i am an ex oxy user and in the last year or so i have been on percs, tabs, and so forth. i tried to get clean and ended up getting coke instead of a pill. i try to step forward but this monkey wont get off my back. i've trying so hard the past few weeks and i'm failing over and over and i succumb and by a pill. my biggest issue is the pain of the withdraws.  can anyone please help me.

I can relate. I started with weed smoked it for probally 20 years, LSD, coke, H, opiates, 714s, the list goes on and on. Always looking for anything seeking oblivion. Oh geez I forgot alcohol. (speaking of oblivion)  

But YES we all want to help you . Even the person with one a.m wants to help and does. I spent alot of time here and that helped me the most, this time I was in wds from more than 6 years of daily vics and oxy.
Avis probally has the Thomas on her personal page or know who does.  I didnt do all that but did use a script of 5mgs valium for first 2 or 3 days and ambien (thought it was clonidine) Both are addicting so only for 3 or just a few days.  Stay warm, drink green tea, take liquid vitimans. Go to a N.A meeting. I think this is sort of like a meeting it sure worked for me.  Dont pick up. I had 2 weeks and went back for a few pills thinking I could do just a few HA  Nope. Went back into wds with no valium or ambien. So dont use after you get in the first 4 hard days its not worth the suffering over again. Pray

May i ask what steps you have taken to stay clean? Yes, w/d's are horrible, but it sounds like there is more to this than fear of w/d's. The thomas recipe in the health pages here can make w/d's a bit easier. I just wanted to ask about coke? Have you just done it a few times? Are you using both? If you are failing over and over, then it's time to get some help to end this vicious cycle and find out why you are using. What is more scary, w/d's or living life like a prisioner, having no emotions and feeling sick all the time. So many go through w/d's here and come out on top and you can do the same. We are here for you man, but the bottom line is, you have to help yourself first. Best of luck to ya and please keep posting. You can put an end to this today:)

I'm sorry that you are going through this, I dont know what it's like to be addicted to coke, but i do know what its like to be addicted to narcotics. I've been addicted to fentanyl 100mcg/hr patches, oxy 80's, morphine IR, and methadone. Those were the hardest for me to get off of, I am now 60 days clean and it has been a rough road. But you do have the courage and power to get through this!! I know that the withdraws can be awful, but they usually only last 7-10 days, which isnt bad b/c when it's over you can get your life back, and thats all that matters. There are numerous ways to help you detox on your own like benzo's of course and there are numerous vitamins especially amino acids and b complex. Have you heard of Thomas detox recipe...if not you should look into it, it names all the amino acids, vitamins, and there dosages which significantly decreases the paid of detox. Stay strong...this too will pass! I hope that i was able to help a little bit.
