oxy withdrawal having very hard time shaking the demon,is there a light at the end?

Hello everybody my name is Nikk im 16 years old and im addicted to the hellish demon spawn called oxycontin i have been using for roughly 1 and a half,75%the time i've been running from withdrawal i have stopped before but relapse i have relapsed roughly 5 times since january (forgive my spelling and punctuation but i just feel horrible) each of these withdrawals my mother has been with me everystep of the way of course not knowing anything about the symptoms and the drug but she still did a superb job and for her to stick with me through 5 or 6 relapses i am greatful for and certainly have mistreated her having her put up with my stupidity,days ago i hit that rock bottom where it kind of makes you turn your life around, i use everyday with the absolute nasty way of snorting the pills, ive done 80mg over the course of a day to keep withdrawal distant to 100mg i dont EVER use this to get high except for when i started roughly for 4-5 months if i wanted to be stoned i would have to snort about 60mg and i absolutely hate the "buzz" or "high" anyway, i only live with my mother and sister who i love more than anything in this universe, if it wasnt for the thought of being able to mess around with them again someday , i have lost my friends, girlfriend, family, education, just my whole life but want to turn this completely around and spend everyday with my family who i have ignored because of this poison far too long im very sorry for such a long rambling on and on post im just lonely right now and scared cause i know whats coming, just hoping someone who was like me at a time can please assure me there is a light at the end of this very long and dark tunnel thanks everyone **by the way have been off roughly 10 hours but feel like garbage, well it has to get worse to get better**

Do we ever really want to stop and live a "NORMAL" life? How many of us really want to stop. How many people of us don’t get along with other, and doesn`t remember how to and really desire to start all that from square one. How many of us are willing to get a good job, get along with "coworkers". Get home drink a glass of milk and go to bed. Wake up in the morning and repeat the cycle again without needing a thing. How many of us really think the "OTHER" life brings more happiness and joy

Oxi… Not easy, been there done that.  Being this a opium derivation, the withdraw syndromes are hell.  I`m not telling you to do what I did, or if your Therapist would agree…
Ok in my case I started a controlled substance treatment; in which I had a quota of other opium derivations which were less aggressive. I adapted myself in a short period of time and the withdraw symptoms weren`t as bad. The reduction of the alternative drug was “nothing” compared to the other.
I hope you understand what is above… took me 20 min to write It

Hey glad to hear your choosing to be clean! If your comming down off of the O's its going to be very hard, but it can be done. You maybe should have tried to cut your dosage down bit by bit first. But your headed in the right direction. You will get sick, we all have, but it does pass with time. I feel so much better now that Im not doing them anymore, and you will to, I promise! Good luck  Oh, by the way that light at the end of the tunnel.....it does get brighter, bigger and much brighter, you just have to walk slowly towards it, step by step, and you will see! Best wishes honey I hope you do it! I have faith in ya! Hell, we all do around here!

Hi, I would recommend seeing your doctor and getting some Clonidine if you can. For me it made the withdrawals much less terrible. I still feel like I'm crazy because of how long I've been lying in bed with my thoughts, but I've done withdrawals with and without Clonidine, and with is a hundred times better. Some people can't take it because it lowers their blood pressure too much, but your doctor would know all about that. Hope this helps.

readling your post sounds so much like my life right now.  I am a 46 year old woman with a wonderful husband and children and grandkids.  They actualy did an intervention on me yesterday.  I thought I was hiding my secret well but I wasnt.  I was allowing those stupid pills to take my life away.  I am not sure if I have a job any more, I have worked in this profession for 23 years.  My husband is great, he is here to support me, I dont derserve someone to stand by me like that but he does.whitie was right you have to hate the pills and take your life back, just like I have to take mine back.  I am scared to death but I know I must do it.

the more you hate the pills,the better off you are.

sounds liek you know what you are in for, the question is do you think you can manage them better in the future or are you %100 committed to quiting, for good?
