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.....

oh I forgot. I was using 10/650 lorcets. A few oxys,somas and xanax. A nice little coctail and drinking heavily on top of that. I am down to one beer a day and dont drink more than 3 in one day on the weekends. It seems since i've started the sub I don't have the desire for alcohol. I was taking anywhere from 20 a day at my worst of lorcets and about 12-15 regularly.

I was taking over 25 of the 10/500 lortab a day. I went cold turkey over 2 months ago (I think) and haven't looked back since. It wasn't easy but so worth it. I now feel completely back to my old self. If it wasn't for this forum and all the wonderful people here, who knows where I'd be today. For those of you that haven't taken the plunge yet, it is so worth it. Just stay strong and take it a day at a time. Best of luck to all!
