Hi, There are so many new people here , most struggling or deciding to get their life back....I just thought it would be nice for everyone here who has made it through to write something to give then something to look forward to...And just maybe it can help them get through at least today...
I will start first with
DOC was lortab 10 mg, cough medicine w/codeine, or any opiate i could get ( except OC's, methadone, suboxone)..
years abuse was 3 yrs
Amount i was taking was about 15 a day sometimes a little more, somedays a little less...
Went C/T  and I will have 9 months on the 4th of June.....

Wanted to bump this up. It is great to hear other peoples stories of how they became addicted.  It just helps knowing that we are not alone in this...........

Great to hear everyone's stories. I started Vics/tylenol3 whatever I could get my hands on due to a torn rotator cuff and bad arthritis pain about 3 years ago. Used to get codeine shipped in from Canada, Spain, etc. until I got scared because border control opened up  the packages and found the pills and sent me a letter that it was illegal. Also found a few websites on here that were more than willing to send me 90 hydros/mo. if I faxed my medical records and paid for a consult with some foreign doc (supposedly) that just asked me what I wanted and sent it to me. Did that for 2 years....so easy to obtain. Finally I got to the point of financial ruin and tired of waking up everyday worrying about where I would find the next pill or the $ to pay for it and going thru withdrawals all the time. Got so sick of that.  Found a Bup doctor a few months ago and here I am doing very well on it and looking forward to the day that I can get off of them and be totally FREE!

As is Endocet for Percocet?  And Oxycodone (HCL) for Roxicet, as with Oxycodone ER and Oxycontin?  Just name brands?  I never liked hydro's much liked oxycodone much better, I guess that its all the same, but I feel like Oxycodone itself is stronger and more of a downer, I always got an up from hydro's just IMO.

I am not sure on this, but i think norco is just the brand,  like lortabs is watson...

I have one question, I see a lot of people saying their DOC's were Norco's, I heard that they really didn't do anything compared to lortabs, or vics, and nothing like percs.  Care to elaborate, I ask you all in confidence that this isn't a sore subject or trigger for anyone and we can talk about it.
