Hey addiction. nlm nlm nlm

4 days clean. I think I've got this thing beat. I realize I'm going to have to be careful from here on out, but lord I feel good right now. Withdrawal effects have subsided substantially. No more cravings. Plus I disposed of the pills I had left. I feel great knowing I had the power to overcome this.
It's my Birthday, mail the extras to me.

3-4 days huh? I'm surprised you had any withdraw effects at all. Thanks for the well wishes. Today is day 5 of being clean. I've got it whipped at this point.

Awesome, man. But don't take it for granted that you've beaten it. Addictions never really go away. All it takes is one day from hell and.... But still proud of ya' for coming this far.

So a little back story. Basically I have been addicted to hydrocodone since I had my wisdom teeth out last June. At my peek I had been taking upwards of 50mg per day. I have recently been cutting down (10-20mg per day) - and now I have decided enough is enough.

Day 1 - Complete. It's been over 24 hours since my last 5mg dose. Today was not fun. I tried to watch the Royals game, but that didn't put me in a very good mood. :rolleyes: I mowed grass, spent some time with my girlfriend, tried everything in the book to keep it off my mind. I'm tired, lethargic, dizzy, but I'm not giving in. I'm going to make it through this. Any thoughts, prayers, and good wishes are welcome. I've tried this once before and fell flat on my face day 3. I'm determined to not let it happen again.
good for you. i've got a... similar issue that has been ongoing for over a year now. i wish i cold find a way to quit. i'm in a little deeper than you however. :(

I know a couple people that have been real addicts with pain killers.........like 2-3 80mg OC's that they'd take to the face a day. They would love to have as low a tolerance as you do. Ha you think you have problems? One of them went through 3 years of probation, rehab, house arrest, etc. Luckily for him he finally got clean and free of the legal problems without having anything on his record and never served a day in jail........amazingly.

You should pm your number to your friends here and they can send you a text everyday reminding you how much better your life is gonna be when you kick this shit for good.

I took hydracodone for a dentist milking a toothache for money over a month during the Holidays last fall. I was never addicted at all but did notice I was more emotional and sensitive to things. Also made my sexdrive go up which was a bad thing sense I had a very high sex drive anyway and my woman in no way could keep up which left me more frustrated, angry, and emotional over things.

Once I fired the dentist and got my root canal done I went back over things and was able to see clearly what was going on.

Right. But you don't wake up one day and go take 240mg of Oxycontin and LIVE. If a normal sized human being decided to take such a large dose, in particular if they broke up the pills I would imagine they would be dead. It's a process... you build up tolerance so you have to take more and more pills and stronger and stronger pills.

Did I have problems? Yes. But now that I am over a week clean I can look back, realize what I was doing was stupid, and look forward to a future of being clean.

So what's up? Feel free to send me a PM or discuss it publicly if you choose. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Helping others with addictions will help you out more than you would expect. It's giving back and very rewarding. That's a good path to get on and make a practice of it as you deal with it you don't have to do it by yourself that way.
