hi

Well, hi. I seem to have found myself in a battle here. I'm 38, male, been self-medicating on vicodin, Norco, xanax, Percocet, etc since I was in my late teens. Weed was always my drug of choice, for the majority of my life, I would have done ANYTHING for it. I put so many at risk for so long. Finally, I met the girl who could convince me to stop. I didn't think I could have kids. I tried, literally since I was 18. It never took. I met my current girlfriend and we went to Big Bear one weekend. I got stoned and had a major seizure, started convulsing. Scared her to death. When I came to, she wouldn't let me go to sleep. I was probably two months clean off the weed then. We'll, she certainly kept me up all night. We came down the hill that Sunday morning... all THREE of us. I finally have my daughter I always wanted. I've stayed away from the weed for a good while. I was off and on at work for a while, but finally stopped. No desire to go back to it. My percr though. I take roughly 5 per day when my script is for TWO per day. I ran out last month and literally stole one aunts stash after another aunt gave me like 80-90 of HER stash to help me out. Ugh! Feeling like a dirtbag. I've been in pain due to a painful spine condition for two decades. I finally got a Dr to give me my own script. Unfortunately my tolerance and addictive personality gobble them down too fast. I'm on day 2 of withdrawals. I feel tired and sore, the worst part being what this does to the stomach. Aspirin and ibuprofen just don't do it but I try. It just tears my insides up. Been dry heaving like crazy too. Reglan and zofran help, thank God for pregnant girlfriend's meds. Ugh. How pathetic.

Welcome 949. You will find support here.

Have you considered inpatient treatment?
Please see a doctor for your withdrawal symptoms, that sounds dangerous.

I hope you talk to your dr and come up with a plan to get off the drugs.

I'm glad you found us.

Hi socal.

Congratulations on having a daughter and we'll done for giving up weed.

There is also a Substance Abuse forum on SR as well. You might find more people in a similar situation to you self there who are better able to give practical advice

Welcome to SR, 949socal. I second the advice to come completely clean with a doctor. Things can get better.
