Hi!    I was addicted to Fioricet for most of my life. No kidding...   I've been clean from them for almost two years.  I understand all about it: it gets in your head and you really do need to keep taking them to feel normal, it's the first and last thing you do every day, you know you'll die without them, never recover, don't want to give them up,on and on....I know.

How long have you been taking them? What other meds are you taking?

I'll be here for awhile...

Struggling with this off & on for approx 8 years....just hoping this new DR/addiction specialist is the right one for me & I can beat this!  My husband is proud of me for telling him ( this time around ) & is supportive, but it's nice to talk with someone about this particular addiction.  He used to binge drink a lot & has been doing great for about a year now.  He also encouraged me to get on here for support from other addicts :). We have a 5yr old daughter that needs her Mommy around!

I too feel your pain- physical, mental, emotional, etc.  I have had multiple surgeries, injuries & other medical ailments as well as personal tragedies too.  Don't worry about the novel- I completely empathize with you & living in world of darkness for much too long.  Thanks for responding & hang in there...it *****!  Especially relapse, asking for help instead of pretending everything is fine, and feeling like a loser failure.

You dont have to feel ashamed here.  We all know how you are both feeling.  I came here feeling the same way, that was almost 4 yrs ago.  Today i have my life back and it is better than it ever was.  There is always hope......dont worry about writing a novel, you need to get it all out.
