the continued vicodin hold had now ruined my life

[joyagain]

Hello all, I have not posted in a very long time.  I am at a serious low tonight.  I am on administration leave from my place of work.  Yesterday morning I took two norco home from my place of work that were not mine.  The incident was discovered, and I did return the pills as I had not realized I had gone home with them in my pocket.  I recently have had foot surgery and have to work on my feet all day, a lot of stress in the family right now, horrible headaches, and starting the "change of life" hormones out of wack so to speak. Before this, I have done everything legally to get my vicodin, norco, percocet until recently.  I got a nurse practitioner fired for prescribing me percocet last summer as well.  With all the madness last summer, dealing with my addiction and getting through everyday life I was able to vacation with my beautiful children and husband and maintain my life.  Went back to at the end of the summer, foot doing better but still needing the narcatics.  I was sooo happy to have full, wonderful benefits no for the family and things were looking up.  As bad as I felt about the Nurse Practicioner who had been fired because of me, I had been able to move on, and so had she.  You see, truly I did not know that she was prescribing it to me on the sly.  I was truly oblivious to this.  I  still hold myself accountable because she gave them to me to help me in a so called weaning process.  She was trying to help me.  Anyway, I will probably be fired for the recent incident at my job with the pills, because of course my urine test will be positive for hydrocodone, for I take it at home everyday.  The admimistration knows that I have a prescription, but I do not think it will make a difference.  Please respond.  Some of you might remember me.  It is quite surprising to myself that I have gotten this low.  I will be fired, I'm sure of it.  My husband makes good money, but I truly am the bread winner for I do make a liitle more, and my type of job caries fantastic benefits for my 4 children.  Things were starting to look so good again despite my addiction, and I blew it.

he seems to be in a lot of pain.  I'm afraid it could be enough to make him want to use again.

When was his last dose

hello, I am trying to help my husband thru vicodin withdrawls. Can anyone tell me how long this lasts and what the normal symptoms are? He is in so much discomfort. It's killing me to see him suffer like this. Is it normal?

I will certainly pray for you and your family.  I hope there are not devastating consequences and that you learn from this so it'll be the last time.  You can be a great mom, wife and employee without pills, ok?  We just think we can't at first!!! : )

In your job profession, does it matter if you have a script and you test positive? I don't understand that part. Good luck tomorrow, btw!
