Hi wotooly, How many of the li'l devils are you snorting? Sounds like you have a lot of reasons to quit opiates. Your children, work, posessions, your sense of self are all on the line here. Can't you go to rehab? Can you afford to see a doctor about Suboxone?
Ye can't live like a junkie... you could end up on the street!! I feel very bad for you, 'tis not easy to quit opiates, but it can be done.
Do you have family that will support you if you decide to get off the junk? Is there anyone that will watch after your children?
I wish you all the best,
sweetlemon

I don't have regular computer access or I would have commented sooner. Please google the Thomas recipe opiate withdrawal for the journal Thomas wrote on his quest to stop opiates and the recipe of over the counter medications and supplements that he used for the symptoms of withdrawal. I know you are in an especially tough situation. I will say some Huge Prayers for you and your kids. Have someone ask a pharmacist in your area if there are any low or no cost programs for people trying to quit opiates. Sometimes there are, but, because the need is so great and so many people have the same problem several times, they keep the info quiet, to avoid a flood of people asking for those programs. Suboxone ( it is an opiate replacement) might be an option for you. It can be expensive, but, it also works. Go to the suboxone homepage and find the doctor locator and put your city in.

pattishan, You covered everything! Excellent advice!!
Thank You Sweetlmom, believe it or not, I always think of something else I forgot. Suboxone is about $8 a pill where I am but CVS will fill as small as 2 pills for me as a partial refill without making me feel bad. Some states pay for suboxone for people on medicaid/or medicare, but not all states. I don't know if berkitt rickheiser ( manufacturers of suboxone) have any programs. Pharmacists tend to know of programs that will help people in similar situations. Most people only really need one 8 mg pill of suboxone per day and that will last over 24 hours. Try to start and stay on the lowest dose possible. It works in 15 to 45 minutes after it has been taken to relieve ALL withdrawal symptoms. It is safer than opiates to take, but you shouldn't drink on it, most of the time, you can't take benzos either.
