I have 6 kids,ages:22,19,16,11,9,&6. I have been on some type of drugs since i was @13.mainly pot.As a teen i of course tried pretty much everything except heroin.I have had a pain killer addiction for about 6 yrs taking @15 or more ( a day..for awhile mixing them with...
[More] other things..I did originally start taking them for pain and then stayed on them because of no insurance to get the surgery I needed.I tried many times to quit but usually it was when I ran out so I wasn't really mentally prepared for the challenge...But now I am clean since March 7 Whoo Hooo..I have had alot of support here.3 1/2 yrs ago I made the very poor decision to go to a methadone clinic to get off the pills..That was a very very bad mistake. methadone is a horrid drug and in my opinion has the worst w/ds of them all...I went cold turkey off 65 mg..the w/ds lasted about 2 months and the worst of it was @3 weeks.but it is slow going to feel even somewhat normal..I also detoxed off xanax, very slowly and it was a success also..I feel the most important part of getting off these drugs is to have a strong mind and desire to quit,also support is a must..
