norco

[Lyn212]

WEll, I just got my last refill (my dr said no more) and he only gave me 20 pills, usually he gives me 60 with 2 refills.  I am a;ready starting to feel anxious and I don;t know why.  I want to stop taking them, I am just so afraid, the pain I have prevenst me from doing much of anything and I have become this lazy person that just sits around taking norco all day long.  I am already sweating and worried sick about this. I don;t know what to do. I don;t think I am mentally ready to stop yet, but now I may have to.

That is a good thing that this site is helping you.  Usually I am always a person with nothing but kind loving words, but it seemed like you got plenty of that from others.. I was just trying to shock your system into maybe looking at it from a different angle.  Sorry to be so hard, and didnt get upset or angry, just CONCERNED!  So use this website to help you all you need, and make sure to always post everything you feel.

BEST OF LUCK!!

I worried people on this forum for weeks before i quit....You ar working it out in your mind right now...that is all...you will get there...I can tell...You should express what you feel here..If you feel like taking a pill...or if you feel like you are weak....say so...if we were all on here lying about how great we are doing all the time, what help would it be...it is about thoughts, working with those thoughts, coming to a conclusion after thinking and analyzing...by the way  I have been clean 12 days and have a bad headache  LOL....did not have the best of days....most have been good....did not get a pill tho....working through my past behaviors and realizing alot about myself...I have been emotionally not ok since my divorce 15 years ago and did not start using pils til a few years ago....I have not been ok for a long time...I am seeing it now....one positive note to a negative situation...alot of people go thru life non-addicted but in emotional pain and never get this chance to figue things out as they do not realize they need to...I look at it as a new beginning to an old behavior pattern that needs to end...rambling but had a bad day

I don't know what to say.  I feel badlythat I go back and forth when it seems like most of you are on the road to better days, not taking pills.  I'm sorry if I was to wishy washy, it sounds like i have upset some of you, and that isn't my intention.  I was typing what my mind was telling me at the moment, I have never talked about this stuff to anyone, I have never allowed myself to even go there with this problem I am having. TO be honest every time I wanted to go take a pill today I came down and read on this site instead trying to go as long as I could without taking one.  This has really been a blessing to have, to know that there really is other people out there that are feeling exactly like me. Thank you all for helping me everyday.

I have heard that the Kratom is an addicting drug, which is just trading one addiction for another. DON'T ORDER IT!!!! If your going to withdrawal, then just do it & suck it up!

Hey- she doesn't need your anger.  If she's not ready right now- fine. Don't be a jerk about it.  If you have issues w/ what she says- move on- and leave it at that.  If she's looking for help- then let her find it.
We've ALL been there.  We've ALL been where we kind of wanted to quit- kind of didn't.  We've gone as far as trying to taper, couldn't.  
This is a hard thing- she'll need support- encouragment.  She's being HONEST with herself- and with us.  You can't judge her for that. OFCOURSE she knows to think of her kids, etc.  This is an addiction- it's not a choice of what to eat for lunch- it's a physical and mental addiction.  You could have ALL good intentions- but you're struggling.  She's struggling with herself and with her addiction.
Just watch what you say to someone that's so fragile right now- you could do more harm than good.  In the end- these are our own decisions to make- but my day #1 started with someone giving me GREAT advice on this board.  To be honest with you- I didn't want to stop the pills that day.  I did but I didn't- I should say.  With help from REALLY positive people here- I have got 4 days under my belt

I do not want to sound mean, but I have read every single comment you posted on this thread before I decided to reply.. In all honesty it doesn't sound like you are serious about quitting at all.  You say many times that you cant do this, and you cant handle this.. Well YES YOU CAN, YOU JUST CHOOSE NOT TO!  There is a difference.. Also I read in a few posts about you wanting to be able to get pain meds anyway.. Hoping they will pull your tooth out to give you norco "you hoped" right?  That is not being ready to quit.. This addiction is a nasty thing and I am not judging you in any way, but you have kids that need there mother, and need their mother to be a sober resposible person to care for them.. All I here is you saying "ME THIS" AND "ME THAT" OR "I CANT" OR "I WONT"!!  You have honestly admitted how out of control this has gotten yet right after that say you wish you could get more pills.. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?  Do you want to get real and quit for good, or do you just want to get through until you can get mroe meds?  To me it sounds more like you just want to get more meds..  I hope you decide to think more about how this is affecting the kids rather than how you can deal with pain, and withdrawl.. THEY NEED YOU!!

Get mad at me, bash my response whatever "I DONT CARE: But for gods sake put your kids first and realize that getting clean is rough but very doable!  Staying addicted is just going to make things worse..  AS LONG AS YOU GET CLEAN THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT! THERE ARE PRECIOUS KIDS HERE THAT ARE TOO IMPORTANT TO OVERLOOK JUST DUE TO YOU NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE PAIN THAT WELL, OR BEING A BABY WHEN IT COMES TO PAIN"AS YOU STATED"  

PLEASE THINK OF YOUR KIDS FIRST, AND REALIZE THAT YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF BEFORE THEM WHEN YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THESE PILLS!
