I am now on day 2 and i am going crazy...i am digging through drawers to find anything and everything and i feel like i am going to flip out and the bad things is my kids are home for spring break!! what do i do!


i am very nervous about being in here..but i am 27 and i have 2 small kids.i had a teeth desiese that caused alot of pain and for almost 2 years i was on 750 of vicodin and percocet and i had my mouth taken care of but i found my self wanting and getting more vicodin and percocet and tylenol 3 i want to quit becuase of my kids but i feel like i will flip out and take it out on them.my husband has no clue only my friend and she is not able to help me go through this.i am on day 1and i have not had anything in almost 24 hours.I did have to take a 1/2 of xanax that i have been prescribed for the past 1 year and that helped calmed the edgy and mood down...what can i do .i only took 2 pills a day i usually took 1/2 in the am then 1/2 after lunch and then 1/2 about 2-3pm and then  the other 1/2 later.i did not think i was addicited because i was off them for 2 weeks before and never had a problem but then after i ran out i discovered i was asking friends if they had any.and now i dont know..my legs hurt i am moody and all...please

Thanks for posting.  I too was afraid once I got off these narc pain meds what would happen if I had to have surgery again.  I am in need of some major dental work too.  But if I do get ANY kind of meds I will only take for 3 days.  Because in reality, for most dental stuff you only need them for just 3 days.  If it is OVER 3 days, something is wrong.  We now know that and admit it!

I'm SO STINKING proud of you!  That's fantastic!  Did you go back and read your first posts?  What a complete 180!   That's awesome sister.  It does feel good to have your temptation tested and pass with flying colors, BUT (there's always a BUT isn't there...) be AWARE! It can be sneaky.  Keep counting,  keep your head up, keep your head up!  Keep your spirits high-naturally!

day 33 wooo hooo!!!
I did it....I am very proud of myself...I went to my moms today and found that she had a bottle of pills...of lortab. when i was on vics she would always make some excuse of pain to ask me for one just about everyday and i gave her them.and then she started saying her arm hurt and she went to the doctor gave that excuse and he gave her lortabs..i took them at first (before going through my wd's)i said shoot she took them from me ill take hers..she knew it ..and then i went through wd's (now day 33)and she hid her pills and told me she was off them because she did not want to go through what i just went through...and still go through,she was prescribed tylox about 2 years ago fro her heart surgery and she had about 20 refills...i mean she had a good reason to have them but after about 7 months the doctor quit giving them to her and then i went on vics and percs for my mouth for over a year and then she started wanting mine.well i went to her house today and i dropped something on the couch and it went under the cushion and i pulled the cushion up and there they were a bottle of lortabs 5mg.i never liked them 5mg was to low...lol..but guess what i laughed and then got worried because i know she is hooked just like me and i wanted to say something but i left it alone because i want to see if she gets a refill or not to see how fast she goes through them like me.BUT!!! i did not touch them i put them back under the cushion and walked off.i am proud of myself and worry about my mom.she works for a lawyer and boy he is a jerk and my dad can be an a** so i think she uses them and makes excuses to get them for the cruch and i think because of my husband trying to kill me and being bipolar (him)and the temper and all he has i used mine as a cruch also after i had my dental surgery.UGH!! i know i am rambling but i have been here with all of you for 33 days and you are like my family and i know you will say something to help..Bad thing is i may go one vics soon only because i have to have more dental surgery..i have handle the pain and got this far and my husband says if i have to have the surgery he will help me and never leave me with the pills,,,but im worried..thanks for listening

I'm so glad you made it this far. Another great thing is that you didn't have to go on sub and you are that much further along. To show people that you can detox without sub or methadone although I know some cases requiere it. Just stay vegalant, drug addiction usually doesn't just go away by itself. all the best
