ok here is my sob story...i am a 25 year old mother of 2 who has been addicted to hydrocodone for almost 3 years now and i know its time to quit. i have come clean with everyone about my addiction and am now trying to seek help but the sad thing is i am only on day 2 and i am at a point where i really dont think i can do this..i am about to go crazy. i have so much going through my head right now...i moved away from my town the same day i admitted i had a problem to get away from some of it but to be in a new place and fight the urge to drive down the street to the hospital with a "toothache"....i dont know what to do...feeling hopeless and wishing i could get high right now so bad
IM- I'm sorry..I said it a 1000 times...go into detox and follow a program..that will be the only way to get out of this mess...if detox is not an option, then get help from a Dr. who really cares..you DON'T have a sob story..you have the same story as the rest of us and no one here judges you...please hang in..fight the temptation..and get help....we all need it..we just have to ask for it..keep posting!
Umm. If your ready to quit then why do you want to get high so bad?
Im sorry I guess I don't understand your reasoning. Taking more pills isn't going to solve or fix anything, did you know that?
I agree with Danny. Your best bet would be to go to a detox center and go through a medically supervised detox of your drug addiction. I dont think your strong enough to do this on your own, especially when only on Day 2 your dying to get high again.
Once that's over you can go for councelling or meetings that will help you stay clean.

IM-Kiwi is right...don't sound like you are ready..you have to commit...be ready..and your best bet is a supervised detox...then meetings...I have a "problem" with Vic's right now...somehow seems very little to a lot of folks..but I quit Xanax CT and if I could do it, anyone can...and Vic's ain't nothing compared to Xanax..you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I quit Xanax too....that was a HORRIBLE thing to get off of. I think the mental dependance getting off the Xanax is killer. Right now I am day 5 of getting off hydro.....You just have to do it. I am not in rehab, I am at work suffering through this (poor me, huh?)....I am still in a fog, but I see it will get better. I have now been sleeping at night, but here is what you are to expect.
Depression and craving
Insomnia (restless legs at night)
nasuea
diareah
fatigue
lack of motivation
irritibility
sometimes if you kow what to expect and know others are going through it, it is easier to do.

katboyd1 i apprectiate your message and your right knowing what to expect and that im not the only one in ths position does help to an extent. as far as me saying i just want to get high so bad well what i meant was i just wanted to throw in the towel and give up already but guess what i am over that now..just a weak moment i guess huh? i have made the commitment to quit thats why i packed up all my stuff and left my town and am in a new place and going to my first narcotics anonymous meeting tonight at 7pm. i have my up and down moments one second i think i can do this and then 10 minutes later im craving so bad i cant stand it.
i am experiencing nausea,diahrrea, and horrible pain in my hips and legs.
was considering finding a doc here and telling truth to see wht they recommend maybe a nerve pill ..benzos have never been something good for me so i need not worry about that right??

Good luck....it is the hardest thing to do. Hopefully all of us can look back
and we will be stronger.
and we will be stronger.
IM- If you take the benzo's ONLY during withdrawl, and then stop, you'll be ok..makes it much easier...but Xanax, Valium..any Benzo are real tough to quit...can't even describe it..so 4-5 days..no prob...it takes care of the shakes...don't trade pain pills for benzo's though....
