I understand that death grip. I am glad you were successful with the way you went and you do have a good plan in place. I too told all healthcare professionals that i was a recovering addict and to not give me any pain meds. I had to do that for me and it feels good to be upfront and honest with them all. Continue with your IOP. Face your demons and feel the emotions that come with that. We walk thru it now, not around it.
i realize that. I dont know much about you. for example your daily useage drug of choice, route of admin ect. but I do know that everyone is different. and everyone has their reasons to stop using. im very happy and proud of you for stopping however you do it isnt easy. My situation was that ive lost everything and everyones trust in me. and legal trouble. i decided to take the most agressive step to get this control. every other way i tried i failed over and over. id do good for a ly wowhile and then woops its back in my life. part of my problem is i have money while some say that is good its a bad thing for an addict with a 300 to 500 per day habbit . i have so much guilt and shame over how much money i swallowed in pills just to feel normal for the past year. 12000 dollars is a lot but if i didnt do something drastic i would have spent that very quickly. there is an science to opiod addiction what would i have turned to to feed my habbit? steeling? heroin? it doesnt get better only worse i looked closely at what this program offered and it wasnt only about the withdrawl the vivatrol injection was something i never wanted to have. it stays in your system and can not be removed its there when you fall and blocks the effects of the opiates. so i know its there always to keep me on track. this was the most effective/invasive therepy available and that is what i need to stay clean. many people have researched this procedure and dont agree because of the risks of death. the dr i used has no incidents from 400 patients it was preformed by a board certified anithesiasists in an actual or not a clinic im very happy you were able to do it for cheaper on ur own. my disease holds my life in its hands my next step was death in my opinion i believe I made the right choice and i cand believe how good i feel physicially now emotionally i catch myself depressed a bit and i need counciling which im taking now im trying to do everything possible to close the doors so they cant be reopened. ive gone to every pharmacy and told them about my issue and had them put it on file no more meds also stopedby dr offices and clinics any one that could possible give me pain meds im trying to be positive about this I think im doing the right thing an suggestions would be appreciated thanks tom
12,000.00?? Really?? Nothing like taking advantage of an addict. My wd cost me around 15.00. I got some Ester C,B-6 and B-12. Many of us barely had 12 cents to our name when we stopped.
yes I was positive this was in an actual OR. I confirmed it. maybe some of the bad raps come from some of them that were preformed in a dr office. that is scary. and I spoke directly to the dr. and checked his credentials and for and scam reports. he is the real deal. I was treated like a king for 3 days that i was there. but your right. addicts usually are not a high priority. this dr is passionate about this. his success rates are very high after a year. good luck to you i know its hard. its the hardest thing ive ever had to deal with. my diseaseis always with me. but im learning how to deal with that. someone told me that it never gets better. but I get better with it
I,d read about clinics doing what almost sounded like clinic based rapid detox and i was horrified. However your account is at the other end of that and thats how it should be. Addicts get the rough end of the stick....not enough research, often little option and that is dependent on the knowledge and attitude of the professional that we are dealing with. I agree we all find our own path, the one thing we all agree on is joining together and supporting ourselves and other addicts to break free and stay clean....
Good luck :)
No its just for opiods. it does nothing for the benzos if you want to messase me il give u the phone number and the website 12,000.00
