Aa
Im finaly quitting the hydro's
Im done today. I have been taking hydro's for about 6 years now. I am up to taking 12-15 7.5 a day. Before I came to college it was easy to stay on them cause my grandma and grandpa and mom were all on them and they would help me out when I ran out. But now that im an hour away from them and my grandma passed away I am having a hard time keeping enough around to support my addiction. I have a wonderful girl now and a baby on the way (March 31st) and I am tired of hunting 20 days or more out of the month for a ******* pill. Its just not worth it anymore. I have to start saving money for the baby. My g/f went to the store to get me the thomas recipe. Im starting it soon as she gets back. I have went through about 4 days of W/D at the most but never more then that so im pretty sure i'll be chatting away here in about 4 days. I hope yall can help. I havnt taking any hydros at all today. I'm just achy at the moment but I know its coming.
Thanks for all of your advice. I looks like he will be able to drop out of school to go to rehab and be able to come back in the spring. AFter the first 30 days in rehab He will be allowed to come out on weekends and they said since I am pregnant he will be allowed to escort me to all of my appt so he wont be missing out on things with the baby. He says he has not felt this good in over 7 years. Im still scared. I knmow no matter what he is going and I will do whatever it takes to make sure of it no matter how much I end up crying in the end. I wont pick him up from the facility to leave until they say so. I just still feel scared of being alone and because I have no choice but to continue working and going to school the chance of me attending any meetings or AA is slim to none. I will still see if I can find out when they are for the rare occasion in which Im of and have no homework nad cant visit him. I still feel guilty i found out he burst into tears after I told him how i was feeling and he got off the phone with me so I really did make things worse for him and for that I am truely sorry. I dont want to make things harder on him because they're hard on me. I just miss him so much already, I dont know what to do with myself to occupy my time when im not working or in school. My room is a disaster zone and I have absloutely no motivation to do anything about anything. my birthday is tomorrow and i just wish more than anything i could see him but i know that wont happen. I wont get to even see him until next tuesday and thats just because i have an appt the next wont be until the next weekend for about an hour or so depending on how much time he has earned and if he is making progress otherwise i wont see him at all. If this is so right and so improtant to continue our lives for the better why do I feel so selfish and guilty and affraid it will all fall apart. I was married to someone else before who was into drugs and it tore us up in the end. I dodnt want to lose what I have with him and I dont want to do anything to mess it up. What can I do to help him other that to make sure he stays in rehab because that is set into stone no matter how much it hurts. I want to know what else I can do to support him to the fullest of my potential? Please help!
Hey! I am (was) an addicted photographer also. Like you I got up to 12 a day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't feel guilty about your feelings... you are 100% entitled to them.
As for the hydro's, I would guess you can OD. Which is moot, isn't it? If he's getting clean?
You have new friends here, you are not alone. I think the Al Anon meetings are a GREAT idea as you will be in a room too, full of people going through very similar stuff that you are.
If you want to think of it another way, think of it as being selfish for YOU. So YOU can have a better life. Not a better couple months, or probably only days actually 'cause he'll be back on the drugs.
And if you can't do it for that and every other reason he HAS to go, do it for your child. Your child does not deserve to come into this world as a child of an addict, if you have a choice in the matter. Do it for your kid, if nothing else....

I don't honestly know. All I have is my own experience. I started out on hydro and then I found oxy's, and the oxy's is what I odd on! My fear for him is that he too might try oxy;'s and be in the same shape that I was in!
He said you cant over does on hydrocodones that its impossible is that not true?
