New here

Hey everybody! My name is Grace, and I'm an addict. My doc is Vicodin, and on November 18, I'll be 6 months clean.

I am looking for just more support and to talk to others who can relate to addiction and all of it's "pleasantries" lol

Nice to meet you!

Hi, Grace. Good for you. I am 15 days off the stuff and still struggling, but hanging in there. I am having a hard time with depression as opiates cause the brain to stop producing pleasure chemicals. What has your experience been 6 months out?

Thanks.
