Almost there!

Well, I have almost made it to my first goal. Tomorrow I is my birthday, and I will be 28. Also, tomorrow is 30 DAYS CLEAN. (I didnt plan it that way, it just happened) I am still having really bad soreness in my calves, aand some days I feel horrible, but overall I am wonderful and loving life. I got a promotion at work and am LOVING my new job. I instruct english at a college. I told everyone I dont care what you get me for my b day or if anyone even wishes me happy birthday; the fact that I am 30 days clean on my birthday is enough of a present for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Time to get ready for work! :) YAY ME!!!

I am trying to get off of hydrocodone10/650 I have been on it for more than 10 years. My dr put me on it for severe pain. I want to stop soooo bad. I have told him this and he said I will just suffer in pain continue to take them. Only to find out he was recently arrested for selling oxys to pt that didn't even exist . I have wanted to stop for years and every time I put a pill in my mouth I say u are the devil and cry. I can't go to rehab or tell anyone my family would disown me. I was scared to even post this. I trusted my dr and this is what he did to patients. It's 100percent my faulty for taking them though. Every 1-2 months I go for my checkup and he just writes them when I question him he again said I would suffer, now I'm afraid someone will knock on my door after investigating him now and being arrested they will see he wrote me all these scripts these years.i was in a coma and severe health prob but still have pain at times were do I get discrete help and should I be afraid for being his patient all these years and him giving me this stuff?? I want to be healthy again plz help and tell me how to get off them I'm afraid I will have seizures thank u so much for listening

Well look at all you have going on! Congratulations on 30 days (tomorrow). Happy Birthday and Congratulations on your promotion!!! Isn't life good when we put the drugs down?

Enjoy your time and all the gifts of sobriety. Keep on going forward.

And yes, sometimes a symptom or two will linger. It will go away and it will get better as long as you don't use so hang in there!!
