Thanks for answering me. U had asked how many oxy I was on, well 6 20mg aday. Also no my doctor dos not know (yet). I'm scared to tell her, what if she would take my kids from me? My kids r my life, no man, no one. The other drug I'm on is percocet and I eat them like candy 9 to 12 aday. The people who I think r my friends aren't, they keep me in touch with my pills when I need them. My boys or 5yrs and 3yrs old and god knows I would never hurt them when I go get my stuff there NEVER there with me. I can't lose them I would kill my self. My thing is theres NO one I know who will help me. The 1 person is I thought would help me either calls me her ex pill head friend (like me) tells me she was never as bad as I am or she never follows through. I called reh. my self the gave me the matho. clinic and they told me I need to either be on or used heroin before. Please tell me whats wrong here? So if u can help (please) help me..
NEED AFRIEND 2, Shannon
Allalone,
Hey there. I just read this. I wanted to get a feel for your use before I said much. I think the best thing you can do is go to your doctor and tell him/her
exactly what you are using and that you want to get off. The most ideal way would probably be to go into rehab. and allow someone to help you with your kids. You know it won't be easy to come off. There is physical withdrawl and then there is the emotional addictive component which lasts alot longer. If you do not feel you can do it this way then don't give up. Go to your doctor and tell them exactly everything you are on and allow them to slowly wean you off. It will take alot longer to get off the drug but you will do it and then eventually be clean. I cannot stress to you enough how important it is to have supervision during this process. I know alot of people do it without and cold turkey but you are on alot and you have the bipolar component to deal with. There are also risks in coming off meds. and so you are gonna need some help with this one. However, you can do it. I am certain of this and you do not have to lose your children in the process. It's just that you gotta have support. More than just this board. NA meetings, outpatient rehab., keep researching it. Just don't try to do it by yourself. Okay? I sure hope you find some help. I know you want to do this and I am here to support you. Keep writing and I'll look for ya.
Love,
PM

SHANNON,
pregnantmom GAVE REALY SOUND ADVICE TO YOU. I HAVE POSTED TO YOU ON OTHER THREADS ON THIS SITE AS I HERE YOUR FEAR AND RELATE TO YOUR DRUGS OF CHOICE.
I USED BOTH PERCS AND OXYS. THE OXYS ARE A b**** TO COME OFF OF BUT IT CAN BE DONE... IM SURPRISED THAT THE METH CLINICS DON"T INCL OXY USERS IN THE PROGRAM AS THEY ARE KNOWN AS SYNTHETIC HEROIN HERE IN CANADA.
OK, HERE IS WHAT I HAD TO DO....PLEASE USE MY EXPERIENCE AS A GUIDE LINE NOT ADVICE OK???
I WITH FEAR AND SHAME WENT TO MY DR AND TOLD ALL!! NOT EASY!!
WITH HIS SUPERVISION I WEANED/TAPERED OVER A TWO MONTH PERIOD. I STILL HAD WDS THOUGH AND THIS MADE IT A CHALLENGE.THIS BEING ONE OF THE REASONS DOIN IT ON YOUR OWN AT HOME IS NOT ALLWAYS SUCCESSFUL.
THEN I WENT INTO A TREATMENT PROGRAM TO LEARN THE TOOLS TO MEET LIFE ON IT'S TERMS AND STAY CLEAN. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT EITHER NA OR AA MEETINGS WILL HELP.PLEASE GO SHANNON. ... YOU FEAR LOSING YOUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN AND THAT IS REAL. BUT YOU STAND THE CHANCE OF LOSING THEM MORE SO WHILE USING.... GETTING CLEAN AND STAYING CLEAN WILL KEEP THEM AND GIVE THEM THE MOTHER THEY DESERVE. YOU DESERVE RECOVERY.
