OK, sorry for any confusion- to clarify- I've binged/been hooked on Oxycontin/Percocets for years. Not proud of that, but it is what it is. Was clean for nine months through NA, last November I was walking my dogs, who saw a cat, who subsequently dragged me down and I face planted on the concrete. I felt sorry for myself at the ER and when the doc prescribed a bottle of Lortab it was on- I didn't call my sponser, certainly didn't take the tabs as recommended, and for the past year its a series of binges and attempts to get clean. Let that be a cautionary tale for any addict taking pain meds. Since I've been through hellish opiate withdrawel several times, I ended up getting hooked on Somas instead. Not at all afraid of any pain considering what I've been through, just very scared about the seizure and subsequent death potential. I'm starting subs since opiates were by far my number one, in fact if I could stop taking the soma cold turkey perfectly safely I would.
