I have become addicted to Pain Medication from Lortab to Vicodin to Percocet.  I WANT OFF !  I have no more pain medication, it's all gone.  How do I become the person I want to be - PAIN MEDICATION DRUGE FREE.  I am dead serious, I need help and don't know what way to turn.  If you've been through this give me your insite.

Thank you & God Bless

I also need help badly.  I'm addicted to codeine and I don't know how to stop, I've been taking it a little over a month now and am so scared.  I can't tell my family, so I need to detox myself.  Can anybody tell me how to do this.  I would really like to know what Thomas Detox formula is.  Could someone send it to me?  My address is ***@****      PLEASE HELP ME

I'm not a man but I left my husband for a couple reasons...one was my addiction....but it was all conneted. I got us into alot of credit card debt because of my habit...he still doesn't know about that but I was having a hard time living there and knowing that he thought we had money..and we didn't!
Another reason was the times I was out of pills...I couldn't function. My hubby was from the south (and I don't mean to say that all men from the south are this way) but he was a real mommie's boy. His mother never worked so when him, his sis and father came home there was a hot meal and the house was spotless and she even ironed the sheets and their pj's. Well...I wasn't that kind of wife. I had a job...and a drug habit so he was lucky to get a grilled cheese for dinner. He would get furious when I didn't get up and fix eggs and bacon for breakfast. Hell....somedays I was doing good to get up and stagger to the bathroom! Then about 2 years ago my doctor put me on zoloft...and we all know the effect that can have on a sex drive. So that was another battle. All of this was brought on by my addiction....so if I had gotten clean my marriage would have probably survived....but I decided to stay with the drugs and leave him. My love of pain killers is deep. You would never believe the things I've done to get ahold of them.
BUT! on another note...we had no kids. If we had....I like to think I would have stayed and made it work.
Anyway...like I said...I'm not a man but this is just my input...for what it's worth.

I went to my Dr today.  Crying the blues.  He ran a blood test and some other tests.  Well, he called me later in the day and starting giving me a hard time,  asked me when and why I stopped taking my Effexor (antidepressent/OCD drug)  I told him that I haven't taken it for about 1 month or so.  Well I got the lecture that you just can't stop, and that my hormones and seratonin levels are so low that he's surprised that I can even go to work.  I did this before and forgot.  When I start feeling ok I forget to take it, and BAM! I go right back there.....I went to a meeting tonight, and then to a support group.  I am telling you when I slide back it all comes back to bite me in the ass.  I know Mike is hopeless, living with his parents, going to work (barely), hardly see's his kids, can't even get a county sticker for the van.  I forget his addiction, because he is not here.  I believe nothing has changed, he just got better at it and able to hold off or deal with the withdrawals.  I bet he is buying on the street.  How can a man almost 40 live that way?  I really thought he would try to get it together but I am wrong I guess.  He has no ambition, his hair is so long and stringy almost to his waist.  He looks so unkempt, dirty and greasy looking.  What happened to him?  He didn't look that bad when he was here.  Or am I just looking through a different set of glasses?  He looks awful, his skin is all broken out and looks so unhealthy.  He could have had it all, we had everything except his attention.  Oxy's are more appealing than me.  I will move on, but I wonder if he will ever regret all this.  Hey Milo, Thomas, JB all you guys out there.  What makes a man want pills more than a loving woman, family, home, a real life.  Why would he just walk away?  Detox wasn't that hard  on him, he went in for 5 days got clean, and back again to the pills.  I have to give up.  He has completely shut me and the boys out.  He almost acts like he hates me, than turns around and says he doesn't.  Well he has kept away, not even tried.  Will he ever?

I've gotta run to lunch to go transfer this boat title, but wanted to quickly say:
Susan, hang in there, be strong for you and your boys.  You're doing the right thing by keeping my ex away; you are just feeling loney and vunerable right now.  Please call me ANYTIME, i mean that!!!!
Cindi, I'm sorry you have been so down lately, hang in there girlie, and you too, call me ANYTIME!!!!  I will call you back on the cell if it's after 8 pm; please take me up on it if you need to talk! :)
Kip, Wow, i admire your strength, flushing your oxys.  I'm sorry you are hurting (your neck) so much!  Take care of yourself, and good luck, i know you know what is best for you! :)
