1500 plus days off Heroin I had to it was killing me...James
Day 11! Cold turkey off oxymorphone 10 mg twice a day and Vicodin 60 qd. I just pretended I was getting chemotherapy like my poor sister went through. Lots of hot Epson salts baths, walking for 10 minutes every hour, BRAT diet ( bananas, rice, applesauce and tea) in little frequent meals, lomotil, Cymbalta ( helps with pain and depression) and just plain determination. Proud of myself for every hour!
My name is lola. I'm addicted to dihydrocodeine ..granted it's not heroin but the amount which I take converts to a dose of heroin. Iv battled this for years n years since I was 15 it got worse. At 12 I suffered bad headaches and the doc introduced me to high doses of codeine. They would make me feel good and rid the headaches but then I had rebound headaches so would take more and more. Then when I got my hands on dihydrocodeine I knew this was my DOC and I don't get headaches at all anymore but I'm highly addicted. I take on average 25x30mg pills daily. I should b going to rehab soon though so we'll see... Xxlove this site

Hello Karen. Congrats on two months! I am on day two and really struggling with the cravings. I saw on your roll call post that you attend N/A meetings online. There are not very many N/A meetings in my area and right now I am too sick to go to AA physically. Can you give me info about online meetings? It would be much appreciated and so helpful!

hello friends, name is Cheryl . Just joined but long opiod addict. I am on day 2 and very sick today but finally having some support from you fine people I don't feel so alone and hopeless. I'm just damned tired of being a slave to pills. Look forward to getting to know all of you.
Just celebrated my year at the end of January, thought I'd check in with everyone! I'm doing well, actually having a BABY BOY in May!! Woohoo, life is good. I still see a counselor and address my triggers, but am so thankful for the friends and help I had on here. One day at a time is all we are given, and so live it like your last!! Clean is ALWAYS better!
118 days since my last drink of alcohol.
Though alcohol is NOT my drug of choice, I could see how occasional use could have lead me into forming a new addiction. I am not against alcohol, but have learned that for a bipolar/addict like me, it is best I avoid anything that could become a new addiction. Luckily, I don't crave it or want any, but decided to make a new ticker to give me accountability to prevent myself from thinking it was okay to drink.
Wow ABN, congrats brother.
950 days since my last dose of methadone,
WE are making it one day at a time, never stop growing.

Hey. Names ike and today is 153 clean and sober from all alcohol and drugs. After benzo's nearly ruined me, I'm working on a great new life. Couldn't have done it without med-help. Thanks to all. Good Luck everyone!
My name is Cathy and I am an opiate addict. Have been for years. But I have been clean for 6 days now and I am not going back this time! I had a spinal surgery and that's all it took. The doctor gave me some Percocets for pain and BAMB!! Addicted again. For me 1 pill is all is takes, plus the morphine in the hospital. I was so hooked again. I appreciate all the support and understanding from all of you, and couldn't have gotten this far w/o all you good people and the Grace of God. Thanks! Kat

ok i am new to this but hello i am an alcoholic drug addict and i go by libralair here. i am working on being clean. i havent had any drugs for about 10 days but i am still drinking alcohol.. i really want to give it up. i have done it before but for some reason this time it is really giving me a problem to just finally walk away from it. The only time i do drugs is when i am drunk and have money. money is such a trigger for me. i am not talking about every day money, like bill money or grocery money but tax money or because i go to college, refund money, any large sum of money is a trigger it is like as soon as i know it is on the way my mind starts plotting out the plan on how, where, when and how much? it makes me sick to my stomach when i am doing it and still i do it. why?? it just doesnt make sense. it isnt like im dumb or not intelligent in any way. i am a grwon *** woman with 2 grown successful daughters i raised by myself, i go to college full time and carry a gpa of 3.6 and have for 6 semesters. made the deans list 6 times in a row , not to toot my own horn but not stupid here UNTIL IT COMES TO FREAKIN COCAINE AND SUBSTANCES OF THE SAME CALIBER!!! what the hell???? why do i become a RETARDED IDIOT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT AND ALCOHOL!!!! i know what is going to happen and i do it anyway. sorry i didnt mean to rant and i am probably in the wrong place my bad.
