I like some honest answers???? This pill addiction is stronger then I am.. I will try to just dose to feel normal. Who here can tell me that they will ever be pill free. Dont right that you pray or are trying hard. Be real who here can be totally pill free for the rest of there life? If you can say that I say you where never addicted. Roger
I can honestly say that for the rest of my life I will have to continue to work at being pill free. I cant guarantee anything..surely wish I could..for own purposes of course.
I will never be one of those people that can have a bottle of pain pills in the house and take only when I have pain. Never could, never will. What made you think of this question for the board?Are you having a hard time right now?

I will not disapoint me or others again. Im on fent patch 50 mcg , I quit meth clinc Fri , Im on the patch and hope it keeps me from withdrals. Im a meess last SAT I had a eye injury with a bungy cord and been blind for 8 days now and most likly will be blind for life in one eye. As bad as that is things were not much better before accident..
Hey Roger, We've talked a couple of times. Your post from the other day was more positive. Had some trouble?
Me...I can't say that I'll ever be totally pill free...but dare say some of the good people here can. There is a wealth of info here to accomplish just that. Life won't ever be the same, no doubt. I'm not strong right now...weak. I give it my all, but always fail. Is that where you are? Listen to some of the success stories here...some are real. Some are committed. Your paintbrush is just too broad, Roger. Everyone isn't like us. Have some faith in yourself...in your strenght. I know it isn't easy. It blows. But can it be done? Yes, it can. Beck

kERRY i KNOW DIVA THE LAST i SEEN SHES TURNED TO BE A FULL BLOWN CRACK HEAD
Hi Roger,
That's a tough question cuz i have to fight to stay clean. As people on this board have said, some days are tough and you have to keep reminding youself that 1 pill is too many and 1000 pills is not enough. I know that I will have to have surgery on my other shoulder (already had the left one cut on) sometime the end of the year and i'm a bit nervous about it. I don't want the pain, but i don't want the painkillers either...

I am still addicted to xanax and am tapering..as far as the opiates..I don't think I willnever receive them again(colonoscopies,kidney stones,hospital) but I will NEVER hold on to a rx again..would give it to someone. Addiction has taken me down twice in a bad way..too damn old to do it again.Unless I'm gonna die for sure and it is palliative care, you can be sure I don't wanna go here again.Cannot live with the self-hatred and disgust(more than health implications)
I dare not every say that I will be totally pill free. I have faith and hope on my side that someday, I will be able to feel normal physicaly and mentaly without the use of a narcotic. I can say that rather you are "pill-free" or not, its the concious effort to change and want to change that earns us sincere bragging rights.

Roger, sorry to hear about your eye...that sucks.
Life does get better. Getting off of opiates isn't easy, but you can get free....
Watch out for those patches...

Contacts suck!
I must say that under my circumstances with medical things. I will be having surgery in about 2 months and I can't imagine not taking the pain meds at that time but they will be monitored by my lovley husband of course.
However, I don't think I will ever abuse them again because after what I went through it just was not worth it!!!

Roger,
I just logged on and read your message. I have to say that I really resent you posting that. I AM PILL FREE. I have been pill free and in recovery for almost 11 months. I have been through hell and back along with the others on this board. I am sorry that you are having a difficult time in your recovery at this point and if you need help and support that is fine. This board is a great place for that. But, a post such as this one is very degrading in my opinion.

Roger, I am sorry that you are going through a difficult time.
I am not a user, but I learn from others on this board and consider them my friends. I would like to do the same with you too.
You said that 80 people have read the post so you want everyone to see it to reply, that is what I am doing. Life is hard it sucks sometimes. I think that we all have to learn to live our lives with as much grace and dignity as we can.
Everyone has different methods of dealing with addiction. Some people really do mean it when they say they will never touch an opiate again.
That is there way and there strength to keep on track.
We all, as life work in mysterious ways. We use whatever method of coping works for us at that point in our lives. Remember, one day at a time.
Take good care of yourself.
