Honesty,Ive been lurking for some time now & though I have seen some good advice,I do need to say that recovery isnt a big topic here.
My story
Ive abused oxys for the last 7 years,Im thinking of stopping but Im so so scared.See I have male private problems that are so painful.My Drs tell me Ill NEVER be able to live without some form of pain meds,but the oxys are starting to interefear with my life.
Any advice?

Briar? Is that you seriously?
Get a load of this Jeff.
You still didn't answer my question. There are a lot of threads with Off topic conversations, but everytime when someone calls out for help there is an outpour of information and support.
Inspirational posts are posted here all the time...
but if the lack of recovery talk is really what is bothering you, why would you not address it in a decent manner instead of this ... whatever it is...

Not a doctor but maybe some other form of medication for pain that wouldn't have the same side effects? If you think you are an addict you probably are. This is a place to maybe start for help. Have you talked to your Dr. about changing or stopping the oxys and what options you might have? Sorry you have seen some drama here but just read the threads that are helpful and disregard the rest ok?

Stacey...Please see above post.I suppose I am just lazy & didnt want to write out my full screenname.
Im a 53 year old male,no family left to speak of going through some real personal medical issues.
Oh I know there are some good people here with very good advise(as Ive been lurking)but Im sorry I dont want to upset anyone but Id have to say within the last?????Month theres alot of non recovery issues & RECOVERY may be something I want.
I will admit,I live a more pain free life on the oxys but after reading here & seeing people like.....that Sharon & what shes just gone through...Im scared
Stacey...maybe the reason I came across so crass is because I am scared.
Jan my Drs have told me that I will need something strong to handle the pain Im in

ROE,
Can't you give your oxys to someone to hold and they will dispense as directed? Seems simple to me. No way should you be in pain. But if you are an addict you cannot be in charge of them...nope won't work. Personally if I had a condition that req. narcotics, yep I would use them, but they would not be in my possession...

I'm sorry.
I know how hard it is to be an addict and have bad pain issues. I have 3 herniated discs and have a 36lb baby to tote around up 3 flights of stairs to get home every day.
If recovery is what you need it's not going to come to you. You've got to go get it. You first have to ask for help and get a good amount of support. This board can only do so much, but we bend over backwards for people who really need help.
I abused oxycodone...a lot of oxycodone...for 2 years, and my husband was also actively abusing them along with me. i've withdrawled about 20 times literally and it only gets worse. if you think it won't ...well please don't find out if it will. You've got a life to live. you really do.
Have you looked into if there are some meetings in your area. I always thought 'meetings' was like a four letter word, and that it was my low to attend one..but i walked in and there were some very cool, smart people, that just needed support of others that KNOW how it is. I think that should be one of the first actions you take. Why not just try it?
Hope you stick around.

Funny I never thought of that.See I have no family to speak of & I try very hard to keep my condition private.I tend to keep people at arms length,maybe thats why I FINALLY desided to try this site.I can talk & hopefully get some type of support without actually meeting people
Stacey,that may be something to look into but see with me I probaly will always be on something.I dont over use my oxys,but as I said after reading Sharons story I got very scared.I thought meetings were for people who are trying to stop?I think if I tried that Id probaly go insane from the pain.That plus my condition is a very private thing
Ask your doctor for other pain relief options...you can slowly switch over to another med or a combination of other meds that can relieve the pain just as much if not better than oxy. I don't know your condition, but do you think part of the everyday stresses of your life causes you to want to use them?
Do you Want to be on them the rest of your life? I wish I could help more.
One thing though, you don't have to be clean to go to a meeting, but you have to want to quit. I'm not sure if you're there yet.
What kind of advice are you looking for? I feel i may not be close to the kind of help you are seeking...

The best I can think of would be private therapy. There you could express your thoughts and fears about both the pills and your phycsical condition in a non-threatening setting...Hope this helps. Oh and pain manangement message boards could be real helpful also. Just google it. I have scanned a few of those and they are very busy places as you can imagine.
