I need help

[CHELL388]

I have been taking pain pills for 10 years off and on and so was my husband and he decieded he wanted to stop he has great will power me on the other hand not good at all. I get so mean and I don't even want to get out of bed sometimes not even to shower i know that sounds bad thats why i am reaching out for help he will leave me if i can't quit. I have 7 left and he said thats it. i don't want to lose him but i know me and this will be the hardest thing i have ever done. I want to go to rehab but if i do my probation officer will revoke me he has no time for drug addicts, and i really don't want to go back to prison for 5 years. you can talk to me through here or email me ***@****, but someone please help!!!!!!!!

BELIEVE ME.  IF I CAN QUIT YOU CAN.  it is hard, and the addiction plays powerful mind games with you.  you just have to be determined that you will not use..NO MATTER WHAT.  using is no longer an option for me...when that thought enters my mind i know i wont use.

It will be hard. But that does not mean impossible. After trying a lot of times  - I finally just quit the things. If i had found this site earlier it may have been easier - give us some more information. which pills? how many? for how long? Any other issues that you feel are affecting your position? Dont worry about the scared part. Its quite human to be scared of the unknown. So I feel that education and knowledge are of primary importance. Familiarity removes the unknown from the equation..................

hi chell, sonds like you dont have many choices here.  question is do you REALLY want to quit?  or is just because hubby gives no other choices....truth you really have to want to quit and then at best it is hard as heck.  you can attend NA meetings, even if you cant go to rehab.  how many and what kind of pills are you on???  there is great support here and many of us have overcome the pills...check out our profiles..
