I am the big Dr Phil fan and I justed wanted to let everyone interested know that his show tomorrow Oct.28 , will be about mothers who are/were junkies .I think some are clean now I am not positive but I am sure it will be an awesome show.You all have recommended some really enjoyable programs to me so I wanted to return the favor if you were not already aware of it.His show comes on at 9:00 am here I am in NC so it is Eastern time maybe you can check your TV schedules if you want to join me watching tomorrow .I am sure it will fill us all with lots of gratitude and maybe get a ccouple of moms that are still using to jump on the wagon.Who knows ?Maybe we could all talk after the show tomorrow?Thanks for listening Cristina
I LOVE DR. PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watch him daily.............woo hoo we will be talking....
Hi Cristina I just wanted to say good morning.Ya know before I joined here I never realized just how many homemakers & wifes have an addiction problem.When I came here it made me realize that this weight Ive carried for so long can be shared & it helps so much.How are you feeling today????mj
I love Dr Phil too....thanks for letting us know Cristina...I'll be watching!
Have a great day.

Hi MJ I am doing pretty good my morning ritual is to get Arielle off to school at 8:40 check the MB and then go watch Dr Phil then Martha ,Montel and then a whole freakin day of soaps this is only when I am not working so I dont get to do it everyday butsometimes it is nice to lay around in my pjs and get out of my own mind ya know.
I had posted to you early and I just wanted to say again that I am glad to have found someone else too that is on the Sub maintainence program it just makes so much more sense to me than methadone becaus eI was so dang high everyday when I was on the meth I could barely get anything done I was nodding so much.Now I have my own business and rarely even take a nap during the day and that sure is nice to be able to be productive.Had you ever tried methadone before the Subs?

I have to say.this board was also an awaking for me...........I relized I was not the only normal. (well whats normal) housewife and mom that had a problem........I didn't tell to many people I was taking methadone....one reason was beciz of the reaction I got when someone found out........it was funny how acceptable taking the vic were, but you mention something like that and people freak out..........
I know for a fact the way I feel now compared to the way I have felt the last few years. including the wd I went thru, (still am but getting better everyday)
I WILL NEVER POP ANOTHER PAIN MED..........Aleve works for me now.....and funny how I really don't hurt as bad as I thought I was going to. I think that was the fear of not wanting ot go off, I couldn't handle the thought of hurting so bad everyday...but ummmmmm its not like that........

Cristina,about 7 years ago I was buying the meth off the street.I got myself in deep trouble because I enjoyed the feeling so much.I know the only thing that stopped me was that the lady I use to buy from stopped selling(she needed them)Anyways my Dr & I discussed that at one point BUT I know myself well enough that I would get too carried away with it,.For me the Sub HAS SAVED MY LIFE.I know with what I was doing it was only a matter of time.I have 2 beautiful girls 17 & 13 & they needed a mom who was going to be here for them.When I used I dont think I EVER dealt with feelings.For me the +sides of sub are not only to keep me from usen but it works very well on my chronic pain./How long have youve been on the sub?I dont think you said....mj
I not only agree with loving Phil but I am also a big fan of Aleve too.haha It does work very well.It really does amaze me how much we are all alike.When I started taking pain pills my g/f neighbor and I were the only moms on our street that stayed at home with our kids before they started school and after our husbands went to work we ate our loris' and sat around and talked and smoked cigs and let the kids play together then aound 2:00 we would get her house straight and dinner going then we would get my house straight and dinner goingback then it was just all fun and after our husbands got home we just stayed w/ our families and sometimes would walk over after the kids went to bed for a little while but everyday we could not wait to get our old men out of the house so we could get our day going Crazy days back then,wonder if she ever quit havent talked to her in years and we had plans for our kids to get married etc so funny to look back on now.I was only 22 or so then.
When they showd clips of tomorrow's show, it showed another woman hooked on Vicodan.

boy I can so relate..........my gf who should be on her 3rd day now of not taking vico's........we use to work together.and started our morning with 4 or 5 vico's, a hit of pot, LARGE cup of coffee and mini thins......talk about strung out.....then a few hours later we did the same thing........well we both stopped working and then we coontinued our routine at our homes.......my hun leaves the house at 3:45 am.but oh I wished he would work late just so we could keep being high.....he hated it when I was doing all that crap........so I know it was a releif to him when I stopped smoking pot, and taking mini thins..only if he knew how many pills we were taking.......now that I am on my 17 days of being off the methadone can we talk about how bad it was.........I love being home..but I am now getting excited about actually working more then 2 weeks..........so soon gonna look for a job........omg and having money again to go shopping..
my poor hun has been supporting my boys and me. I know he is looking forward to that himself...

ctink If I may ask how old are you now?Im 38.Its funny what you said reminds me of way back when.It was my oldest first day of kindergarden & I had met another lady walking her daughter to school.We became really good friends & sort of did what you use to.Her thing was Didrex(diet pill)She would get her script once a month & I swear the script would be gone in 3 days.She would take 10 at a time!!! she started to let me have a couple & it was like a runaway train.I swear Id abuse baby asprin back then.....mj
I started on the Sub on Aug.26,2005 so I have been on it for 2 months now,and I see my dr.every 3 weeks now .It just got moved to 3 weeks because all of my drug screens have been negative .Thats a first anyway for me becaus eI also used benzos daily although I quit them about 4 months ago mainly because I had no more refills and was to consumed with the opiates that was enough but I also have chronic pain I went thru a windshield when I was 21 and that is when I started getting the pain meds and the xanax for PTSD and I finally was introduced legally to my drug of choice only got worse from there but today life is good!!! Sorry to have to run on you but I have got to go get ready to go to a noon meeting and get my 60 day chip.I will check back on this thread when I get back to see if you are around ok I will be back around 1:30 I am 31 years old and my daughter-Arielle will be 11 on Thanksgiving day.Boy thos ewere the good days huh?
Hey GREAT FOR YOU GIRL on your chip.I needed to sign off for a bit too but I wanted to let you know Ive enjoyed talking with you also.If we dont meet up later on here Im sure we will again soon.Take Care & enjoy your day.....mj
