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.

This is addicted photo's girlfriend. I have a question. Hes in the detox center and he told me earlier that hes thinking about going into rehab after which will be between 28 and 90 days. He will have to withdraw from all his classes in college and theres no telling when exactly he'll be out. That and most rehab centers only let you out for work and thats it. That means he couldn't make it to any of the doctors appts including the one where we find out the sex of the baby. I feel guilty because I don't want him to go to rehab because i want him here with me to take care of me while Im pregnant but on the other hand I want to do whatever is best for him and if him going to rehab is the best then I want him to go. I told him to do whats best for him but Im not really sure Imeant that. Im not sure I really meant do whats best for me or him. He doesn't know that i dont really want him to go and I can't tell him because I don't want him to think that I don't support him because I DO. Im jsut scared to be alone for so long without him! Please give me some advice!!!!!!!! I need to know what to do and I'm scared I want the best for me and the baby more than whats best for him. I dont want him to relapse but I dont want to be alone. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pregnant and scared girlfriend

Thanks for the support!! He really these forums and i told him i would tell him what everyone says, he wants to get off of them to better our future and im all for it! I am so proud of him for trying on his own but even prouder for accepting that he needed help and going to the place to get it. My birthday is friday and him getting off these pills is the best gift he could ever give me. He doesn't know that but its true and i love him more each day for his ambitions to be a better person for both me this baby and of course himself. HE really wants a girl and so do I but I hope more than anything that it is a girl so he gets the best reward of all, his own daddy's little girl! Thanks again all for your support and any adivce you have is always appriciated! I will give it all to him when I hear from him! Thanks from the Three of us!

Way to go!  Congrats to both of you!  This is a beginning for your whole life together!  I am not saying it will always be easy, but always remember to take it one day at a time, and you will both get through this!
