You all know what I am going trough, well my husband started becoming addicted to pain pills and Xanax. So he said he isn't taking Hydro and got off of them but he still was major
Xanax abuser. It took tree months, but he finaly got off the Xanax too. The other night he told me if I want to take a Hydro I will. WELL today he went to the Dr. and got a srip for pers.
Now they are in my face 24/7 how f**Ked is that !!! I think it is SOOOO mean, and uncaring cause he lie to the Dr. to get so he doesn't need them he just wants some.
I HATE THIS, AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I AM GOING TO DO !!!!!

Marina - I don't know what his twisted motives are, but my suggestion to you is to get to an NA meeting to vent and for support. Jim
Marina,
Tell him that he just can't under any circumstance leave them in the house......sounds like he may have an addiction problem too. This is not a good thing for you or for him either. He hasn't been off the xanax long enough he might be trying to substitute. Now you could flush them......wouldn't that be a b****......Whatever you need.....I am here....

That is really f***ed up?, shows no resect for how you feel, u know what u shold do and i would do it in a heart beat, call the docs office and tell them he lied to obtain a script and that he is a addict, and tell them not to say anything about you, and they will not, put will put a private note in his chart and they won't give him anymore and he will have no cluse as to why??
my husband had 3 cracked ribs and was dying in pain, wnt to the doctor, he offered him some vics and he thought of me and said no, see thats the diffrence he thought of me, and suffered then i feel bad because he did not get them when he really needed them because of me. i swear men can be so inconsitate(sp) at times, how many did he get, and why, is he really in pain??
please dont think i am a b****, but that really pisses me off, u are trying hard enough and he rubs them in your face, ahhhhh.. whats up with that?

Well I totally agree with all of you. That is messed up. Jaz-is right he could have kept it to himself and never put it in your mind. You did NOT deserve that smack in the face by him. He should be ashamed of himself. Uncaring and inconsiderate is all I can say. Hang in there try HARD not to let this bring you down. Tell him how you feel about what he has done and then tell him he needs to keep them from you. he should already know he hurt your feelings and if he doesn't than he is just straight up selfish! If you need to talk I am here too! Rae
Marina and jazmine.....
1st a great big hi to you both. 2nd. The guy is a jerk and there are no excusses as to why he did this.!!!! Im not one to talk , but, maybe you (marina) could turn this into a learning expirience for you. How long have you been off the pills??? I dont know you very well and i dont think i have ever talked to you before , but i have been reading along the post to keep up with everyone. I think that if you can prove to yourself that you can get through this, just think of what eles you will be able to get through!!!! We all know that this is hard enough to get through and we are the first to know about relapsing and the horrible w/d that come with the territory of taking a pill to get through the day. But it has made me feel more like a person when i have the stupid pills in front of me and said NO WAY. Maybe you can do the same. Like i said before... i dont know if you can do it, i couldnt at one point eaither. Maybe god is tring to prove something to you. FIGHT BACK with everything you have in you. And when you feel you have no more.... Write to all your friends on this post and we (or at least i ) will help fight with you. i know this is just a computer, but it has been the best support that i have ever had. I would like to try to be a friend to you if you need one!!!!! JAZMINE, your advise is GREAT I would call the DR. on him too!!! I miss you lots and lots and LOTS . Please write a post to me if you get this one. I have so much stuff to write to you about.
Your FRIEND , Christina

Marina, the Xanax is a b**** to get off. I did it. It took about 10 weeks. It's EXTREMELY addicitng. After only two weeks or so. Way more mental than physical. The only way you can describe getting off of Xanax is a constant 10 week acid trip. It's bad. He's subbing is what he is doing. I also quit booze. My wife still has some beers. It's friggin hard watching her drink some when I know I can't, so you are not alone. And I didn't have a HUGE problem with booze. But it runs in the family and I decided to "nip it in the bud" so to speak. But I was addicted to it. I know that. That's why I'm quiting Vic's. I have a dose so low most people would laugh at, but to me, it's a big deal. It's for very legit pain, but I'd rather go through the pain than be an addict to it. I know how I am, and if I don't stop now, I'm in trouble. It's just hard with temptation all around. SO HANG IN THERE.
PS- Jaz is right. I'd call the Doc. When I quit Xanax, I actually did it without my Doc's knowing, and he was kinda pissed. I called him after and said "no matter how much I beg, don't give me another script" and then I also told him he should never give that drug to anyone again..

That's horrendous. He should have kept it to himself if he had no control over himself. He didn't need to involve you; however, maybe he's looking for a partner in crime. He won't feel so guilty if he can get you back into it too. Don't give in!!!!
STAY STRONG!!!
You are doing soooo well so don't let this get you down. You have no control over what he does - you can only focus on you and control what you do with this.
And you're doing it so keep on doing it!!
What an a$$!!

Dan, How low is your dose of Vicodin? I won't laugh because I think I am on the lowest dose there is and it is not cause the doctor has me on the low dose it is me. I take a 5mg vicodin in the morning and sometimes(1)- 5mg in the evening. They are the lortab(blue 10's) I just split them in half. I have been skipping the evening dose for the past couple nights but I am soo tempted to take one now.My legs are what bother me the most at night. I am being prescibed 4 10's a day but I have NEVER taken even half that amount. I really need to stop now because my pain is getting better and now I am just hooked on the fact that I have them and knowing I have them makes me feel good. Isn't that sick.Crazy sh*t huh? Mentally I am preparing myself to say goodbye to pills once again.However, it is hard to say good bye to a life long friend. I will stop altogether by this coming monday and to hell with it.I am so determined to not let this get the best of me again. I quit for 10 months last year and started again. I can't believe I would do this to myself again,well you take care and write me back,Rae
Rae, You are I are both on a low dose comapred to people I know. I tapered from 30mg to 15 now and planning to go to 10 on Thursday. Then down to 5 and then down to none. Some on another board gave me a schedule and I'm two weeks into it and I'm sticking to it. I've only has 5 mg today. I've only taken them for 90 days, but opiates get you pretty quick. When I quit Xanax in rehab, people were telling me they were taking 20-30 pills at a time. I feel guilty when I take 1/2. But after what I went through with Xanax, I am paranoid about almost ANYTHING.
Rea and Danny
it does not matter how much and how long, if its a problem to you and you are dealing with it then I can do nothing but congratulate you

OK- Thats a challenge...
PS Rae- I know what you are talking about when you have them. You feel "safer" I guess. I did with Xanax. I don't plan on a refil of my Vic's. I'll take the pain instead. I was talking to my sister-in-law today, who is a full blown Vic addict, and admits it and is getting clean. I said you feel "warm" when you take them. She put it another way. She said you feel like a warm blanket is being wrapped around you. But, I'd rather be naked in the rain than need that crutch of the warm blanket..

THANKS GUYS : LOVE TO YOU ALL :-)
He is home and has not said a word about it, he hid them. I know cause he asked me if I would go check the mail (he was getting me out of the house ). I know that they are in the house and Honestly I DON'T CARE ! I have no desire to look for them or even take one. Cause that would set my back way back to square one, and I have worked way to hard to get were I am :-) IT FEELS DARN GOOD to honestly feel this way.
I am Going to my Detox Dr. tom. and I am excited to find out what my next step is for me !!!!!!
Marina ~
You all are my friends, family, and always have been there when I need you!
I only hope that I will be able to do for you the way you all have done for me
