I could really use some support...

I am completely addicted to Vicodin. In the past is has been many other things but right now the Vicodin is the problem. It is destroying my marriage and I have no one to turn to. I wish I had some friends. So yea, I am addicted and I am pregnant. How horrible of a person am I? I have hurt my baby boy. My husband hates me for this. I would like to pray that he is going to be healthy when he is born but I am scared. I have no one to talk to. I want to stop talking the vicodin and anything else that may be hurting him. I need help. I need to find a friend.

Sorry if it seems I am rambling a lot - I have so much on my mind and am crying while I write this.

I don't want to lose my husband and I don't want to hurt my son anymore - I want to stop!!

Welcome to SR

Please speak with your doctor. Although you may feel scared, ashamed, and frightened right now please keep in mind that there is hope for things to get better. Your doctor can help you get through the withdrawals and monitor the baby closer with the additional knowledge of the vicodin issue. That is one thing you can do that would be a positive step towards helping yourself, your child, and your husband. You can get better. There are many here who have walked in your shoes. Hang in their, go see your doctor, talk with your husband tell him your plan.

Keep us posted.

Hello,

I don't mind if you send me a message; I understand needing a friend - someone to listen and support you. I'm so sorry you're in such a bind right now. Quitting is so hard, and the stress that life throws at us doesn't make it any easier. I'm working on dealing with stress in a positive way rather than smoking and using, and it sucks a lot of the time, but I feel better knowing that I am a good person who doesn't hurt myself. It can be rough ... sometimes we feel so frustrated that hurting ourselves seems like the only option ... pushing people away and being cruel, and being cruel to ourselves, too.

I hope you find the help you need ... I'm not sure what your financial situation is, but therapy helped me a lot, years ago (believe it or not - HAHA). Laughter also helps immeasurably. I haven't had a lot of that lately, but if you can find a comedian or TV show or book or person who can bring a smile to your face, then I recommend being around that as much as possible.

Good luck!

Definitely see a doctor. Opiate withdrawal without Dr's supervision can even be more dangerous than the opiate use. This is not trying to give you an excuse to keep just using, but to get you to see a doctor pronto, like today! You have to have your symtoms kept in check, and the doc will be able to do that, and increase your chances of successful recovery, for both you and the baby. I know you can do it. I initially stopped using for my kids. Even though they are much older (one is in college), I felt like all my energy was concentrated on pills, and I wanted to be present in their lives. So I quit percs and oxy with the help of suboxone. I feel healthier now. I'm in my 18th day, hang in there. Keep coming back to talk at any time. Send me a pm if you like.
KJ

We are all here for you. Reaching out for help is a big step, now you need to get your feet moving. To the Dr as has been suggested is the first step. I had to set my pride aside and ask for help with what I could not do on my own. You can do this!!!
