Question

Pain Pills
1
hello everyone,long time no speak,today is 53 days without pills i'm still battling the deppression thing,anyways i was wondering and looking back on my life through out the years of useing to escape reailtly and have went through 84 full blown withdraws,i would go 7 to sometimes 2 weeks with out any pills because i would eat them like candy,so i would have to go without until my next refill,i am so glad that crazy s*** is over with,i guess my question is if there is any one on this board that has even come close to 84 full blown withdraws,and the reason i ask is because on alot of the threads i have read people saying they have been through wd a couple of times,so basically i would be the most stupidest mother f***er of them all,unless anybody can beat 84,think about it and tell the truth..........vinny

Vinny, I know exactly what you mean. I was on vics for 7 years and I would eat my supply in the first 1 1/2 weeks and then would have to wait until I could get my next script. I never really counted how many wd's I went threw but I know it was a lot. I would make amny visits to the ER with migraines just to get a shot of demerol to help me ease my wd's. Congrats on your 53 days. I was clean for 15 months and started using again because I broke my arm and had surgery. It has been almost 3 months and I am still using but not ofor my arm anymore. I have a few pills left and know I am about to go through those f----ing wd's again. I am scared to death. But I am going to do it. I have to, not only for me but for my 2 kids. I dont want to put them through that again. The lat time I quit I checked myself into a detox/rehab facility for 30 days. That sucked!!!

Jackie,

Hi again and Good morning. I'm actually doing pretty good. I guess you are off from work today, or at least I hope so. I understand and agree entirely with what you said about posting. Sometimes just asking a simple honest question will get one into trouble. Seems we addicts are pretty thin skinned and get our feathers in a dander over nothing, lol.

Well my friend, do what is best for you and your Recovery. But just know that you have been missed around here. Have a good day.

God bless,

Vinny this is why this is such a great forum hun people read messages that are not even intended and if it helps more power to the people that use this way of getting help as long as they look at the positive and not negative. jackie xxx

Vinny i think it is pretty safe to say that you take home the trophy for most withdrawals! That is a lot of trips to hell and back! But 53 days is fantastic.. may i ask what brought on the final straw and how you managed this? thanks

fearnoevil,i really don't have one reason for quitting,it's a combation of many things such as,depperssion,despair,tired of cutting myself off from my family and the world when i ran out of pills and just sick of being sick,i'm still dealing with the deppersion on a dailey bases hopeing that this will go away soon?i would distance myself away from everybody and stay that way until my next refill,that is no way to live,so it took me 84 trips to hell to figure out that i didn't want to go on this way anymore.make no mistake about it i think about useing again all the time,when i get those kind of thoughts i look back at what happens to me when there is no more pills and then every thing becomes clear,i hope this helps......vinny

Vinny, wow! 84 times! Well, if anything it had to make you stronger, right? And congrats on 53 days! When I feel like using (which is often) I think of the pain wds cause. I've only been through them a couple of times (except for the 1 or 2 days I would suffer when I was out of pills), I should say I've only recovered from wds twice, but it was pure hell. I always said I'd rather go through natural child birth again rather than experience wds again. So, it helps keep me clean. Before I found this forum the 2nd time around I thought I was the only person in the world to experience that kind of pain. This forum is great.

Wow! This is only my second time of the REAL thing and I am hoping and praying I can do it. Hang in there, please! Would someone please read my post from earlier today "NEED HELP WITH WITHDRAWAL". I honestly need some help here.

Vinny, I thought that it was the lack of a boner that helped you quit. I noticed you dont post as much since you got your boner ;-)

trideltmom i really didn't do to much for the withdraws except take alot of hot baths and drink alot of water,if withdraw was a pleasant thing none of us would want to quit so rember the pain that you are going through right now so hopefully you will never have to go through it again,and john dee my boner is still as hard as a concrete block,my wife was very happy about that for the first couple of weeks now she seems aggravated,i told her she better put out or she can get out[lol]yea right,well anyways i think i'm going to get off of here and go make love to a watermelon...........vinny

Vinny- I haven't posted to you before but you are SO funny..keep it up (hehe) and hanging in there ! (I would do another pun but I'm tired...). Congrats though!!!

YYYOOOOO!!!! VVVIIIIINNNNYYYY!!!!!
How in the hell are you?
You are so funny, 84 times. I thought that I was the dumbest, but my friend...you take the cake...lol..that is a joke..
I went through about 8 majorly sickning withdrawls..my dr would always give me more if I gave him a stupid enough story. One time, the pharmacist ACTUALLY DELIVERED 90 VICS TO MY 12 YEAR OLD SON WHILE i WAS AT WORK..GO FIGURE. I thought that was madness...
Congrats on the 53 days. Depression is part of it. Have you looked into an antidepressant? Effexxor helped me alot. It will help get the serotonin back in gear.
Stay on track, don't use no matter what...have lots of sex, watch a movie, eat sundaes, whatever floats your boat. It just takes some time, my friend. Give sobriety a chance..
You would be a great comical relief in some meetings,,,,,,have you gone yet???
Keep us laughing, I love your posts. I really can relate to your humor..some are sicker than others!!!!!!!!
