Hi Everyone,
I just got home (on Saturday) from my Advanced Neuro-Regulation rapid detox treatment in Beverly Hills, CA
It has been 10 days since any Norco and I feel so amazing. I haven't felt this good in over 2 years. I feel great when I wake up in the morning, a feeling I never, ever had while on the Norco. I used to feel so yucky actually all the time. The treatment I went through was, in my mind, a miracle. I was treated so well and respectfully.
After my treatment, I stayed at an amazing retreat were I was very well taken care of. I needed it.
I suffered absolutely NO w/d's. NOT ONE. I now take Naltrexone everyday for a minimum of 9 months. I have no cravings whatsoever.
If anyone has anyone questions about my experience please let me know and I will be more than happy to answer them.
Thanks so much to everyone that gave me the support and encouragement when I was thinking of trying to stop on my own. Unfortunately, the beast was bigger than I thought. I didn't have the strength to do it by myself. I was so petrified of the w/d's.
Well, thanks again. I'm so glad this board is here.
Hey that is awesome good for you unfortunately I cant afford that but I would love to hear all about it.I want you to tell me exactly how you feel do you have energy?Do you have to go back for therapy how do you maintain beside the nalt.? tell me all about it.Enquiring minds want to KNOW!!! hahaThanks Cristina ps take your time I want to know the whole scoop.
well christine it looks like someone finally got there coffee this morning
No doubt I was falling asleep earlier how embarassing !!!
<message removed>
dont worry christine, im a little bit of a mumbler and a stumbler before my morning coffee too. you were fine, still wondering what you were talking about though..
Hi Doll;
Now that your clean of the opiates, I'm curious if there are any other components to your recovery besides the naltrexone.
I've never done the rapid detox myself, but regardless, for many of us there is an underlying "issue" that drove us to substance abuse to begin with. Are you seeing a counselor or going to meetings?
I'm taking 100 mg of naltrexone per day, and it seems to really be helping out with the cravings. Course I can always stop taking this med if I want to use again. That's why I need a counselor and aa meetings.
Good luck to you!
Jim

well coldshot said the same exact thing i was thinkin,you just got robbed out of alot of money for something that isn't that painful to go through,hydrocodone wd is a piece of cake compared to oxy and a fentanayl wd,you would of had about 3days of discomfort unlike 1 to2 weeks of pure hell if you was on the stronger stuff,oh well it's done and over with now but for future refernce anyone thats one hydrocodone don't get your panties in a bunch when it comes to wd,it's not that bad...................vinny.
moderators you should not of have taken cold shots remark off of the board,he was telling the 100percent truth....................vinny.
Bestill I finished the story for you .Coldshot I too was on heroin and oxys and detoxed c/t off115mgs of methadone after 2 years I know what withdrawls are trust that I was just curious to see how they do it although I dont know if it would work for me .Anybody deserves to be sober if they want it that is not very fair to say that some deserve it more than others .Come on now this could be helping this person from turning to meth /heroin /oxys I started with the lortabs although I was like 15 and progressively was up to 300 mg of oxys a day the point being there are alot of women on this board that are housewives and so forth not to exclude men either that these pills are ruining their lives does it really matter what you are taking in the end .Isnt what matters is that these are the people that want to recover for their families I cant believe if you have been there you would not be supportive of ANYONE who wants to recover before they get to where you are/have been .Gloss please share your story as it might help someone and THAT is what it is all about!!!
i believe there is no one who can judge what it takes for another to make it. we all do whatever it takes for ourselves to get and stay clean. addiction of any kind can be a killer and it doesnt even have to involve drugs of any kind, its anything that makes our lives unmanageable, i applaud anyone who can find what it takes for them to get there lives back, i would never take a shot at anyone or minimize there pain. glossdoll, i think what you have done is great, but just remember addiction is a cunning enemy and can sneak back up on you. you must maintain vigilance and do something on an ongoing basis to never be sucked back in.
Glad to see you back Glossdoll........and feeling much better. How is the family doing with you now.
Keep up the good work..

I agree with Jim. Now that you're clean, how are you going to stay that way? The work is just beginning. A few years ago I detoxed in jail from benzos and opiates and swore I would never, ever go thru that again. That lasted 7 months. As soon as something "traumatic" happened I ran for a handful of vics and xanax.If we don't learn how to handle life, we'll just wind up using again.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

First off, I was unaware this was a communistic web site and censorship rules apply here.(my first post has been removed)
Second, I am not taking a shot or belittling anyone for their sobriety methods.
Third, the truth hurts, and ya'll can't face reality here. Im not gonna sit back and and watch other people waste thousands of dollars on an un-proven detox method because of a little norco habit. Un-proven yes-it may work on a little ole hydro habit, but has been prooven less than 25% success for H an Meth and Oxy's -do the research, trust me, I have.Ya, thats what I said. If you want to be clean bad enough, you can cold turkey a hydrocodone detox no problem and dont let this web site, any one, any doctor tell you otherwise. Your freedom is still in your hands.Please spare me with oh, I might do somthing stronger if I dont get off of the norcos-you make the conscience choice to switch-you deal with the consequences. I am so tired of todays addiction methods pampering the addict-myself included. Oh its not your fault, you cant help it, its ok. BULLs***> YOU(I) can help it. We all need a good kick in the a** here and wake up to the reality of our selfish addict ways. We loose our loved ones, our jobs, our posesstions, friends, children, lives and then want to take the easy way out, "oh. poor me, I was born with a disease. BS. Any one can do it if they want it bad enough, trust me I know. I've been dealing with opiate addiction for 15 years-H, Meth, Oxies, Hydyo-you name it . Ive also spent over two years in rehabs. one of which was a 1.5 year long in which I became an addiction counselor. I saw hundreds come and go-all the same story. Those who want sobriety stuck around no matter how hard. Those who did not bailed at the first chance-I studied the patterns and took careful notes. I saw the same patterns over and over. It always boils down to one simple truth-DO YOU WANT IT. My purpose is not to offend anyone here. Believe it or no I care what happens to each and every one of you.But, I cannot sit back and read lies when peoples lives are at stake-no way.I've had to kick people out on the street at 2 am because they brought drugs into a recovery enviroment. The hardest thing I've ever had to do other than loose my kids due to addiction. But I had to in order to keep him from taking 10 more down with him. You see, it would be real easy for me to buy into the easy way out"its not my fault". I'm sorry, it is. I made the choice to use fully aware of the results of addiction and the pain of detox. so dont bulls*** a bulls***ter.And dont ban my damn post either. It may just help one person, dont you get it?This is life or death here. I'm sorry if you people cant face the truth here, but I do speak truth and I think deep down you know it.
Peace and good luck to the sincere...Freedom is one decision away.
P.S. Any of you who believe in the Lord can be sure His ways are not the ways of the world-and you can do this with His guidance. In fact, if He chooses, He can do away with the detox symptoms all together. Only He knows what is the best for you, and trust that.Try asking Him and see what happens. He will know if your heart is sincere.
God bless SRV and may He rest in peace always.

You have not a clue to what I was saying if that is your response. I am currently addicted to Meth and have lost my wife and children-so dont you dare tell me I dont know what its like. I do.Before meth it was opxies and before oxies itwas norco and brfore norco, H. If I could blame my selfish ways on a disease or some childhood traunma I would, but that is the cheap way out. I made and do make the decision to use and thats it. Im a selfish b****** who has put using above his family.And anyone who beleives otherwise needs to wake up to an inevitable relapse.I have lost everything to this addiction. And it's fing time I woke the hell up and did somthingWe are not strapped to a table and force fed drugs. We make the call, we make the score and then we ingest them. How is that not our fault? If you want it, you'll do it. I have and have seen dozens and dozens as well. Freedom is one decision away.
