I was on those for about 4 years, then I decided they were too much so I switched to percocet. Now it's been 7 years on percocet. It's sad because I don't remember what it's like to be sober anymore. I am still on them, but I realize that I have a problem. I feel like I am a zombie, half dead, half alive. I just go through the movements everyday. So much of my life has been wasted. I just feel like I want to talk to some other people with my problem. I still feel like I am in so much pain, but now I am not even sure if it's from my disease or if it is from the pills.
