Aa
I think my days of getting along on norco are over
I'm so scared, im a single mom of 2 children a professional in the medical field. Today i attempted to get a prescription filled with a forged rx from my work. As I was waiting the said they needed to verify with the doctor. I got up and left. Since then my job called me...im havent called back yet.
The withdrawal is already setting in and this feeling is exactly why I did what I did.
Is my life over? When will I be arrested. I have no criminal record at all. I'm afraid I'm going to lose custody of my children.

Hey, you can rebuild from all of this! You seem to have a great work ethic, so you will be able to find a new job. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to go into the tunnel a little more before you can see it. Stay positive as possible. Make yourself laugh. Find Youtube videos or something. Slowly, your life will start piecing together. Your story made me realize that I myself was/am an addict. Your post made me realize that I also needed help. By you sharing your story, I was able to share mine and start my journey. We are in this together :)
Stay strong and smile! I'll check on you tomorrow, good night!

Oh yeah and take things one step at a time. Don't allow yourself to get overwhelmed. You can't do more than you can do. Hugs
Listen, take some deep cleansing breaths. This is what they call rock bottom, isn't it? So, there is nowhere to go but forward and up. Try to look at this as a new beginning for you. Don't look at it as all you have lost. Time to right your ship and sail into the sun. I know I'm sounding corny, but attitude is everything. Are you taking vitamins, and staying hydrated? Try to eat healthy, and get yourself outside and breath the fresh air. It will help to clear your head. Keep reaching out for support. Maybe start a new thread? New beginning. Take care, hon. I will be keeping an eye out for you.
Hi sonrissa...im really having a difficult time. If I could regain normalcy id probably be doing great. My world is so upside down. I've never not had a job since I was 16, losing my home...and giving up my doc all at the same time is a bit much. Yes I'm soooooo glad I'm not behind bars, but it feels as though iam. I wish I had the ability to see the light at the end of this tunnel....im just so depressed :'( thank you for checking in I appreciate it....xoxo
Hey there, I was thinking of you tonight and I'm wondering how you are doing? You haven't posted in a couple of days. I hope you are still hanging in there. You are probably busy with moving and all that. Please let us know how you are when you can. Please reach out if you need some encouragement or support. We are here for you! Be well, and take care!
You are always in my prayers hun. I also have you on our church prayer chain. There is NO such thing as too much prayer.
I really think that you are in the clear as far as the legal aspect goes. Try not to dwell on it too much (I know, I know...not easy to do). You have SO much going on right now that you don't need to add even more pressure.
Take care of yourself Hun....I'm quietly praying and cheerleading for you in my little corner of the planet. xox

Hi there, I'm so glad you are starting to feel better. You should continue to improve slowly, a bit each day. There will still be ups and downs at this point. Days where you feel great, and days where it feels like day 1 all over again. I still have that even now, and it's been several months since my last pain pill. I know that the detox process takes a huge toll on your body, mind, and spirit. That is because it happens in a relatively short time period. Just imagine the toll on your body, mind, and spirit each time we take a pill. That toll happened very slowly, a little bit each day, and steadily grew over time.
Moving is stressful even under the best of circumstances, and I agree that it probably does seem very overwhelming. Take things one step at a time. Keeping busy will actually help with the withdrawals. The more you can do, the better you will feel. I am a huge list maker, and that really helps me stay focused and also gives me a sense of accomplishment when I can cross off each completed task. Plus, I am so forgetful, I need a list to remember to brush my teeth every day. :)
Take care, and hang in there. You are doing great. All the best, and good luck with the moving.

Hi everyone...im still here :) I'm beginning to feel a little stronger each day...ive finally started to get my appetite back. Its unbelievable the toll detoxification takes on your body, mind, and spirit..i really need prayers to get thru the next week. Moving is very stressful for everyone, but under my sensitive state its just overwhelming. I need both physical strength, and spiritual guidance to get me thru this. I'm so thankful that I've not yet had any legal recourse to my terrible action. However it still lingers in my mind that I'm not out of the woods. I just hope that I can regain my life back after all of this. But for now I know that staying clean is my number one priority. And without all of you that wouldn't be possible....thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support....heres to another day friends :)
Being at day 15 is amazing! Have you been taking any vitamins or supplements to help?

She said she lives in a small town.Therefore I'm going to infer that if she hasnt been arrested after over two weeks I'm 99.9% sure it will never come.My friend did it with his name on the script and the cops were knocking on his door the next day.We live in a town of 150,000.
As far as you coming this far congrats! With everything financially look into getting help. Call your town and see about assistance and programs. Hopefully the withdrawals ate getting better. They should be by now. The mental withdrawls last a long time unfortunately. Just keep saying that this to shall pass. I doubt you will have any legal issues at this point. Best of luck to you and again look into organs to help with cost of living and food. Did you lose your apartment? If not go to the welfare office. Look into local food banks.
********************************************************************************YOUR LIFE IS NOT OVER!!!!! KEEP TREKKING YOURSELF THAT OVER AND OVER. YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE OUTCOME OF THIS BUT THAT TOO WILL PASS!!!!! You probably will not do time. You will lose your job and not be able to work in that field again. Make sure if you do get arrested you have someone ready to watch your kids and have things packed for them. YOUR LIFE IS NOT OVER! Addiction makes us do stupid things. Try and get in a Program to show the judge you are trying to get help. Best of luck to you. Remember, this too shall pass.
Fantastic! Good to hear that you are through the worst of it. You aren't going to feel totally well for a little while...that's why the B-12 and B Complex vitamins help. Hang in there....get into some aftercare...you are doing awesome (you might want to start a new thread next time since this one is getting so long *grin*)
Thank you all so much!!! I'm day 15...still really feel like crap...but I know its getting better...love y'all!
I have been following your post and I just want to say congrats to your progress! Good luck with the move and be strong!
You are doing so well. I can't wait to get to 13 days clean! I hope to be were you are very soon. Keep staying strong. You can do this.
"At times I really just wanted to give up, on everything. And today I'm able to see that as being no option..."
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on Day 13!! You're doing good....in spite of all the crises that have come about in your life......
If you have any desire to learn more about addiction....I have a great web site I spent a lot of time on myself and a good video to watch. I'll be happy to share them with you.
After you get settle in at your Mom's.....then you can check out some aftercare.....new home, new habits, new ways of thinking. I'm rootin for ya!

Yay for day 13. I was just reading back on some of these posts, and I can see that I have came along way, both physically and emotionally. Don't get me wrong I'm still devastated and scared. I haven't truly faced what I will be in the next couple of weeks. Moving home with my mother....its going to be horrendous. But I now know that I have a serious problem...being an addict. God that still sounds weird to me...but I will battle for my life and someday it will become recognizable to what it was before those little pills came into it. I'm so thankful to all of you that have been keeping me close to your heart. At times I really just wanted to give up, on everything. And today I'm able to see that as being no option....so thank you everyone for your continued support..now to get off the couch today and fight for my energy ;)
Your story has broken my heart! But like everyone has said: LET THIS BE YOUR ROCK BOTTOM!! I use that choice of wording because as hard as it is to believe.... It CAN get worse. This from a divorced 46 yr old who lost her kids, her husband, her job, went through bankruptcy, was diagnosed with narcolepsy and now lives with her mom. That is my life. Those pills are your biggest enemy. Always remember that. Meetings, meetings,meetings!!! I promise you will feel better soon.better physically more soon than emotionally but girl you can do this. You remind me of myself. I look like the president of the PTA. Doesn't matter. We get just as addicted as the homeless. We are born addicts. Always will be addicts. You hang in. I'm cheering for you. I'm clean (norco 20 to 25 daily) for two years now. I look forward to hearing your progress. :)
Hey, I think what is meant by not cancelling is that it is still possibly available. I can tell you from my own experience, that the agony of detox fades and our addict brains kick in. Despite the possible negative consequences, we will glamorize pills (that the definition of addiction, btw.) If there is a possibility to get that script, in a weak moment, you could get it. There is no way I could have even a possible script in the pharmacy. I've had lots of bad days and bad moments,( despite feeling physically fine and working a program), that I have wanted pills desperately. No, you don't wanna be more stressed, and these are only suggestions based on experience.
Congrats on day 12!
Congrats on day 12!
If I don't pick up the rx...or if I call to cancel, I'm not seeing the difference? Like everyone here has said, its most likely not there anyways. I'm trying to avoid any problems...as its at my local pharmacy in a town of 3500 people...i just don't need any more stress...it will sit there...i haven't went thru all the hell that I have all on my own with nobody to help me to go back now!
Asking again: is there some reason after ALL you've been thru with losing your job and the fraud that you are unwilling to cancel the script?
