Question about roxicet addiction

I have been addicted to the little blue pill for a month now and am trying to quit. I want to ask how bad will my w/ds be? Also can you give me some good tips on how I make the w/ds more tolerable?


     Thank you so much!

i slipped up today. I'm very disappointed in myself but i know I'm getting back on schedule tomorrow. This is the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. its insane to think last year at this time i was in the same position and then i overdosed and you would think i'd stop it right there but i couldn't help but pop roxi's again. i dont know what im doing with myself here and i feel so guilty for what i'm doing. i'm no depressed or suicidal so don't get me wrong here i just...im extremely disappointed in myself. please keep offering me the help i need guys, everyone here has been a great support system as well as giving me good advice so thank you and please bear with me i'm trying as hard as i can. im going to kick this habit soon im really shooting for middle of the month next month with the tapering. i tried cold turkey and it was so hard yesterday i was getting hot and cold flashes as well as sweating balls the whole day. the anxiety and complete irritability was too much to bear i couldn't help but go out and get 3 of those evil blue pills to suppress the w/ds. then today i slipped up and rather than stay on my 2 pill taper schedule i couldnt hold myself back from taking three today. ugh i dont know what to do with myself i can't deal with me right now. =/, again thank you to everyone thats been helping me out i couldnt ask for better people to get me trough this so like i said please stay with me here.

I haven't read this whole thread.  I only read that you have been addicted a month.  

A month?

wow!  That's a long time fool!

Okay, I'm playing with you.  You are so lucky and intelligent to know that only after 1 month you may be entering a problem.

I wish I would have been like you.

You've come to the right place to read people's profiles (like mine) stay here, and fix yourself.

Congrats!  I wish I could have been like you.

But, sobriety is awesome. People's choice.  U have one.  Take it sweetie. Luv & Hugzz
