If you are new here or just lurking I want to welcome you to Recovery. You are not alone and your life will get better. There is hope and you never have to use again. Don't pick up one day at a time.

Rachel,
That was a great post and I second it.
You've come to the right place and no matter how bad you think things are or if you feel embarrased to share what you have done or are doing, please know that we all have been there and thats why we are here now. To help each other in any way possible. To make each day better. Its not a walk in the park, but it not as bad as you think. Alot of people are so afraid of going through withdraws and I believe they were not as bad as I feared. I was taking over 20 10mg percs a day and basically anything else I could get my hands on. At one point I was snorting oxycontins as well.
If there's a will, there's a way.
Love,
Marie

We all have been where you are now and understand your pain and desperation. You've come to the right place, really. This is a recovery board and we are addicts who want to help. When you post, it helps us. It helps us to remember to be humble. This disease can bring you to your knees, but you don't have to do it alone.

I would also like to add a Welcome to the Board for the newbies. Keep coming back!
This is why I kept coming back.There were always some "Rachels" around that I knew if I would just stick around I might be one of them someday.
Shes the real deal,you just cant fake that.

Rachel,
Wonderful post. I lurk most of the time. My DOC isn't a pill, but it was opium. As Cowgirl said, it too, brings you to your knees. The only place to look is up. I have been clean (again for the second time. Quit in March, relapsed in May. Quit again October 27th, so I have 31 day today) YAHH!! Was wonderful to have a clean and clear Thanksgiving with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and my mother. It was relaxing and real. I pray daily for the people on this list and all those in the world struggling with addiction of any kind. Be it pills, booze, food, sex, etc.
Life is good and so is this board.
Thanks to everyone for your help. There is life beyond addiction.
If I can be of any help, please post and I will reply.
