You're certainly in my prayers...it is tough, VERY tough and your absolutely right...none of us wanted or expected our injuries to happen....I know this is one of the hardest circumstances to be in, having chronic pain and to be an addict or alcoholic....if your anything like me I have serious pain that requires some kind of relief but I know in my heart I can't control how much pain meds I give myself. After so many years your body becomes so adjusted to the pain meds it seems you'll always have to take more and more just to get any kind of relief from it....it's a horrible way to be! Be strong...God never puts more then we can handle on our plates at one time...it may be tough but you'll make it through. Your in my prayers!

so r u quitting, or just going to withdrawal until you can get more? of course no one asks to become addicted. and/or asks to have been in an accident (hence the word, "accident"). But this is a forum where people come to get help to get "off" the medicines/ drugs that have overcome our lives. it sounds like you're still in denial of your addiction and are using our empathy towards "what it feels like to be without" for your justification to continue to use. there's a pain forum for chronic pain support. how long ago were your accidents? what were the drugs prescribed for? whiplash, disk problems? Norcos, like all opiates, will exascerbate the pain by creating more sensitive pain receptors, or larger cells there- requiring the user to get more and more (tolerance). your pain is real, no doubt; but, with the introduction of an opiate, you must question to what degree your "pain scale number assigned" is really. Is a 7 really a pain 7; or is is lower because part of the pain you feel is actually a withsrawal symptom (your brain/body demading more pills). just food for thought.
anything that you need let me know! im here day or night~!
Love ya
Becca
