Thank you Vickie and Jimi
Addiction/Dependency didn't happen over night it can't be cured over night if you want your life back from the relentless unforgiving demon you will need Strength, Courage, and Determination!!! Look to GOD for Strength, Jesus,for Courage, and the Holy Spirit 0:) for Determination. The spirit is within you,and the power is yours =0)
Strength From Above. . .

Thank you both. I will let you know how it goes.
Daisy you made a great decision reaching out for some help. Congrats on taking the first step in getting your life back! You're right- the pills change you and leave you empty. Best of luck...let us know when you go and always remember we are here for you!
Ps- I second the aftercare advice that ang mentioned above!
Yes I plan on getting aftercare. You know I do admit I enjoyed the numb feeling and not dealing with my my emotions but not anymore. I want to get clean and get help with dealing with everything.The place I'm going to have pain pill anonymous groups and I plan on going and whatever else they offer. I check in on Tuesday afternoon so I'm really looking forward to it.
Wow. Good for u on realizing u have a problem with them after a year. When We take them all we r is an empty shell. No emotions. We don't need them to run our lives.
After detox do u plan on going to meetings or get any aftercare? Its very important. I refused it for a long time and thought I could do it on my own. Always gave in to more pills. I could only white knuckle sobriety for so long. The meetings is where I found a ton of people like myself who have found whole other way to live n a freedom.
Good luck. Keep us posted. Ur not alone anymore.
Stronger than yesterday.
