I know that part of recovery is admitting that you have a problem... and thank heavens I'm able to see mine in this early stage. I talked to my doctor and he's prescribing vicodin (UGHHHH... don't really wanna take that either) but is instructing me to go the full 6 hr dosing then gradually going to one every 8hrs and so on and so on, over about 7 days to wein myself off of the oxycodone. Then he says if I have problems sleeping to just take some benadryl. He says that should help. I love the internet. Thank you guys so much for helping. I was really scared. I used to work in a strip club and have seen what certain drugs can do. Matter of fact my old boss' girlfriend used to BEG me to go to the doctor to get her PERCOCET... How ironic is that?? She had BACK SURGERY due to an accident and has been hooked on them ever since. Of course I didn't get them for her, but I felt for her so bad. I know being an alcoholic what it feels like just to crave alcohol and the emotional high that I felt just with that. I feel good though, because I haven't started drinking (probably would if I was able to walk or drive, but my husband says he won't drive me anywhere or get me any alcohol because he won't be an enabler) so at least I haven't replaced my addiction. Hopefully I can pull myself outta this, but what's best is that I know I have your support. THANK YOU SO MUCH and MERRY CHRISTMAS and may GOD bles syou every second! Lyssa
