Thank you for sharing your pain and encouraging all of us. Hydros for legit pain was how I started out, too, When I read what happened to your son, I gasped.....and thought
"there but for the grace of God go I"
Thank you so much for your post..I am so very sorry about your loss..I remember thinking many times when I was using that I might die in my sleep...Your post will help many people..This is a very serious addiction..I hope that there will be more control in how easy it is to get pain pills after injures so this won't happen to others..Big Hugs...
Sorry for the double post. I'm a dinosaur still using a typewriter.
I am reading this thread because my son died from an accidental overdose of hydrocodone last year. His addiction started with a prescription from his doctor for a sprained back. It got to the point where he was taking more and more pills each day to ease the pain until he finally went to sleep and his breathing shut down and he didn't wake up. How I wish he had found this site to give him the courage all of you have found. His wife and 3 little girls are still almost lost without him. I miss him so much my body hurts. Please continue to come here and write what you need to. Get it off your chest. Don't let the "voice" tell you that you need a pill. Please, please, all of you stay here, help each other and stay alive. Don't leave loved ones behind to wonder "what if." Be strong.
