Hi everyone, I have been lurking for a day or two and finally decided to join.

I have been on and off drugs for the better part of 25 years.

Up until about 4 months ago I was clean for about 6 years until I got a prescription from my doctor for Vicodin.

I have have spent the past 4 months on a massive downward spiral. Taking Vicodin, Percoset and Morphine just about everyday.

Last Friday November 6th was my first day completely clean again. I suffered through 3 days of severe withdrawals and today I feel about as good as I have in over four months.

I look forward to meeting some of you and sharing stories and insights.
