Scaredandalone1981 · Answer

You are not powerless. You CAN beat this. It's not uncommon for people to occasionally slip. The important thing is that you know you slipped! You know you have a problem and you did the right thing by coming here for support. If you don't mind my asking, is this your first battle with addiction? I am on day 1 of my first battle. It's rough but it is possible to over come it!

Just keep pushing threw you can do this .Get rid of that last pill its much eisier to do when there is not any drugs around you to fall back on.This wont last forever ,I know at the moment it feels like it will but it wont.

I know exactly how you feel.  I have been clean now for 10 days.  The first few days/hours were pure hell.  Let me tell you that if you give it some more time you will feel better.  Trust me.  I agree you are not powerless and you CAN beat this.  All I can tell you is that it will pass.  Every day it gets better.  Keep writing and I will be here to respond.  It does get better.

i've been reading these posts for months thinking obout the day that i could quit hydros. i wasn't taking as much as some people that post do, but i was taking around 3 10/325 norco/day for a little over a year. on tuesday i ate my last 2. i think the worst part of the wd's is the worry about not having more. it defininitely is like a terrible flu. legs ache zero focus and a bit edgy. the first 2 days i did nothing but sleep, and now i feel much better. still want the hydros. in fact my connect called today to see if i wanted to refill the script. i really wanted to say yes, because now that i am through the worst of it i can control my use, but i declined.  i'm 3 days clean now and really feel good. i used a variation of the thomas recipe that i've seen a hundred times. anyways, just wanted to post my story. maybe it will give someone hope.
