Addiction - NEED HELP !!

[radioboy74]

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

Boy, you're certainly getting a lot of attention today!  We don't mind a bit sharing with you.  All of us have dreadful thoughts at times.  At least our help is free.

Thomas said that death means no hope.  True enough, Thomas. Cindi, Cindi, you are going to be just fine.  That's my hope for you.  You are going to be just fine!  Trust us.  I could sit here and bore you with all the setbacks in my own life but it's water under the bridge.  Life is a flowing thing and so is the hope that all can get better.  When your strength is ebbing and all seems so insurmountable, lean my way. I'll bouy you up and thereby gain strength myself in doing so.  Hope is us togehter!  J.B.

Ok  I won't Thomas    so neither will you...your views are very interesting and make an awful lot of sense....sometimes when we can't see straight it helps to surround yourself with people like you that keep my head glued onto my shoulders...LOL  Lea,,,,it takes a long time to heal the wounds of a love...Susan,  I can't tell you what to do sweetie,,,I can tell you this  Lea,,,you have suffered enough at the hands of this man....he has dragged you down..dragged your boys down..hurt them...hurt you....do you have good times to remember?  how many times can you count the laughter, the true love and intimacy the sharing and giving of yourself and he to you?  has there ever been any of that?  do the bad times outweigh the good?  sit down and look at the pros and cons of this relationship...many times I have todl you that you deserve so much more so do your kids....why live in misery?  and whenever you gave him a second and 3rd and 4th chance you came back to us broken hearted and angry with yourself....a vicious circle....over and over again...you have got to break the circle..stop it now....6 months   susan you have come so far......keep on going.....I had a relationship that was terrible...5 years....what a mess....i ended up in treatment and he had no clue i was even using drugs...what a great relationship we had...he'd come to my house,,,watch a movie have sex and leave.....no real caring nothing...i was worth sex, and that was it..i was a fishing buddy...it took treatment for me to realize i deserved more than that....i met my husband and for the first time in m life I realized what love is....no conditions....real honest to God love...and I was not looking for it,,it fell into my lap...and this can and will happen for you but you have got to make yourself open for the possiblity....I'm sure you care about this man, it is impossible to turn real feelings off this a faucet but,,,,in time you will begin to realize you deserve real love, a real relationship...am I making sense..?  I hope I've helped you in someway..you remind me too much of me...we go for trouble...i used to find the worse possible men for me..until I met Doug...the sex is really love,,,,the kissing and hugging are real,,,the unconditional love, no insecurities, complete and utter trust between the two of us...do you trust Mike?  no....think about this susan..My thoughts and prayers are with you.....you know I love you and will help anyway i can......love cin

Sorry to hear about your friend. That must be a terrible thing to reconcile. As far as doing myself-in goes, I won't if you won't. Besides, I have always believed that as long as you're alive, there is hope of redemption, whether that's what you want or not. Death, at least as far as this life goes, must then be the absence of hope.

hello good people:
will go into more detail later....i'm wd/detoxing off 120 mg/day
oxy-c! i did some really stupid things, hurt my wife (emotioonally)

oxy-c relieves pain. But it also cranks me up in to something like
a jabbering speed freak. when this happens it's my poor wife who
has to suffer me.

i don't know about the rest of you... but right now i think the
only things that would "fix me" would be a grain and half of
GOM (mophine sulfate), or maybe black tar heroin.

I'm so disgustaded with myself! i'm really fed uo with my inablity
to make sound decision.

sick of being a junkie/sick of physical pain

I hear ya, Kip -- I understand your concern for your wife, and I also understand your desire for something to *get rid of the pain* (Physical & emotional). A friend asked me yesteday if I'd ever tried heroin (joking.) I said, "No, but if someone offered it, I'd sure as hell take it!" I guess that makes me a bad person in some people's eyes. Oh well, **** it.
Keep that angel on your shoulder, my friend -- Milo
