girlie girlI'm new here and I just wanted to talk to some else who has dealt with a pain killer addiction. I have been on loratab and just about any other pain killers I can get my hands on. None of my friends or family know how bad my addiction is. Please someone tell what is the best way to quit. I have a little girl and I want to be a good mommy. I have partied with just about every drug there is besides herion and crack. Now I have been thinking about trying oxy coton. Because I have heard it is really good. I have grown up with alot of family abuse and I started working in strip clubs as soon as I turned 18. I have a real job now and don't party with any of my old friends. But I cant seem to let go of the need for some type of drug to keep me happy. I almost died on a coke o.d. on my 21st b-day so I don't mess with that anymore. But I love downers..loratab,xanax,alchol,pot, etc. I have even thought about trying herion. Please if anyone has the same kind of addiction, how do I stay drug free? Or am I just bound to be a drugie for life??[:X]

You should try suboxone (buprenorphene).It will take away your withdrawls and cravings allowing you to get your life back in order.Once you feel well enough you wean off the suboxone with little or no problems.I strongly recommend you try this... suboxone.com... Good luck..Dave

reading what you wrote, almost had me thinking i wrote it.
exept the pot part. i have a little girl to and i'm trying to get better. i've been taking vicodin and any other painkiller for the past 5 years, exept heroin.
i'm taking suboxen now and i'm working out taking better care of my daughter and feeling normal, also guilt free!
about you wanting to try herion and oxy's? well you need to decide if you want to get clean for you and your daughter, or if your done expeirementing?
but i got to tell you if you feel like *, and you want to change your life suboxen fu*en works! its a miricle drug and it won't hurt to try! this ain't no after school speical or some sales rep making a profit this is real life biting you in the butt.
addiction is a disease and this could be part of the cure.

Girly Girl, you said you want to be a good mommy for your kid. You won't be a good mommy on Oxy's or heroin. That's some wrong thinking. I'm in my 50's and I started on pain killers in my teens. Back then there were no Oxy's and heroin was only injectable--yuk! Do yourself a favor and just move on with your life in a forward direction--those drugs will take you backwards. Those drugs might give you a nice buzz for a while but the pain it'll cause down the road is NOT WORTH IT! Can you just picture yourself being so zoned out on dope that when your daughter needs you, you'll just be too stupified to help her? And when she asks "Mommy, what's wrong?" what will you tell her?

DON'T DO IT. I am a chronic pain patient and it is people like you that make it difficult for me to get the pain relief I need just to function as a human being.
I have 4 herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sclerosis and major impingement of the thecal sac. Even though I can get around, I am in constant pain. Yes, I am lucky enough to be taking meds that bring down the pain level. But unlike you, I am not chasing some high. I get pain relief.
Start having some compassion for your fellow human. Stop your worthless existance. What kind of parent are you? What kind of person are you?

listen ALAN or wolfman or whoever you are--you've crossed the line now. if you don't have an addiction or are trying to help someone with one, get off the f'ing boards. you are an angry, bitter individual and no one is going to be helped by the venom you spit out. there IS such a thing as tough love and then there is HATE and that is what you are spewing. there. you've brought out the sicilian in me. GO AWAY.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THANT HAS WROTE BACK. ALAN, YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW SH* ABOUT ME OR WHERE I'M COMING FROM. I DO DEAL WITH PAIN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SEVERE CROHN'S DESIESE BUT I ALSO HAVE AN ADDICTION PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE USED DRUGS TO DEAL WITH ALOT OF ABUSE I HAVE BEEN THROUGH . SO UNLESS WORKIED IN THE NASTY ADULT BUSINESS PLEASE DON'T TRY AND PREACH TO ME.I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH ADDICTIONS AND FIND OUT HOW THEY OVERCOME THEM. MY PROBLEM IS I CRAVE THE DRUGS EVEN WHEN I'M NOT IN PAIN. BUT I GAVE MY PILL BOTTLE TO MY HUSBAND LAST NIGHT TO HOLD AND ONLY GIVE TO ME WHEN I'M REALLY IN NEED. I TEND TO JUST EAT PILLS LIKE CANDY... AT THE SLIGHTEST HEADACHE OR IF I'M STRESSED OUT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE ALAN, TO KNOW THAT I AM A GOOD MOTHER, I DO EVERYTHING I CAN FOR MY BABY DOLL AND THATS WHY I'M ON HERE. I GREW UP WATCHING MY MOTHER ALWAYS HAVE TO BE CARRIED TO BED BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO FU*ED UP.

Alan do you honestly think us "addicts" dont feel bad enough about being addicted to this *? You honestly think her existance is worthless? I think mean souled assholes like yourself acts more worthless than someone on here whos trying get help. As I said on the last thread to you,mostpeople ended up addicted after it was prescribed to them, I dont think most of us just woke up one day saying I think I'll go get myself addicted to pain pills today. And I know people with cronic pain after the high not relief.

Alan, I'm sorry, but you DO NOT need to be posting on this forum if that's the kind of attitude you want to have with people who are trying to better their lives. I have read numerous posts that you have made and they are all indispicable! This forum is for "Addiction and Recovery", so what is your reason behind posting these very crude posts? And, probably 50% of the people that are on this board have or are in the same situation you are right now. If you weren't addicted to your meds, then I don't think you would be worrying so much about others! Your qoute " Stop your worthless exsistence and what kind of parent are you" was un called for. I have said enough, but keep in mind Alan, that we aren't the ones getting your meds taken from you, YOU ARE!! And,PLEASE DON"T POST if you don't have anything better to say. We are all individuals, and none of us are perfect!![:0]

I have been reading some of the board and I didn't know where else to go. I have a friend who is addicted to percs and is also taking anti depressants. I guess it all started with his pancreas and so his doc started to prescribe them. Then he started buying them from a guy from his school and it has gone downhill from there. His family is on the brink of giving up on him which I don't understand. His mom was an alcoholic and the only reason why she stopped drinking was because of her liver. I don't know what to do. I am NOT turning my back on him or giving up on him. He is an amazing person and I know he can accomplish so much its just that this addiction is tearing him apart. I don't know what to do. I guess I'm reaching out for help. As some of you have mentioned I have been reading a little bit about the Suboxone. I guess from people who are going through it...

Thank you so much. I did check out the site and sent an email. Hopefully they can help. If anyone else knows of where else I can go it would be wonderful. This helps having this forum to kind of ask for help. I haven't directly dealt with anything like this before and I'm kind of just winging it for the most part.

FreindnNeed, Do you know how many pills your friend is on a day? The more pills he takes a day the harder it will be to wean himself down, without a dr. help. Though people have done it on thier own. His family is something you can't change. You can just let him know that no matter if his family turns thier back on him, you won't. He needs to know that. I too come from an alcholic mother and father that didn't give a * about me. I think alot of people from broken homes turn to some form of addiction. I truley belive people turn to drugs to escape something. That something just happens to be different for everyone. Good luck to you and your friend. It is a battle I haven't won yet. [:X]

Ok, today I am for sure going to start getting serious about quiting. I don't want to be all strung out during Christmas. Yesterday I only took two loratabs. So today 1 and half. It is hard as hell to let go of two a day. Even if I do hurt I don't want to be on Tabs anymore. I know I can do this. I have been trying to sleep alot cause that is the only time I don't think about pills. I almost have to force myself to eat anymore. It sucks so fu*ing bad. I'm shakey and hot as hell. I have 8 pills left. Whatever is left after I wean down I'm going to give them to my husband to hold. Only to give me one if I'm really hurting. Do ya'll think thats smart or should I plan on never taking one again period. There was a time I could take them as needed, so could I ever be like that again?? [:X]
