i am a 55 year old man addicted to lortab 5/500. i have been on them for 7 years. had a back injury,
surgery, all that. doctors prescribed meds and never stopped prescribing them. 120 a month for all
this time. i usually took them as prescribed, 4 a day as needed. they really helped me to be able to
get things done that i couldn't have without them. then came the time that i wasn't in the pain so
much, however i kept taking them for the kick they gave me. i guess somedays i took up to 8 pills.
i wanted off these things so bad for the last two years, but you all know how hard it is. i have been
reading the posts and stories of success and encouragement you all have. so i started with some
of your suggestions, tapering, vitamins, hot showers, so on. i am now down to 1 pill today. it will
be a half tomorrow. then hopefully none on dec. 3, 2008. then i know i will have to flush 120 down the
toilet. gonna be hard, but i want to be clean so bad. i want to be me again, no drugs. i don't drink or
smoke, could be a very clean life if it works out. pray for me, i have lots of respect for you all, living
clean is possible, lots of people do it. hope to post again, thanks
