addiction

[JSSbabyboysoon]

Let me start off by saying please don't judge me... I'm addicted to pills I do need them I have back problems and anxiety and depression.. The Dr. Did give me depression medicine but it doesn't seem to be helping. I cry about my addiction every day. I haven't talk to anyone about my addiction because I don't want anyone to judge me. It's killing me inside and making me more stressed out. Does anyone know how to just quit? I know that sound stupid but I'm for real.

I have no knowledge or experience with addiction but i would suggest making sure you seek medical help.  Quiting cold turkey could do more harm than good.  Secondly i wish you all the best in your journey. I expect it will be extremely hard but once you hold your little one you will find that your love for him/her will be worth way more than anything else in the world!  Best of luck!  You can do it!

The most effective treatment for depression/anxiety is a good anti depressant (non narcotic) combined with good therapy. About 25% of people have an addiction. You're totally not alone. Have you been to a 12-step meeting our something similar? Many counties fund treatment for periods of time for addicts, maybe you can look into programs

Please don't just quit like that. You need to wean off them with your docs help. Withdrawal is horrid. I had it when changing meds few years back.  Seek professional help from docs and counsellors that helped me with depression and now I've been med free for close to a year. You can do it.

I got pregnant when i was 16 . I was addicted to meth. I wasnt in school i lived from house to house. My mom tried everything to get me help but id always run away and she eventually gave up we did have communication i just didnt see her as much as i did before i started using . the moment i found out i was pregnant i knew i had to stop using but i knew i couldnt do it alone.
I called my mom and told her i need help i wanna quit using she cried and picked me up immidiatly the mext day i was checked into a rehabilition center for teens. They confirmed my pregnacy their and then when they also let my mom know i was pregnant because i didnt tell her the real reason iwanted to get clean... Most moms freak out when they find out their 16 year old is pregnant but my mom was happy. She said God answered her prayers. She said she prayed every night for god to do something to open my eyes that i was going down the wrong path. Although she said of course she didnt ask i get pregnant but it happen. And to this day she says shes glad it did. Im 18 now happy with my beautiful healthy daughter i got my GED. And my bf and i are expecting another babygirl this month.
You can get clean if you really want too! I will tell you it was hard for me being in rehab i.felt like a real fein id cry and throw things hit the staff i got arrested for about an hour in their because i was goimg crazy. But it was well worth it im living an amazing life with my babygirl. I hope nuthinn but the best for you

As a recovering addict myself, I can tell you that the only reason I got clean was bc I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (almost 10yrs ago). I was just done with my drugs of choice the minute I left the hospital doors with a prescription for prenatal vitamins. Something inside me just kept saying, ''There's no high worth her pain.' As scary as this sounds, speak to your doctor immediately so they can assist you with detoxing, not just for your own health but for baby's as well. Find someone that you can confide in, and don't hold back. The more honest you are with yourself, the more effective your sobriety will be. It's all a matter of willpower, and you have a great inspiration growing inside you. Good luck, sugar.

Thank you everyone I'm gonna keep trying to take less and less until im not taking anything I don't want anything to happen to my baby boy and I try to find someone or a group to talk to. I appreciate everyone not judging me

Whatsoever*

No judging once so ever! You've done the first step. Find a group and I bet you will see the more you share the more support you will get. We are here for you. I agree to talk to some groups and people who have battled the same fight you are going through.

[blessedmomoftwo]

I know it took allot to share your story but if I were you I would keep on pushing and try to stop. Find any groups or programs that may can help. Maybe a different doctor as well. If you are pregnant it's very important you try to get help for your addition praying helps and heal all thing's.

I suffer from depression and anxiety as well. I use to struggle with self harm and taking pills as well to numb myself.

Honestly, the only thing that has helped me is talking to a couple of good friends and my husband. If I know things are getting bad, I make sure I'm with someone else. Also, knowing that my choices could harm my LO really impacted me As I had 2 previous miscarriages and didn't want to go through that pain again.
