First of all this is a boyfriend not husband. Don't EVER tolerate anyone calling you a junkie. You need only supportive people in your life if you want to be successful. That being said...I had a 13 year, 20 to 30 pill ( give or take a few) a day addiction...I lived in hell everyday.. So I know where you're coming from, like everyone else on here so you will be getting some great advice. I fully believe the meds I was given during detox and beyond made the difference between success and failure. Seroquil and suboxone saved my life. There will be plenty of people who will say don't start suboxone because it can be hard to get off of. I didn't have that experience with it...my experience was nothing but good and I whole heartedly recommend it. Again, I'm just telling you my experience. Good luck and remember to push through those first rough days. Making it through to the other side is worth it completely.....
I am sorry you are in this spot, but everyone on here has been exactly where you are at. I will be honest, you cannot do this alone and without support of people who care. If you do not have friends or family that will support you, you should check into a detox or NA and surround yourself with people who want to help you.
As painful as detox is, I can tell you that it can be done. I have done it more times than I would ever like to count. But you cannot just detox and think this will be over. Without a plan, you will go back to the pills. Once you detox, the hard part really begins mentally.
Keep posting, there are so many people here who care and will help you if you are willing to listen, learn and help yourself.

It's been 7 years or so but I hate this I think i get more sick taking them then I do without them I just can not stand the cold sweats and pains in my legs when I stop....I have about 6 left and I just got 30 on Friday it's bad here and I can't stand it anymore I talk myself into weening off but then I catch myself taking 4 at a time when I just told myself ill just take one...I'm in a constant battle in my head and I'm tired of fighting...I just wish I could tell my boyfriend so I can goto the methadone clinic...I would go but thing is registration is only at 6 am and then on weekends I have till 9 am to get my dose I just don't have the guts to tell him in fear he will kick me out and I have no where else to live at this time...I'm so alone with this I don't know who to turn to...I cry all the time and I hate myself for allowing it to get this far...thank you all for understanding where I'm coming from...I have a dr app on we'd so ill see what she can do to help me
Have you tried to taper down before ct? Is there anyone in your life that can hold the pills and give you the daily dose of a planned schedule?
I wasn't fully aware of how much I acted like a "junkie" toward my wife, until I was clean a little while. Knodding on the couch, talking with my eyes closed, so tense when running low, money disappearing, so many things that I justified. Remember that the bf feels your addiction too. I'm not saying calling you a junkie is right, but people don't always live to their potential when they get hurt. My wife came around when she saw that I was going to do whatever it took. It took some time, but I had to focus on saving my life, not my wife.

Hi there and welcome. I know how painful the word junkie is. Especially from someone you love. It's gut wrenching. But some people just don't understand. I was once where your at. I would blow thru percs in days. And oxycontin too. I couldn't control myself. It took me many attempts to get clean. What are your plans to stop??.
Do you still some or are you out?? The first thing you've got to do is mentally prepare yourself and set aside time to just he sick. Tell yourself you've got the flu and will be down for a week. Get everything you need to help. Then hunker down.
Another option is talk to your doctor theyve heard it all before.
I had to go to rehab for help. I had no self control.
How long have you been using??
