I think my days of getting along on norco are over

[devisatedandscared]

I'm so scared, im a single mom of 2 children a professional in the medical field. Today i attempted to get a prescription filled with a forged rx from my work. As I was waiting the said they needed to verify with the doctor. I got up and left. Since then my job called me...im havent called back yet.

The withdrawal is already setting in and this feeling is exactly why I did what I did.

Is my life over? When will I be arrested. I have no criminal record at all. I'm afraid I'm going to lose custody of my children.

i am so relieved to hear that your boss declined to press charges.  
that should give you a huge sigh of relief.  whewwwwwwwwwwwww
motye is right, this should be a huge wake up call.   it would be all i need to never touch another pill again.  
are you feeling better????

I'm making it thru. I obviously lost my job of 12 years. My boss still loves me but obviously cannot have me in office anymore. It has been a real awakening believe me. I cannot believe the power of addiction. I'm so not the typical person you'd think to be using anything, so for this to come out is so embarrassing! I have been very ill coming off the meds, but honestly I don't ever want to see another yellow pill!!!! My life is too valuable to me and those that love me. Yes I'm going to experience serious hardship the next few months. And I'm terribly depressed, but I would take living everyday feeling like I'm dying at home, than in prison.
I've been fortunate enough to have family help me with my kids this week. Thank the lord! I'm so thankful to have had this forum to call upon during this most difficult time. Just knowing I'm not alone has helped me from doing something stupid. Yesterday I actually looked up how long it takes to die in your garage with the car running!!!!! This is the power of this addiction...im a beautiful smart mom of gorgeous kids...i cant believe it even crossed my mind. Here's to day 3.5 without my best friend hydro :)

Well, you definatly made the right decision for your life! It wont be long before you start feeling a bit better, and then it will get better, day by day! May i recommend epsom salt baths b/c they helped me immensly!
I wanted to mention to you, the picture of the "typical" junkie has been SHATTERED by this forum! We are mothers, fathers, doctors, nurses, lawyers and construction workers! Oops, and small business owners (that would be me). We all managed to get addicted to pills, h, you name it. Doesnt make us less, it actually means we all have alot in commen. I would bet (and i may b wrong) you started taking pills b/c of the energy they gave you to get up every morning, get your kids going, work all day, cook dinner, go to grocery, pay bills, etc.... as this is the most commen reason i hear people say as to why they started these pills??? Sound familiar?
Keep pushing yourself, dont get mad when you dont see miracles, but you will have small positive steps forward, i promise. I am a little over 7 months....and omg, what a difference time makes...i swear to u!

huni there is no typical addict. addiction does not discriminate, it crosses all socio-economic barriers, creeds, races and nationalities.
the professional, the construction worker, the homeless, doctors, lawyers,
teachers, mothers, fathers, homemakers, actors, etc...... they all have the potential to become an addict.

I am so sorry you lost your job. I hope and pray that no charges will be pressed against you.
start exercising, move around as much as possible it will help with the depression.
please get yourself into some counseling, support groups, church,
to help prevent relapse. you have to work a recovery program.

the recovery road is a marathon not a sprint.
the chains and bondage of addiction are being broken.
