Support

My wife doesn't know anything about my issue.  Should I try to kick it alone tell her to use her support?  Any advice is greatly appreciated!  If I'm going to do this I'm going to need you all!

Good point. I think when I came clean about what I had done, the guilt slowly began to fade away and i took responsibility for my actions. For me, the guilt was always one of the worst things, it made me hate myself in active use. We do heal, just takes a lil time. Congrats on your clean time.

I tried to go C/T myself and couldn't do it alone. I hid it from my wifer for over a year. She was hurt when I told her.But with her support it made all the diferance the second time around. For me the mental part of Detox was the hardest.Mostly because of the lie I hid from her.Once everything was out it the open the real healing began
.Anyway.Good luck and keep up the Good fight.

Great, glad your feeling well this fast and just think how much better your gonna feel. Do whatever it takes to stay off the pills completely now. 1 is too many and 1000 is never enough, it's so true for us addicts. Congrats man, stay strong!

I was using pain killers mainly oxycodone, about 80 to 150mgs a day!  I've only had about 70mgs of morphine sulfate since Monday so I'm doing well!  I actually feel good tonite!!

How do you think she would react? I think coming clean with our drug use is one of the best things we can do. It helps to keep us honest, well it does for me. What were/are you taking. We are all here to support each other:)
