This morning I woke up at 5:30 and, like most mornings, felt too guilty to go back to sleep. As soon as my husband left for work I logged onto my computer and typed "vicodin addiction recovery" into the search box. I found you guys. What a wonderful board. After reading some of your stories I called my doctor and told him that I was addicted to the pills he's been liberally prescribing me. Then I made an appointment with another doctor to talk about addiction and therapy. I'll see him at noon today. I'm so very scared. I know it will be hard to find the '"fun" in everyday activities again. But I have so many things to be grateful for.
I know I can do this but I need support from people who understand.
Thank you.
Cici,
I am new here too. Seems like a great place to find information AND support.
You took the crucial first steps, good for you!! Please let us know how it goes!

I hope we can pray for each other. This is my third time back here and I almost did not come back here out of shame but no one is judgemental they know addicts relapse. Do you have a goal??? My goal is to be clean sober and as funloving as I always was by our family trip in August. My mom is sick and it may be her last trip dammit she is a great mother I should be able to give her at least that!!!
It's good to see you back Roxy and Nice to have new people.. Welcome CiCi and Detroit Johnny!
No need for shame here.
I don't know how many times I relapsed. I can't count that high. lol.
I have faith in you all that you'll get there. You have to really want it and ask for help. There is nothing wrong with asking for help! It doesn't mean you're weak. It means you're smart.
