| |  Just need to talk
My boyfriend for the last eight years, has been a solvent addict. I believe that he is now ready to quit using this drug. He said that he was going to do it right this time. We've had our share of fights. Recently, he was charged with something really stupid and was given a court order to stay away from me. I don't like this order and it frightens me to think that he could wind up in jail because of me and the fact that they do not think so that I can take care of myself. |

Did you start this together. Are you still doing it? I'm a opiate person. I love pain medication. I just know that I can never use it again! |

Don't take that the wrong way! I'm just saying I am 5 days clean and realizing the problem exists is the starting point. I am very sorry that the situation has gotten out of control. I can tell you what seems like a HUGE deal now could be nothing. Are you more upset that he might go away? |

| No we didn't start it together. I would like to ask for your help though. I am not addicted to it but need advice on how to get off of it. The fentanyl duragesic patch. |

I can only tell you the more honest you are the better this will be! I learned that the hard way. I relapsed 2 times before. I don't want to again and in my mind I truly believe that I can do this. Just one day at a time! |

| I feel fine mentally without it. Which is why I don't think of myself as addicted. The only reason that I started to use it, was for the pain. But now I can't stop because when I do, it hurts too much. |

Are you willing to contact your doctor? Does your family know! I am a closet user so I went cold turkey and finally called my doctor yeasterday! He gave me kilopins. What kind of pain. Do you have something wrong (broken, injury of some sort)? |

| You said it!! Withdrawal sucks!! Yes, my family knows that I'm on it. They do not know that I'm going to go off it though. They're going to freak! I have a disease called Friedreich's Ataxia which causes a lot of pain in my legs and joints.. |

WELL i AM NOT GOING TO BUTT IN TO YOUR CONVERSATION OR ANYTHING I DID WANT TO SAY JUST ONE THING, I WOULDNT NECESARILLY SAY ITS WITHDRAW ONLY BECAUSE SHE ISNT HAVING ANY WITHDRAW SYMPTOMS, MAYBE SHE IS JUST STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN AND WILL CONTINUE TO NEED TO USE THEM, IF I WERE YOU I WOULD TALK TO YOUR DR ABOUT THEM, SEE IF THERE IS A LESS STRONG PAIN MEDICINE THAT WOULD BE JUST AS EFFICIANT...
gOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU...
AND CAN I JUST TELL YOU CLUELESS....I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU FOR QUITTING, I GET A BIG GRIN ON MY FACE VERY TIME I HEAR IT, I MYSELF HAVE BEEN CLEAN FOR OVER 4 WEEKS NOW, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING DAYS, AND WHAT THEY ARE LIKE, JUST ASK ME...I CAN TELL YOU WHAT I DEALT WITH AND WHAT I AM STILL DEALING WITH...
BUT CONGRATS FOR QUITTING, MY HAT GOES OFF TO YOU

I would without a doubt seek a doctors approval before even going off. You have a medical condition. Thats why I asked because one of my girlfriend is in the same boat. I would not just stop!
Sweetchix- Thank you! I love hearing that so thats why i'm not gonna use today! Also why I have nothing better to do on Sat night because all my friends are druggies![xx(] |

| I HAVE to get off it. It is driving me insane. The withdrawal from it hurts but I am going to make up myself go through the pain. Because I am just unused to the normal pain signals, is not a good enough reason to be on it. But thanks for the input. |

Same here June, thats why I am home right now too, execpt for the kid rock concert, thats where I am supposed to be, my boyfriend and I had tickets for tonight but this girl he has been friends with for years has been going through a really rough time lately, so being the good hearted person I am I called her up knowing that kid rock is her favorite band, and like a dummy I offered her my ticket, she was so happy she started crying, she told me this is the first good thing that has happened to her in a long time, so I guess it was worth it to give her my ticket, even though I really really really wanted to go, I am so jealous that they are there right now and I am stuck home with the kids, this was supposed to be my night out but I gave it up, so I guess thats why I have nothing better to do on a saturday night either, but theres nothing wrong with that, at least I know I can trust my bf, the girl hes at the concert with right now, when he and i first got together and i was pregnant with our 1st child, he had ahd the hots for her, but we had a talk about it and he reassured me that he doesnt want to be with her like that, that they are only friends, bla bla bla, so at least I am secure about that, geez oh man, I am rambling again, I better get going...

Liz ann,
So glad we can share our Sat night together. My reason is just that I am to weak to put myself in any situation where I might even think about it. I won't go to those places or hang out with those people. I feel bad writing it that way but if they really were my friends they would help me get clean instead of putting it in my face. 5 clean days. now it would be stupid to go back and have to put myself thru this again.

Just a girl,
Just be careful. I'm telling you that you should consult your doctor first. I understand that you want to be off of it but at the same time it was prescribed to you for a reason. I admire you for not wanting to be on it any more but just be careful. I would call your doctor. They usually love to hear that someone wants less pain medication (depending on the severity of the situation). Whatever you decide come back and let us know how everything works out. With you and the boyfriend. Good luck! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
June

You are definately right my dear, that is why I have stayed away from my pill poppin friends, I know they would put it right in my face, its sad too because they know I am pregnant and that is the reason I quit, I am 14 weeks..whoooo hoooo, my tubes are getting tied after this child, it will be number 3 and I am only 22...I have my hands full, in fact I dont think I will be able to talk much longer, I need to get them in the bath and put them to bed, so unfortunately I cant spend my whole saturday night here.... |

Go take care of them. I can't even imagine i'm 27 and no kids yet! They didn't fit into my addicted plan. Now moving forward who knows. I've been with my boyfriend for 6 1/2 years. Still no ring! Oh wait thats right I spent all his money on drugs too. I know that was wrong to write but were all honest! Sometimes it takes seeing it flat out to realize how dumb you were. At least today I am not hating myself and the world! Today I am in a good mood and noone is around! I'm gonna go do some wash or dishes or something productive!
