addicted to oxycontins, cant get off em

well ive been doing oxycontins for a good year and a half now and im not prescribed anything ive been doing them since i was 17 and i am now 19, im starting to realize i have a serious problem i havent been paying credit card bills cant save a damn penny  basically i owe over 800-1000 dollars to banks/credit companies, the thing is i make about 275-290 a week after taxes and i have no rent to pay etc.  anyways bottom line oxy 80s run me 60 dollars in glen burnie maryland (suburbs of baltimore) and around here if you have a OC dealer your lucky because oxys are HARD to come by around here. my habit consists of 40mgs-80mgs a day, lately i start illin as soon as i wake up (wake up freezing cold), etc today i swore id try to stop but instead i ended up buying 3x 15 mg roxis and eating 1 and snorting 2, anyways bottom line is i wanna get off of these things and was wondering how hard it is to sign up to a meth or suboxin clinic and how expensive each one is, im sick of paying 30-60$ a day and being drained of money i get paid every 2 weeks and usually by day 7 or day 8 i have no money and therefore the rest of my days are HELL but i somehow always manage to get what i need....im just sick of putting myself in debt and blowing my money, im in college but i have skipped 7+days this semester to get high , im sure there are plenty of ppl that have been in my situation and who still are in my situation, i just need advice on what i need to do suboxin or methadone, i personally think methadone would work for me because i can wean off of oxys, its hell of a lot cheaper and im sorry to say, i can get high and then work my way down until i am off this ****, just please help me i need advice and i am not telling my parents or anyone in my family about my problem, the only positive feedback will be on here

thanks in advance,
drew

day 4 is today, and its almost day 5

last night i got my friend who goes to a methadone clinic to front me 60mg of methadone just to make day 4-7 easy, i took that stuff and it is the most amazing **** ive ever taken im still feelin good off of it and it lasted all the way from 2am last night till 9pm now, and supposedly it lasts for a total of 24-36 hours, since i took it last night it was much easier for me today, tomorrow i work 10:30-9:30 hopefully i will still be feeling decent and then tuesday wll be day 6 and payday is day7, i can make it!!

Happy to hear you're feeling better. it might be better for you that you weren't able to get sub/meth. You now know the agony of oxy w/d, and that in itself would hopefully be a future deterrent to never touch them again. Seems like you've got the right idea, keep yourself occupied. Keep busy, you can do this!

You are already so close dude - - this will all be said and done by next Wednseday - and you may spend your check on something besides methadone.........but your check and the resulting finances may well be a trigger for you.......keep in mind that just because you got a couple bucks doesnt mean that you have to go out and score again.....keep thinking and keep posting and above all else stay strong.............and good luck to you - you will make it -
