Pills #2

the s***test ever is that a friend of my taught me how to extract codiene from the tylonal 1's so you can get a crazy rush off of consentrated codiene
that high just isn't worth it.... withdrawals suck. altering your brain chemistry. nope, not worth it at all.

you're not alone.

addiction is a disease. we all can relate to it here.

are you sick & tired of being sick & tired?


xoxoxoxoxo
a deaseas?
You can't blame your friend. You did it, no one put a gun to your head and forced you. You can't get better blaming other people. I'm not saying this to hurt you, I'm saying it to help you.

I blamed the doctors for getting me adddicted I blamed everyone but myself. When I took complete responsibility for my addiction everything changed for the better. I was in control and I continue to control my life. It feels good. lol

SF-I'm not trying to be mean but that is info none of us need to know.Getting crazy rushes off anything is what got us here.
What are you planing to do as far as getting help?I have a toll free number in Canada for Narcotics Anonymous.They can direct you to a facility near you.
You don't have to live like this anymore.There is hope.

Here is the number-1-905-507-0100 World Service Office in Ontario.

Call them today.you won't regret it.
Good Luck

BTW.........large amounts of opiates,like codeine sans the acetomineophen,do nothing for the health of the liver.
SteadFast......

Please listen to what the others here are trying to tell you. These people have been where you are, and it gets worse by the day, I can tell you that when you are using.

You said yourself your no longer getting anything from taking them other than I guess damaging your liver. So why do it?

I am saying this out of the most genuine care and concern you have to get HELP now. I wish some how I would of found my way out.......

I ended up being 27 years old with two young children at home in a locked up rehabilitation center rocking back and forth like a baby. It was a horrible scene.

That is what you have to look forward to if you dont find yourself some help.

This is for real, You are playing with FIRE.

Just trying to help you, so you wont get in any deeper like so many of us did.

Hugs, Please keep posting, we are all here to help you.
Steadfast.....Sick & tired of being sick & tired!!!! yup thats the turning point.
You need to realize what you have is a disease.It will ALWAYS be there BUT it does NOT have to control you.

I bet you are feeling so lost,like you dont even know who you are anymore huh?The loniliness of addiction HURTS
The guilt you carry is addictions weapon against you.

Jodigirl & so many other are the ones who are proof there is LIFE after addiction..Please keep talking & hopefully you'll realize YOU CAN DO THIS
tim,,, thank you... you took the words right out of my mouth ... a few less than I would have used...lol.. (yes i know I am short of being brief...lol)....but I had the same thought....

stead.
I have been clean several years and when I read the above post... my first gut instinct was immediate..'wow wonder how you do that'....lol.. I can look at it and find humor now as I have a clear mind and am in a good place right now that it wasnt really a trigger but if my mind can jump in a nano second to that question can you see how someone else just getting started would be triggered to use with that post... it was like an introduction to telling us a how to.... just be careful what and how you post here.... ultimately it is up the the individual to react however then are going to and generally speaking most will say ' as long as you are respectful and honest'.. post what you want... and that is true but it is also wise to be aware of how our words sometimes can be hurtful, come across as mean or self righteous (I learned that one the hard way on here..lol...) or as in the above seen as a trigger....

tell us what you are doing to find recovery.... ?.... as someone said it is a disease... it has been classified as such by the AMA.. however it is not an exuse to do things or not get treatment.... no cure just treatment....

hang in there... and as I havent said it before .. welcome...

with all do respect TIM im just trying to vent and talk to people about my problems which i thaught this board is for, and if im going to get better i have to talk about what is wrong. i gotta do this alone im in no possition to get help from anyone so its going to be that much harder. please be positive with me , i donno what is happening
SF replies-" i gotta do this alone"

Why? No one has to do this alone.Call that number I gave you.At least you can talk to someone.It's a help line.
I'm not trying to be mean at all.I just want you to focus on the solution and not using.
It's o.k. to share anything you need to on this board just be mindful that there are addicts here who are in the same boat as you.What you shared about the "extraction of codeine" can be a huge trigger.
Keep posting and let us know what progress you are making.
Steadfast,

Talk about anything you want. It's good to let go.

I was talking about my doctor shopping and someone told me I was "triggering" them and others to use again. If my posting about doctor shopping made someone use that's their problem that they have to come to terms with.

Drugs are available 24/7 and are very easy to get. As an addict I know I am responsible for me. I have learned that blaming is just an excuse to take drugs.

Keep posting, talking about all of it helped me understand my addiction.

Steadfast-I did a little research and found a number you can call and talk and get some live help.It's located in British Columbia so I don't know where that is in relation to you,but it's free.
1-403-5272065

The people there are trained about substance abuse.
That number I listed before is also available.

No one has to do this alone my friend.There may be something close to you.
Later
i appolagize , i didnt realize that is a huge trigger until you stated it like that.
No problem man.It doesn't bother me personally but its probably not a good ideal to spark that type of curiosity.LOL

More important,how are you feeling?
Have you decided what to do yet?
In all Due respect

Its is one of the biggest debates that addiction is a 'disease"

Anyone living by the AA rules would say that YES addiction is a disease.

Not everyone prescribes to those beliefs however....

Certainly it is anyones right to say that they feel it is a disease.

but it is only that, an opinion...

there are many others that do not believe it is a disease, and i would be amiss

not to speak up for those of us that feel that way...

I realize that the during the last several decades, the dictionary added alcoholism or drug addiction as a disease, it is that common of phrase...and dictionaries update to include common usage..

I would just like to tell the newcomer that this is NOT a 12 step board, and as such, not everyone will think of addiction as a disease..( that you would have for life)

thankyou for allowing me my opinion.

Hugs

im in rough shape right now, my babys mother and i are fighting and i am drinking and popping right now. im donno what to do, she tells me she hates me and she tells me im worthless and they tell me i cant take care of my own kids. I KNOW how to take care of my kids, im alone in my room i have this feeling inside me that wont stop its like anger, pain, lonelness, alone, fury, i feel so low that im just pasing around the house, she is quitting me like she quits everything she has ever done, i try so hard, i changed my life for her and all i get is abandonment! she asked me out, she wanted kids, she wanted me to move in, and i left my old life for her, now she is tossing me out like the bath water, im totally totally f***ed, i didnt go to work i cant to anything but chemicals and i am right now right now and im alone at home and i dont know what to do
All that craziness is just being fueled by the pills.
Your life is unmanageable.
When you can get to a place where you can reach out and make a call you can start getting some hope.
Lots of people have been where you're at right now.You are not alone and if you can just begin to get a little trust,let some other people try and help you.
You are first going to have to detox.
That means stop taking the pills.
It can be done,I've done it and many others on here have.Our lives completely changed for the better.
What are you willing to do for yourself .?
