Tired of this need advice

I am 22yrs. old and have been taking 12 to 18 10mg hydrocodone daily for about two months. Today I have taken 10 and the two prior days I had 8 each day. I am a father of three and also raise my sister. My sisters father died when she was three and our mother just passed away on Feb.19. That is how this started I was on 30 mg adderall daily and it helped tremendously the next doctor visit after the passing of our mother my doctor took me off the adderall because of blood pressure. I was so down I need to get my mind off of it so I started the hydrocodone only 5 or 6 daily then it got worse I have a beautiful wife and family and cannot hurt them anymore. I am looking for support, advice, and what to expect. Anyone willing to write back please do

I don't think its grief what's done is done I miss my mother but that wont bring her back. My problem is feeling so close to God and inspired about life and then watching it evaporate before my eyes its crazy

everyone has good and bad days, that is just part of life. we need to learn to deal with life on its terms. you are doing great. please keep your head up and continue to put one foot in front of the other.

congratulations you are 44 days cleans. that is awesome. there are a couple major milestones during detox. they are 30,60 & 90 days. you already passed one of them.

please make sure you are eating healthy food, exercising, taking vitamins.

it is important that you set up counseling with a therapist and also with your pastor. i believe you still have grief issues that you have not fully dealt with.
you have alot on your plate. you are very young and have a ton of responsibility. you are moving in the right direction.

going back to pills is not the answer, remember that.......

please get involved in a support group. did you check out the celebrate recovery website???

hun please post more regular so we can continue to encourage you and support you.
sending hugs,hope,trust,prayers,encouragment

I take about 10. 10mg norcos everyday and I really need to quit for my family since its already cost me my marriage. If I quit cold turkey and after 24hrs take a 10 mg methadone to get thru the wds will it help me? I have three methadones total with no way of getting more. Will I withdrawal from the little amount of methadone? And yes I know methadone is bad but I just can't do it cold turkey!

I'm not sure what happened one day I just lost all my drive. I had finally felt like God was with me every second of every day. I felt a huge bond with him. I have always wanted to feel that way. I understood everything at church and I could finally see the big picture. I was happy everyday and nothing could rattle me then one day it just stopped. I wish you all could realize how much it meant to me to feel like that. Now I am at the point I was before I started taking the pills but I do NOT have any desire for them which is a good thing. And once again any advice would be great and Thanks to EVERYONE for the concern.
