brand newly clean; could use support!!
Hi all! Let me just get right to it. I've been addicted to pretty much any opiate I can get my hands on for just about 4 years. It started the same way I've read many times on these forums. I was in an accident, then prescribed them. My Dr didn't cut me off tho. I chose to stop getting them cuz of the fights it would cause my husband & me to get into. (Why yes I did kick myself in the ass for that many times lol) I know they always say there's some "underlying cause" as to why people continue drugs just to get high. As for that, I don't know. I feel like I just liked the extra energy and happy feeling. Which obviously didn't last long. I'd spend all my money on them & almost lost a few jobs. So I just decided "I will not let a small yellow pill (or any color) rule MY life. I was using anywhere from 7 to 15 norco 10s any given day. I didn't taper or anything. Just quit last Thursday. And I feel AMAZING!! Its like now that I actually made the choice to stick with it, I haven't even attempted. I'm expecting it to affect me pretty hard psychologically here soon. I have nobody to talk about this to and am doing it on my own. Advice? Encouragement? Similar stories? Anything!! Talk to me!!". Thanks for your time!

I just wanted to give you a quick update. Today is day 18!! Still going strong. Feeling better every day! I can't believe I finally made it longer than a day or 2. I'm working & doing normal things that normal people do without pills. ;-).

The first week was the worst. I feel like I went thru wds so many damn times before that I began to kinda brace myself since I knew what to expect. I gotta tell ya tho, I honestly can't believe how many days have passed and how great I feel. I started an exercise routine last week & my next goal is to quit smoking....wish me luck on that one! Lol
