my problem started a long time ago and then it just went away. I was taking pain pills and some how... I dont even remember... I just quit. Then I gave my daughter up for adoption in Jan and it all started again. At first... pain pills would give me such a high. I didn't hurt as much from the choices that i had made... and some how I got from day to day taking lorcets. I think I was hooked and after that... I think I haven't went very many days without lorcet. Now I want to stop... but now so sure how. Everytime I quit I have really bad withdrawls that make me want to run so hard and fast from being sober. But, it's getting harder to get them... and I do want to stop. I'm just scared to death to actually do it. i know the actual side effects of being without it is BAD!! But I wonder what is worse.. the withdraws or actually going through the motions of having to get them. I hate to steal and I HATE the lying... but it seems like that is all that i do. For those of you that has gone through this... how do i stop??? i need serious help.

It took alot of courage for you to give up your daughter and you know, I can easily understand your addiction. You need to heal from that. The only way to heal is from counseling.
Your first priority is to make an appt. with your family doctor and tell him everything you said here and he will set you up with a rehab which can give you a safe medical detox. Let us know how it goes and good luck in your recovery. You have my deepest sympathy on losing your daughter but I am sure you did what you thought was best for the baby. Hugs! God Bless and TC!

Hey Maddie-
You sound like you've made the decision to quit. That's the first step to recovery from addiction. The withdrawals suck and detoxing safely should be your first priority. I know from experience that the drug seeking, lying and stealing is exhausting. Have you ever been to an NA or AA meeting? I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my 12-Step group. Anyway- we're here to support you and we care about you!
