Wow, well that is quite a lot of tylenol for your liver. I was taking vicoden 7.5/750 and percs 5/325. I tried to quit cold turkey but kept relapsing so I finally got on suboxone and today the 7th is 3 months with no pain pills.

Is there a reason you don't want to tell anyone? I know it is embarassing to admit when you are addicted to something, but your family can offer you support and you can get some f2f support.

Edit: I was taking anywhere from 13 to 17 pills in the end. Morphine makes me ill to, I have taken oxys, but only when that was all I could get.

Are these meds prescribed to you? You can always go to your doctor and I am sure he/she will help you.

Welcome Stedfast,

I was addicted to codeine #4. Well any codeine I could get my hands on for that matter. lol

I was told codeine wasn't as bad as some of the other stuff, or maybe I just wanted to believe it wasnt. It sure had a hold on me. I thought there was no hope, I thought I was a weak person. Once I started asking for help my life changed. I have been codeine free for 5 months now.

You can be free of the codeine too. You have already started by comming here. There are a lot of options for you, a taper plan, Cold Turkey, in or out patient detox, suboxone, there are so many different ways to stop. Many people here have had great success in a number of different ways.

I truly believe no one can do this alone. NA/AA is a great place to start for support. Addicts understand addicts and don't throw stones. You can find support "hot lines" in your local phone book. Look at this site and see if something suits you.

Suboxone helps with withdrawls and take away the cravings and gives your brain time to heal itself.

Like Catherine said there are lots of ways to get clean, but if your not willing to cut off your sources or rather stop taking them from whomever, then it will be really hard to stay clean. I learned that the hard way. You have to cut your sources so you don't have access to pills. Otherwise the temptation will always be there for you to take them again.

I know you think your family will react this way, but how do you know for sure?

it started a few years ago just as alternative to smokeing weed, then it stopped for a few years, i stopped drinking and smoking and i was clean for a good 2 years, then one day i was staring at a bottle of t3s and desided to take 5 or 6 to catch a buzz, and that was it, i loved it. now its a good year later and the high is gone but the pills are still there, i take about 10 pills at time, about 3 times a day, weather its t3 or t1. and it just goes on like that, same thing every day, i used to not bother with tylonal ones and would only take tylonal 3, but that changed cause when the t3's where gone i would freek out . now i take what i can get as offten as i can get it

What thumper is trying to say is, whom are you taking them FROM? Who is he and who is she?
15
the people i take them from are both perscribed them, he is deaf, and they arnt a close couple and there communication sucks, so basicly i steal them and she thinks its him who is stealling them not me, and he thinks that shes the one takingthem all, they dont communicate and they think the other is a liar so i get off scot free and they just blame each other. i can buy tyanol 1 over the counter in the drug store. 200 for 9 bucks
16
my girlfriends parents are the him and her
17
you steal them and also buy them over the counter...tylenol #1
18
take the tylonal 3. buy the tylonal 1

Stadfast,

Your in Canada aren't you? You can buy T1's over the counter. Anything with codeine in it you need a script for here.

Suboxone isn't avaliable yet in Canada. Many people from Canada come here and say they can't wait until it gets approved there.

I understand wanting to keep your addiction private. I could not tell anyone. I have a very cold uncareing family and telling them would not have helped me at all. That's why NA/AA is so great. I talked to people who understood because they were addicts like me.

Do you have a plan for quiting yet? Or are you just fed up and don't know what to do at the moment?

Your going to be fine. This nightmare will be over in no time.
