Hello

I was encouraged by dancinggirl to introduce myself. So, here goes nothin'....

I have been lurking since I joined in April but only first posted in September. I know that soon I will begin my journey into sobriety and wanted to gather any and all information I could. That's what led me here.

I am addicted to Hydrocodone. I was addicted to MS-Contin originally and when I decided to get clean, I went the Hydrocodone route to help me get off the MS-Contin and then the plan was to taper off Lortab. Yeah, like that worked out well.....TWO YEARS AGO. Anyhoo, I've finally begun my taper off Lortab and should be done by the end of next week. I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks for reading my "story".

Only, I'm glad you decided to come here. I got sober through SR but it took me a few months of reading and crying to get the courage together. I've found amazing strength through the people here and they've never let me down. Be proud that you've decided to do something to help yourself - many aren't capable of coming to that conclusion. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey.
