ROCK BOTTOM EXISTS...
Hi guys!
Im 26 and I never thought I would be writing on something like this but I had an experience recetly that I want to share...
I tried percoset about 1 year ago because I had surgery and needed them...but then somehow convinced by doctor to give me another script... once I realized that I was counting the hours until I could take my next dose I knew I had a problem but didnt stop....
Unfortunately I had some bad peopel around me at the time who had access to harder stuff like Roxys and Oxycodones! I am so close to my mom and hated the deception, but I went for it, figured it would help me enjoy law shcool a little more and Ill stop "next week"... it was always "next week"... this went on for over a year, and finally, after getting more and mroe pills thru WAY illegal ways. I broke up with boyfriend, had business issues, started a new law school, missed my friends, etc...but pills ARENT the answer... I decided to get off them because i hated the deception and I didnt even feel like myself anymore!!! I stopped going out, and doing all the things I always did with my friends!!
My friend suggested SUBOXONE so withdrawl wouldntbe bad, and it worked, but the prob was that it blocks ur receptors so that if u even TRY to take an oppiate while on it you will go thru withdrawal symptoms even worse and will DEF not feel any high...
My luck, 4 days after I started my secret detox, I was taken to emergency room for major intestinal scar! My mom came with me and i finally had to admmit what i was taking and what I was on (because i didnt want any conflicting meds..)- turned out they gave me morphone over and over again for the major pain i had and it only made the pain WORSE!!!!! turns out the combo of the 2 coudl have KILLEED me if i was on a higher dose of SUBOXONE (shouldnt the docs have checked that????!!!)- needless to say, i had no pain help and have never suffered more...
I have been clean now for 27 days and my mom and I are finally developing a relationship/trust again... it was the biggest mmistake of my life and i want you people out there to know that there IS LIFE AFTER DRUGS!!! we can FEEL again and MOVE again and find things in LIFE to get us high naturally!!--
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SEE HOW WEAK YOU CAN BE IN ORDER TO REALIZE HOW STRONG YOU CAN BE. All will be ok.. stay strong out there people and if u need to talk message me on AOL at toribrooks ~Vicky

Thank you for posting your story. Congrats on the 27 days!!!!!! sara
congrats on getting your life back...And thanks so much for sharing your story...It can help many here, or lurking!
Thank you for sharing your story with us! Congratulations on your 27 days. I'm sure it was a huge relief to tell your Mom. I hid my addiction from my husband and didnt' tell him until after I was clean. However, I'm so glad I did b/c he is so supportive when I have difficult times etc. He also holds my pain meds for me that are RX'd for an injury.. even though I have no desire to abuse them I'm not willing to risk a weak moment...so he is in charge of them.
Keep up your great work on staying clean!
