Hi I'm new here. I have been addicted to Vicodin for 5 years. I quit on my own 4 months ago. It was very hard. I see there are some good people here that are trying to help others. I'm always going to be called an addict because i was once addicted. But I can honestly say I never want to go back to that hell.
Mike
Welcome, Mike. What are you doing for recovery?
Hello Mike and welcome. I think we all feel the same as you,we never want to go back to that hell again.
Congrats on your 4 months.Its been almost 5 months for me.How did you quit?
There are several members here that are fighting the good fight right now,trying to get clean,having a real hard time of it.Seeing that,remembering how that felt,well,that always makes me thankful ive made it as far as i have.And sad for those who are finding out how very hard this is.But...it is worth it.I would have to say,honestly,i have never done anything more important"for myself" than to quit taking those damn pills.
Glad you found us,stick around,im sure you can contribute alot to this board and learn alot as well.~KIM

Hello. I just feel much better being clean. It was a stupid time in my life. 5 years wasted. I hope I can contribute with help to others on this board.
Thank you
Thank you
I wasn't taking as many a day as some people. 2 a day. I think the worst part was the depression from withdraw. I made up my mind to do it and I did. My wife is trying to understand what my problem was and why I was an addict. How can one answer that? I'm clean now and we're working things out.
Hi Mike & Welcome
You may never be able to answer that for her.It seems only addicts can really understand just what all is involed & how much of a life long battle it will be.
Congrates to you & I feel you may be able to help so many here both new members & old

Hi Mike,
I think you'll like it here a lot. There are SO many helping hands aboard. Every story varies in some way and you won't know when YOU are responsible for inspiring another. It's a way of giving back. Lots of luck. Hope to see you posting on a regular basis.
