recovery
I have been addicted to hydrocodone on and off for the past three years. (100 mg) per day. I have recently went through detox, and am wondering how long it will take before the strong cravings stop. I know I need a plan of recovery, and am working on that right now. Can anyone suggest things to do to help me get through this?
LAPPER AND PHILLY BEE ARE THE SAME I DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT MIXED.........
ANYWAY I WALKED INTO THE N.A. MEETING LAST NIGHT LIKE A LOST PUPPY AND WAS WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. I ACTUALLY BLUSHED AT HOW MANY HUGS I GOT. HIPPY, HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT AFTER ATTENDING SO MANY MEETINGS THAT YOU FELT YOU WERE OKAY TO NOT GO? (ASSUMING YOU WENT ALOT)I AM NOT IN ANYWAY SAYING I AM DETERED FROM THEM AT THE LEAST.I TALK TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY BEEN GOING FOR 20-30 YRS. THAT SEEMS LIKE ETERNITY. DO YOU THINK THAT EVEN IF YOU FELT TOTALLY RECOVERED THAT YOU WOULD FEEL BAD NOT GOING? ALTHOUGH THAT IS CERTAINLY A BETTER HABIT THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS I HAVE FORMED....HAHAHAHAHA.........
EVERYBODY IN THIS FORUM HAS MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO ME AND I MEAN THAT FROM THE HEART.
KEEP THE DRAGON IN HIS CAGE...................

sorry if i butchered your nick name. welcome to the forum and you are right on the spot about recovery oriented places to go.
we see one another through the bad times and praise for good things that happen in our lives. i don't want to always be known as an addict. i am not ashamed, but there is so much good going on in this world. i want to see it all, clean when i get there. i am on methadone maintenance program. it was my 3rd relapse on dilaudids-bumping them of course. i had fallen into the abyss, but i had experience with methadone before, so i got myself there quickly before i died. it really saved my life. i have detoxed before and will again when i can. good luck to you.
i've been in rehab 3 times. NA is a wonderful place to go. my home group accepts me on methadone. Welcome again to this forum.

on here who has given me the courage to straighten my ass out.
i was getting crazy on the oxy to the pt. of destruction.......
although i admitted myself to an inpatient detox last wk. of april and have been clean since. i just experienced my first n.a. meeting and boy it was the best thing i've exp. ever........
black, white, hisp, orange, blue...ha-ha. seriously the recovery for me (and i know it has been a short time) is gonna be the toughest part. i am so used to seeing my A B C's the way i see them that living and staying this way is gonna be the toughest part of my journey. i wish to join the cyber family of addicts
and be able to keep learning and grow to beat this (DRAGON)
i am holding on strong although just when you feel at ease....
the DRAGON starts his whisper......so please, i have gotten thru the detox and 8 days straight and love reading and learning and hopefully teach a new comer................
