What is the best way to detox from narcotic pain killers?

[bigmistake]

I began taking pain killers recreationally two years ago.  Last spring, I had a wicked back injury and was prescribed oxys and then time released Morphine.  Completely disregarding my liver and the fact that I could become addicted, I was also buying anything I could get off the street, Vicodin ES, Vicodin HP, Endocet, Percoset, anything generic, and when it was't possible to get my hands on these, I would buy Oxycotin 40s or 80s.  Now I'm screwed.  I can't even get out of bed without eating a pain killer off of my night table.  If I don't take them, I feel like I am being electrocuted.  I CAN NOT FUNCTION without them --  I get cold sweats, chills, hot flashes and nausea.  When I try to not take them, nothing gets done -- I am useless.  The only thing I can do when I don't take them is squirm around in my bed and cry because i am so uncomfortable like a friggin junky.   Since I've been on painkillers, I have become a stick figure, dropping down to 91 pounds.  I don't even get "high" anymore, taking them just makes me feel normal again.  I am afraid and sick now.  I can't go to rehab because my family would disown me.  I hate myself for this and will someone PLEASE tell me how to get this out of my life before I die because I sure feel like I'm dying.  How do I detox from painkillers?

Hey I'm Vicky and for the past 2years I've been taking oxy's and perc. I really  liked it made me become more than just a person I didn't see the problem doing it until. 6 Months later I found myself sucking into a place where they were every and easy to get a I the money to by it all. Then I got a job that was fast past I knew I could do it but that one day I did it in the bathroom I couldn't stop. Then once I didn't have money to get it I couldn't work my bf tried his hardest to get us on track but I couldn't picture my life without it. Now for some reason I want to stop but if I stop then the money stops but if I go to work then I will get back on

I read this blog even though its an old post about a week ago...and wow this with the pure will power I feel I have done pretty good! I was in a jet ski accident on labor day in 2001 ....ran into a rope doing about 60 mph at my neck! I know lucky to be alive right?? Well to make a long story short I ended up going to about 4 docs trying to get my pain controlled until I found a not only helpful one but a very cool and understanding doctor( so I thought) Have been taking 10/500 Lortab 2.5 (X) a day unless I went out on a casual hangout nt w/ my wife or buddies then I would occasionally take .5 to 1 more. Nothing ever more because it felt like a wolverine wrestling a honey badger in my belly! I only took halves also....but KY started getting strict and ultimately was too hard for me to go by the new policies enforced by the state...not to mention he was a really bad doctor! He ended up killing a client by overdosing them with over 3 different kinds of painkillers and 2 kinds of valiums and xanax....and had several complaints from pharmacists stating he gave early refills w/ a very high number of pills more than can be counted. I guess that's why I I loved him! He hooked it up....I horded these lil blue demons and probably had over a thousand of them and thought man Im str8!  Well I ended my relationship back in Feb. 2013 and have been coasting on what I had until the end of Nov. I popped my last bottle.....WOW I thought ....it is going to happen . I am going to end this. I own a tattoo shop, work for a very large trucking company , and own a small distribution company, w/ a hot wife and 2 small boys under the age of 9.....I cant got thru that! So I started doing all kinds of research and so far I have went from 2.5 to 1.5 a day in a week in a half. I will tell you point blank it first sucked really bad ...had horrible stomach pains and restless legs that woke me up thru the first couple of days. After reading this post I mixed a bunch of everyone's self help withdrawal reliefs. So far ZANTAC 150 is a wonder drug!!! Really helps out with the stomach pain. Just got my Kratom today and wow took one about 30 minutes ago and it does make you feel like taking a painer!  SO I feel I am on pace to beat this and my New years resolution is to be Painkill free for the rest of my life. I am only 32 and am in really good shape and have also realized that the more you just stay busy and no matter what make daily goals you will kick this! Hopefully this can help anyone out there! GO CARDS!

I am just taking the first steps - admitting i am addicted to pain pills - norco.  I had to tell my immediate family.  It was hard since i have always been the strong, logical, very "together" person.  It is humbling (scary too) to admit my short comings to those i love. I plan to work hard overcoming addiction.  With the help of family, trusted doctor & detox center it will happen.

Please bigmistake, do not take your life.  You CAN overcome your addiction.  Let's do this together!  I will pray for you too!
