Prescription Drug Abuse Support Group

Upandown raised a good point. Was he an addict also? If so you need to make some big decisions in order to stay clean. You can't be near that stuff or you will abuse! It's just a matter of time.

The key is to stay away from the triggers that make you want to use.

Good luck hun.

My SO takes pain meds for good reason. He is doing better in the context of taking them more properly. But that' is where it started - I thought about sending this as a private message but decided this may help someone else. I think maybe I took them wrong so that he couldn't take them all like when he got out of jail. Therefore, psychological. I did good yesterday only one pill and I had a great nights sleep and woke up like I used too.Progress not perfection. I am pleased so far with the progress of this and hope it continures in the right direction. Why don't I hear of people being addicted to klonopins on this site?

After thought... I have klonopin for anxiety and sleep and take less than what I'm supposed to because I don't like the sleepiness that I get from them. In fact I have a months worth left and it's due to refill the script. But I also know that I am capable of abusing these as well and hope I don't follow through in that way. Hugs, Mary

I wouldn't worry about the klonopins espescially if you are taking them as prescribed.

Weaning yourself off narcotics is actually the best way to do it but most addicts can't do it that way. If I took just one, I would be craving a whole handfull!. Like lays potato chips I guess. Can't eat just one.

My biggest worry is your opiate addiction and thanks for keeping us posted, Keep pluggin hun!
