Last 10/325 mg 2 hours ago

Hi,

I just took my last pill this morning at 8:30am.  My horror story started 16 months ago when i blew out my back.  I was prescribed hydro 10/325 every 6 hours as needed for back and leg pain.  6 months later the hydro stopped working and i was prescribed oxy 10/325 every six hours.  To make a long story short i reached 10-12 pills a day for the past 12 months.  I know I have a problem and a few months ago i tried to stop but i could not make it past day 2.  I am scared and feel lonely even though i am part of a family of 5.  I dont know what to do for I have run out of pills and feel like i will never make it thru the withdrawal process.  Can somebody please help me and give me an idea of what i can expect the next 5 days???  just a small timeline of when things will get better will help.  Does the Thomas recipe work??  please any help will be appreciated.  I have a family and I am scared to death.  PLEASE

Hey Dude congrats on day 6 the phyical withdrawals  should start to get a lot better  your doing great ....as I have said b/4 this is 1/3 phyical and 2/3rds mental...I am not trying to down play how hard the phyical part is but rather prepare you for the mental mindscrew .....the mindscrew is what drives you to use again....aftercare is a critical part of recovery...the statistics show that less then 10% will make it without aftercare time to start hitting the meetings....I know it is out of most peoples comfort zone and  most are scard to go to there first meeting  you dont need to speak  just go and lissen...with time you will start to realize the similarity in all addicts and that your not alone...it will also give you some place to share where the people will understand  get to a meeting and please post to break the fear for others that are still on the fence about going

Bella,

I almost can't believe I made it this far.  Seems like a million miles away.  Even my wife says I look diff and my eyes are bright white.  Energy is low, but I keep as busy as I can even if I'm tired.  Really happy with day 6 :)  tomorrow will be a week :)  10 days my next goal.  Take care and thanks

First....Way to go!!!!!! DAY 6!!!! It was when I saw those improvements that I knew I was on my way. And meetings sound like the perfect next step if you are thinking about pills. Just remind yourself....those thoughts will pass but remind yourself what you don't want to go back to!  You are kicking butt!

Day 6!  Slept from 9pm-2am and 3 am til 6am :) feel myself getting better.  Talk it over with my family and today I will look for a local N/A metting.  I don't want this feeling of accomplishment to fade.  I do think of the pills and that's scary.

i have a question.  is it possible i damaged my liver the past 16 months taking oxycodone?  now i am starting to worry about that after reading some threads?  Or, would that take years of use?
