Hi everyone my name is Kelly and I"m an addict! I must confess I followed to this site for something other than recovery and liked some of what I saw.. I do believe PA will always be my home base however I thought I would try to branch out a little. I"m 35 and have been clean for 33 days now. My DOC is soma. I was taking up to 30 pills a day when I realized how insane my life was. I was spending SOOO much money on the. Buying from the internet and whatnot. I walked around in a haze of numbness. Which worked for my bad feelings but numbed any good ones I might have had as well. I am married to the worlds greatest man, have two kids and two newly acquired kids. ( I dont like step kids much ) I have a great job and a wonderful home. Other than the fact I"m an insanely addicted pill head, life is great!! I"m still confused, I'm still insane but its getting better and for today, just today I am sober!! Thanks for letting me share.

Hey Kelly,
I've talked to you before on the PA site, but came here because I like to read more stories not totally about 12 steps, but recovery in general. I hope you're doing well and talk to you soon.

Dear Kelly,
Welcome here as well. Here I am too and here I will stay.So glad I was led here. It was meant to be.Kept my post name from the other site, think weve posted each other there but not sure..My taper isnt going so well right now...am having a really hard time with it..
Dont know if you ever read my story about Soma on the other board. One of my best friends died from an overdose of Soma. it was pretty awful. she had everything to live for to the world who knew who, but she was trapped deep in the web of addiction to Soma, and it finally killed her.
many people dont think about the fact that it is a muscle relaxant and your heart is a muscle. Glad youve kicked the habit, however you did it.
Today would have been her birthday.her mom came over today and brought me a special angel blanket,to wrap myself up in when im feeling down..sure need it right now..anyway welcome over to this board!
Hugs,
Ali

Hello,to all here on this post ..I havent posted to any of you and like to say WELCOME!!! Im trying to remeber names with stories from this post,Kelly,i also take soma for my back ...My DOC was perocets ........Im on suboxone and im trying to get off it maybe when i find something for deprestion i will come off im on 4mgs a day.Its been great all except the deprestion part......I dont like soma and dont get anything out of them and dont use on a daily basic in fact havent had any in a few weeks.i do know a few woman on them.What are the w/d systoms with soma?I do know one person had OD on them also and she is ok.But,she had to get her stomah pumped.I wanted to jump in here and speak with you all and say welcome and talk alittle with you.. about your post but,i can remember all.If you all havent told your story would love to hear.I hope you get plenty of help from here.Keep comeing back and posting and hope we can be at help and comforty to you all..Sorry my brains not working right now.need to get off before husband comes in fussing at me ...lol.later ..crystal
crystal thanks for the encouragement and thanks to everyone else as well :) Soma w/d is mostly pyschological... anxiety attacks, pounding heart, depression. I did have some cramping and headache but not to bad. Lots of tremors though. It is highly addictive. Most dr.'s wont even prescribe it anymore... I've been taking it on and off, more on of course, for 10 years. I spent thousands of dollars and lost several relationships over this drug. I could go on but the most important thing is that I realized if I didnt stop abusing them I would die. I will always be an addict but with my HP's help, I will be a recovering addict. Glad you wrote, I love meeting new people!!!
