I need to share this....I became addicted to Lortab 10s after giving birth to my daughter via c-section. Well, actually I was prescribed 30 Percocet, but those didn't last long and I was able to attain 10s almost constantly for a while. They helped so much with my pain, especially all my new mommy pains. I mean, I did gain almost 75 lbs. when I was pregnant. And I've never been a very energetic person, and that was the greatest thing about them. I could finally feel good and productive as a new wife and mom. Honestly not knowing that these are addictive, I became a monster........just unbelievable, not me at all. They were so easy for me to get. After about 6 or 7 months, I was not going anywhere but my parents' (for pills), I stopped answering calls from my best friends, and had many close calls with losing my husband and daughter. When my money or supply would be gone for a short while, I would search for my father's pills and steal a handful, even though I KNEW he would know, snatched money from his wallet any chance I got. The one time in my life that my mother finally got a good amount of money in her bank account, I would steal 2 or 3 hundred dollars every week from her atm as I was running errands for her! I am a terrible person for that, I know that wasn't the real me, but I hate myself for everything I've done. Well needless to say, I had left my father's pills alone because he caught me quite a few times, threatening to never interact with me again. But the obvious reason I didn't need his is because I could get my own at the time, because a few weeks ago when I ran out, I couldn't stop myself from finding his and going nuts. My father rarely takes his, just hides them from me...He made the mistake of trusting me again because over a period of two weeks I went back into my dad's bottle and stole at least 50 Hydros. I knew he was gonna know, so I figured if I was already going to be in trouble with him I might as well take more. I could not control myself, I knew what I was doing was wrong on so many levels. It took him awhile to find out, but when he did he cut off all ties with me. This happened about 2 weeks ago, after my father found out, I decided it was time to quit. I'd said I was going to quit many, many times over the past 16 months I've been addicted, to my mother, who knew I was spiraling downward, with a little help from her occasionally...my amazing husband, who I've loved since high school and who I've also tortured with my addiction. I never tried to quit......I became a heartless, cold thief and liar. I feel like I have to share this here because my parents still don't know how much I've stolen from them and when my mother tries to console me during withdrawals, I can't really talk to her, she has no idea. I am so ashamed. My mother has always been my best friend, I was OUT OF CONTROL! She could never forgive me if she knew what I had done to supply my habit. Well today was my daughter's 1st birthday, my father did not come to her party, and I haven't had an opiate in 13 days. I feel semi-positive, but I was hoping my agony of withdrawals would have been over by now. The first couple days I quit, I had some Ultrams, which are non narcotic and worked wonders. I felt great. But then when I ran out of those, I was back to the sweats, weakness, and pain. Depression was apparent also...a couple days later, I got some Adderall to get through my daughter's 2 birthday parties over the weekend, and just so I can function at home. They give me great energy, but I still have some pain and bad sweats. I have one Adderall left and it seems like I can feel my body getting weaker already. Why is my detox taking so long? I've searched on the web, but this is the only site that is helping me as you are reading this. I need my old self back, I have a toddler and a husband to take care of. I wish to god I could afford a rehab clinic so I could get away for awhile, and be able to recover without worrying about life. This is so hard to do on my own. Are there any home remedies that could speed up the process? I'm afraid I won't feel so positive in 2 days when I have nothing but pain and no one to help me while my husband works. I have no time to lay in bed for a few weeks and recover, and we definitely don't have the money or insurance to get myself some real help. I've got to get better soon and I don't know any other way but medication. I want to be able to take NO kind of pill! When will it end? I hope whoever reads this has either learned something from my story.........or has some positive words and answers for me. Thanks for letting me share my story. God bless all!
