Hi My name is Courtney, I am 20 years old and just got out of rehab today.
I was addicted to Oxycottin for the past 3 in a half years. I went into trinity and whithin 2 weeeks i was right back on them. They hard so hard to get off of.
The withdrawls and cravings are so bad, so I then started going to a Methadone clinic, which did help me get my life back together, I was on it for 9 months. 1 week ago i put myself back into rehab for methadone. Im just tired of having to reliy on a drug the rest of my life so that I feel normal. I just got out of rehab today. Methadone withdrawl was so much worse then OC withdrawl. I am still having hte sweats and cravings and it sucks. If anyone out there has been where im at and succeded please let me know and give me some coping skills for the withdrawls.
Cortney,
Me, I was addicted to oxy's for 9 months also. I decided two weeks ago to go cold turkey. Metho is not an option. Get of it. It will be out of your system within a week or so. Its hard but you gotta do it. Your young do f*** up your life on this s***. mine went from being 20mg to 550mg in 9 months. Listen to somebody who has been there. The dr gave me options meth detox etc. I took the hard way cause I want to be well. Im 14 days clean and its been one hell of a trip but im getting there if you can try going into RECOVERY FRIENDS group its very good u can chat there we are all here to help you. The sweats are bad but they will subside in time. I thought I couldnt do this but I did. I look back over the last two weeks and cant beleive what I have acheived I can drive again and take my kids to school and go places. We are here just keep posting we are listening we are here for you anytime.. email me rhonda70@iinet.net.au

Hey Courtney
Hang in there sweetie. I have a family member with a terminal blood disorder and has been on meth for ages. He also finally got tired of it and just stopped cold turkey. He actually felt like he was gonna die during that time but he made it (prescribed marinol but smoked weed during that time instead which he said enabled him to stop all the other meds) Now he's clean. Took a very long time but he did it.
We are here just talk to us. Many also feel same as you. I'm glad you are posting and reaching out.
BOO
