New Beginning Mood

Friday, May 9, 2008

I am a brand new recovering addict... the last time I took a vicoden was last Friday. I am one week clean!!! I went to a suboxone doctor yesterday and have been started on that and already I am feeling 100% better. I have been an addict, addicted to pain pills for about the past 4+ years, it started by me taking them here and there cause I liked the energy that they gave me, I started on Lorecet and Vicoden, and then of course I graduated all the way up to oxycontin. When I realized way into using that I could not go without the drugs to get through a day, I knew I had a problem, I tried like hell to stop on my own, but was never successfull. I have seeked treatment now, I have joined a couple of online support groups and I am attending NA meetings in my area. I am 35, married and have 2 beautiful boys... I realized that I was on a path of self descrution and that if I did not stop I would loose my family!!! I am going to need alot of support, so I hope I can find some new friends on here. I wish all of you the best that are going through this, and hopefully together we can beat this thing!!!

Hug shayl...

I am a recovering addict from meth, but my boyfriend is a recovering addict from oxycontin also. He went throught he methadone clinic and has managed to stay somewhat sober. He slipped and started taking lortabs, but he is sober again thank god. You can do this, he tells me all the time that the first few weeks, to months are the hardest. Withdrawels are your demons way to get you back on then pills, but just stay strong and fight through them and you will come out sober!! I wish you the best of luck!! I am usually around if you ever need to talk! Tara
