TO GET OFF OF VICODINE IS NOT EASY. U NEED FAMILY SUPPORT. U NEED NO STRESS AND A QUITE PLACE. AND A REHAB. CHOSE THE RIGHT ONE. THERE ARE SEVERAL.DO RESEARCH. IF YOU ARE MARRY AND YOUR PARTNER NOT THERE FOR U IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE THE PARTNER MIGHT OF HAVE DONE SOMETHING THTA U HAVE STOOD BESIDE THEM WHEN THERE HAVE DONE THINGS WRONG IN THEIR MARRIAGE. NO ONE PERFECT. FIX THE PROBLEM. YOU GET MARRIED FOR BETTER OR WORST.
your husband lie t u because he an addict. u should of stood beside him an help him and show him love and he has someone to get well for.
find him a rehab. be there 4 him. he was ashame, that why he lie. it not like he was cheating on u.
You actually cane do this at home with out anyof that "stuff". People do it everyday. You will be sick though. BUT it is very much like the worst flu youve ever had so that could be your excuse for being sick.
Be strong! IT CAN BE DONE! Good Luck!
wow, for an x herion addict you are really harsh on the junkie at the addiction doctors office
thats something to look at
sorry....that threw me off topic
as far as lying to your husband, i will tell you this,
my husband lied to me for a long time about being clean off methadone, he even picked up chips in na, claiming he was clean
when i finally drug tested him and found out he lied to me, i was so mad i kicked him out, and told him what he had to do to come home,,,,detox and 3 months in a recovery house
if he would have just been honest and said, i am sick, i cannot quit, will you help
i would have held his hand through all that, but i was so angry he lied to me
i am glad that you found a doctor to give you comfort meds....they will not take away the pain or discomfort of opiate detox, but they will treat some of the symptoms
now as far as the "blocking agent" goes...are you being prescribed revia?
you are safe to be honest here, and i am sure that your family will also be supportive,
i have one suggestion read the chapter "relaspe in recovery" you can find this chapter by googling na basic text online, its wonderful information, you will see that there are 2 pages in this chapter that address your specific situation
definantly let us know what "blocking agent",
xo
No I made it very clear that I was not interested in Suboxone....or anythign like that....I think it is a drug that flushes your body out of opiods......but your right...I am not sure. I will call on Monday to request to know exactly what she is planning on putting me on!
well from what people have told me the pain killers are harder to come off of than the heroin. you really should not be ashamed of your addiction. it is an easy trap that so many have fallen into and from all walks of life.
it really is much easier if the people around you know and understand what you are going through. but that is your choice.
i don't think i like that 'blocking agent' the doctor wants to put you on. better find exactly what it is. if it is the suboxone you will really need to learn all the facts about it before taking it. it is even easier to get addicted to and much harder to come off of than vicodins. it is still an opiate. i have only heard of a couple people using it succesfully so far. most end up addicted to it and on it for months and years and what a mess.
i quit by weaning down first for a month to like one pill a day. my withdrawl was very smooth and doable. clean for 13 months now and no struggles at all or depression. i think it hits you harder when you quit cold turkey and those are the ones getting the bad depression afterwards. well it is quite a shock to the body and brain.
best to you and keep posting.
