well where to start well it started 79 days ago and that began my new life which i am enjoying very munch thanks to a whole lot of people on here and of coarse the will to quit crushing vicodin and snorting it up my nose ..for once my nose is clogged but not from pills ..caught the flu ,but hey i would rather have the flu then be a stinking pill head the rest of my life or until one night when i would have did to munch and possibly ended up dead ..was almost there a couple times but thanks to med help i decided that lifestyle was just going to end up killing me so now i look back 80 days tomorrow i know people who still use some family don't hang around them there in another state but they say jeff how can you quit it must have just su cked and i am like well yeah for like 4 to 5 days that's the worst of the physical; then it's just the mind games but there not so bad really ..i mean i got family that will act like quitting vicodin is like totally the worst thing and i want to let people know it does get better the people that say other wise i don't know ,it's not that bad and when your done life changes and it changes for the better so anybody thinking about doing it DO IT ...JUST DO IT it's not like the worse and you can do it ,so be strong and give it a try..well just want to end by saying thanks to all of you you helped me get my life back i have a good job now go to work do my job they do random drug test so that's a plus if there ever was a thought but there has never been another thought since i quit NOT A ONE ..i don't want them no more i won't even take a Tylenol cause that's in vicodin and i don't want nothing to do with that crap no more really ..so THANKS i appreciate everything med help & the substance abuse forum has done for me..god bless you all...jeff..

heck yeah thanks to everyone you all are the best and to gnarly pretty munch just working all the time and i really haven't had thoughts so i just work and my job does randoms so if i ever did mess up might as well just quit my job cause i would be fired..lol..and watch Dr drew he's my one hour session but that's been about it for recovery care just not wanting them ,preaching to others and going to work and chilling with drug free friends and family..but if i ever felt the need i would seek something but nothing has ever come up. i don't want them, heck i even gave up smoking pot and i didn't even care about if i ever quit that but for the job i decided to go 100% clean and it's going great but i will always keep it in my head and if the need arises it will be there ..thanks guys and god bless.jeff..

OMG we are totally in the same boat! My best friend (or so i thought) and i would get ******up off vics all the time.  Now that Ive quit, she has literally called me once! We've been talking about quitting together for so long but she wont even make the decision to quit, she keeps making excuses why she needs to continue to take them and i understnad becuz thats what i used to do until i finally came to terms with myself that i had a problem and knew that i was just making up excuses too. Today is my 6th day clean, and I got off easy wd wise! I really never had it that bad, just rls at night, which is still going on a little bit but id say theres someone above that was shinning down on me the first few days lol.  Or its the fact that i kept telling myself "im done" I had and still have no desire to take another one of those yellow devils again! The only way i can help her at this point is to not get them for her cuz i was her supplier basically, but do you think thats a good idea?  Because I know one time i didnt have any for almost a day and i got really sick, sicker than I have these last 6 days, becuz my mind was racing about getting another pill, and that was it. But thats where her issue comes in, she didnt have any for a like 8 hours and she got really sick! But she takes only 1.5 a day, where as i took 4-7 a day, do you think the mental part of me telling myself i was done helped me get thru it?? I gotta get her off these things, or im afraid we will no longer have a friendship.  All we had in common it seems was stripping and popping pills, and now that i dont do either one, we are falling apart!

Thanks, Jodi

ps.  you might be visualizing a typical strung out stripper but not to toot my own horn but her and I walking down the street would never be thought of as strippers or pill poppers LOL! That was the worse part cuz we've kept it so hidden from our friends and loved ones.  And she still is.......

80 days that's awesome. Remember when 10 felt like a long time? You need to take your right hand and reach acroos your chest as far as you can and then pat yourself on the left side of your back.lol. That's great. I'll agree with everything you said about MedHelp and the rest of the gang here. They've done so much in getting me to day 69.  

You know, at 80 days you could have gone around the world in a hot air balloon in that amount of time.
Good job Jeff, keep it up.

Congratulations to you on your 80 days.

Keep adding them up!
