Hey,I would really like to hear from anyone right now. Iv'e never joined one of these forums, so I'm not sure how it all works. I am addicted to vicadin,and have been for about 2 years.
My ex-husband just passed away a month ago and I have 4 kids(older,teens) who are really struggling. I am having alot of trouble DEALING with it,as we never really parted ways. I can't really even remember much of the last month because I have been so out of it (but functioning).
I took my last pills yesterday and I am trying to stay positive, but I can feel panic starting to set in!
I really hope someone is our there,Jamie
Jamie-You can stop.It's not life threatning to do this.I've quit cold turkey taking a lot more as well as other people.
The next 3 days are going to be rough.You will feel like you have a bad flu.The best thing you can do is ride it out.You can treat the symptoms with over the counter meds but you need to get the opiates out.
There is no short cut.
Keep posting on here for support the next 3 days if you can.
Then we can start talking about a plan to stay clean.
You will need F2F support for that.

Just "act as if" you have the flu...like Tim said,it won't be easy. But YOUONLY HAVE TO DO THIS ONCE. Aftercare and support is crucial.Feel free to post when you are feeling bad...we have all been there.Take care, Sharonn
