i want to stop taking painkillers

[nikkigeezy1]

kinda new to this sight and this is my first post....I first started taking hydrocodone a year and a half ago..after i had a tooth pulled. Realized i liked them ...a lot...for a couple months it was just one here and there now it's 15- 20 a day. Deepending on mg. Im sick and tired of depending on them...its not even fun any more! Im ready to stop and I've been reading the posts and feel like i know what i need to do to quit...ive been through addiction before...i just need a support group and i think this sight is perfect for me...because my family doesn't know about my addiction. And i cant tell them yet either....i have 5 hydros left 10 mg. And haven't taken one  for almost seven hours....im done doing this! Need any support or advice please...

Hi Nikki! I just wanted to offer you my support and let you know your not alone! The first thing we all need to do is come to terms with wanting to stop! Once you make that decision, the work has to be put in BUT its SO worth it! i promise you!!

You said you have 5 pills left but havent taken any for 7 hours? Why are you holdiong on to them at all anymore? IMO I think the best thing to do is just flush what yiu have left and just jump in with both feet! The only thing holding those pills will do is either A, you will take them and start the w/d a day ro two later or B, go through several days of w/d and end up taking some because you feel bad. Having those pills does you no good my friend! My suggestion is just flush them and start right now! The sooner you start this journey, the sooner you get to take your life back and live pill free!!

Rush gave good adivice on checking out the Thomas recipe and I can also suggest getting B12 sublingual tabs for the energy. And I also reccomend staying close to this forum, and post often! We are all in this together and we are here to help you in anyway we can!!

You can do this!

Awesome, you will feel like hammered dog poo, but I worked while in detox so it can be done, but don't expect it to be easy by any mean...stick to the site and post when you are hurting, you'll get support

Thank u for responding! Yes I've read about that recipe and have all the supplies! I will start that on Monday....can't do it all because i have to work and take care of my two kids, and college classes...but i will use that as my motivation!

Check bottom right corner of the pag ear search Thomas recipe, give self at least three days for the flu and hunker down...it can b done, I have done it and have many others, entering the tunnel can be intimidating, but the other side is glorious!
