, 80 mg oxycontin and 7, 5 mgs percocets?  you didnt mean 80 pills a day did you?  if your husband has that much to spare, then he is being overprescribed...

[checkmeout]

yes.  i would taper if i were you.  otherwise i don't think it's going to be as bad as you think.  there will be some hard days but you'll make it just fine if you really want to quit.  i agree with goingtomakeit as well.  leaving your hubby won't do much to help you stay sober.  stay away from home wreckers.  he'll do the same thing to you that you're doing to your hubby.  if you leave your husband you'll just find another way to find the pills if you still want them.  that's almost always the way it works.

You have a lot going on in your life. The first step to quitting is admitting you have a problem. Second step is to decide to quit. Why would you leave your husband? Don't do it just because someone else says that will help you. You are the one that will have to do this. I admit it is hard to be around pills but it sounds like he needs them. I would get clean before I made a divorce decision. Thats just my opinion. As for the pain pills, have you gotten your liver enzymes checked? 80 pills/day is a huge burden on the liver. You might want to taper off the dose you're on before quitting.
