This is Aaron (aka. Wade). One of the main reasons I've decided to quit is that for the first time in my life, I don't respect myself. I'm wondering what were the reasons that you all decided to quit? I haven't experienced the rock bottom that everyone talks about, but then again, I don't want to. With alcohol I did experience some rock bottoms, but I've got alcohol under control. Then again, I have to wonder if I have it under control only because I've switched to oc...I'm sure this is the case...Were their specific incidents that made you quit or did you just reach a point in your life when you knew it was time to quit?

I'm afraid of dying, plain and simple.....
I had a friend die from taking too many pain pills - died of liver failure.... He would take 50-60+ a day, plus he was an alcoholic, and I've never been that bad off..... But I HAVE been taking them for over 2 years, I do take 3 1/2-4 at a time (about 10-15 a day), they HAVE caused depression and anxiety and all that crap....
I want to live to see my 3 yr old grow up.... I want to be around to grow old and gray (okay, so I'll never be gray... that's what haircolor is for... lol)....
If I don't get a handle on this, I may not live.

Wanted my life back. Wanted to be healthy and know my liver wasn't on overdrive. The time and money it took to take 14-16 norcos a day was wearing me out. Could go on and on. Bottom line is.......needed to get clean and face life clean for me, my husband, and my 2 children. It has been the best decision I ever made! 43 days down..........many more days to go.
Tmom I am so proud of you!!!!How are you today....mj
I was sick of being completely dependent on a pill to function...And I was getting very very sick...
I also wanted my soul back...the game for me isn't over yet. There are things that I still want to do, and if I am in hydrohell, I won't get there.
I also had kids, and wanted to give them better. I wanted to be present for them, not just there..

Kerry, how did the pills make you sick?
I swear, I catch more infections (not down there, LOL) and get sick so much easier when I am on those things.... I never really put the two together, always just thought my son brought home little bugs from daycare, but could it be possible that the drugs weakened my immune system? (Of course it can be possible, I guess... Just never really thought about it....)

I was starting to have some serious side effects....I looked very sick also...like a junkie...
I think it was because of the tylenol..my body just couldn't process it anymore. My side hurt all the time; they thought it was my gall bladder...but you know, since I cleaned up, I haven't felt any pains...
to think that i was going to remove my gall bladder...

For me is was the fact that I knew that my life was worse taking the pills than if I stopped. Of course, it did not seem that way as a rationalized my behavior. But when my 5 year old asked me what I was taking and I lied to her and said vitamins I knew I had to stop. I lied to my daughter, and that is un acceptable.
Also, like Danielle, I also want to live long enough to see her grow up, and the pills kill you. Sure, it is usually slowly, but little by little your soul and physical body become lost to the pills.
I am on my 6th day clean, and feel great. Still having trouble sleeping, but other than that, Im feeling much better.
