hi there, new and looking for advice....

[monkeysmommy26]

Hi, I've been on here a couple weeks, I haven't posted or anything but I see that u all an awesome support group so I feel I'm coming to the right place!

First, a lil about me, I'm 25, and I have a one year old son. I'm married and have been for five years although we've been together for ten total. Over time he has become severely abusive in every way you can imagine. (To me not our son at all)

Anyway right after our son was born, I found out he was snorting percs. I asked him for a few for horrible migraines and well I'm sure u all know where this goes....that became frequent and eventually I also started snorting them. BTW I do anywhere from 40-80mgs everyday.

I'm looking to get out of the relationship and give me and my precious sn a better, happier life. I feel my first step is to get clean, this gives my husband something to control me with as well as something to use against me.

So my questions are....how do u reccomend quitting? What should I expect when it comes to withdrawal? Plz keep in mind I'm prob going to have peer pressure from hubs and I also have NO help at all from anyone w my son so I'll be caring for him 24/7 while quitting. Also feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I don't mind answering & I know I need I'm badly in Ned of support and help.

Hi.. Welcome! Your story made me sad. Im glad you are here & posting tho!!  I think I'd have to agree that a taper would be great for you IF you can do that. Tapers don't work for many of us bc if we had the pills we were gonna take them.
Do you think you can taper?
If not, CT is always an option! Unpleasant, like a nasty flu, but DOABLE even with kids, work, etc...

You are not alone in this!

It sounds like you know what you wanna do, and you've got a good head on your shoulders. With that being said, having no help with your son makes me think you would have more chance of succeeding if you were to wean yourself off over a period of time. It won't be the easiest thing to do. But it's most definitely doable. The withdrawal would be less severe anyway. The peer pressure might be tough, but standing your ground and remembering why you're doing it and what lies ahead is a great motivator. I wish you the best of luck!!
