Im a 25 year old mother of two wonderful kids and im addicted to painkillers. I wanna quit sooo bad but i need them to just feel normal now. I was prescribed lorcets 10/650 two years ago after an injury and it has completely ruined my life!!! Any help on how to get off of them would be greatly appreciated.

Those pills are giving you a false sense of security.  They are actually doing you much harm.  Is your job demanding?

Ok. You really can do this. And one very important thing - and I don't mean to upset you - but don't use your kids, being a great mom, as an excuse to use. I DID. I thought I was a better father on the pills and that's what my kids deserved, when in fact they deserved the real me, not high, not chasing pills, not with my head constantly in the fog. By the way, my three really love the clean me. We do so much more together and I can appreciate them more than ever.  
Your kids need and, as you just said, deserve so much better. If need be, start off getting clean for them, then ultimately do it for you.  
We will be here every step of the way.

You have been given great advice and just to let you know many of us here are parents and I used to also think it made me a better Mommy boy was I wrong . I am clean now and My kids just Love me being the Mommy I am now . I never did stuff with them I went to work came home and laid in bed threw dinner together and did just what I needed to do and nothing more Makes me very sad to think of all that now. But i did something about it I took my life back and gave my kids the best gift in the world Their Mommy back!

Make a plan you can do this Get rid of your Pill source and I mean get rid rid of it because on day 2 and 3 you will be hearing the voice just 1 pill wont hurt it will help get over this hurdle and it WONT! Start making some healthy changes start exercising Take Vitamins drink water get those Toxins out and with exercise it will help to get back those endorphins and each day you will see it does get better the physical part and then there's the mental part. I would strongly recommend an aftercare program i go to group 4 people and we meet 2 to 3 times a week and we are all addicts.
i tried NA and I just like smaller group setting for me it worked .
The first week it will all be physical and there are a few things that will help Immodium,Stomach issues, water gatoraid, Ensure protein drinks , melatonin for sleep. And keep posting on here you will get lots of support and advice. each day will get easier but to win the battle you must fight the war first and Like I said keep posting this forum is great you will get the help you need.
good luck and I hope to see more post and I am here to help! :)
