This has gotten crazy, and I'm not sure if I've even posted here before.. but I need some type of help. I've been doing vicodins for the past week, I kept using my physical pain as an excuse up until recently, when i admitted to myself it's more for my emotional excursions than anything. I dont know what to do really..or where to go for this. If i go to rehab, no one can take care of my kids, my husband works all the time. I don't even think he knows, he's in recovery too, but so far as i can tell he just thinks im wayyy to irritable. And i am. I feel terrible. My kids must hate me, constantly telling them DON'T DO THAT, OR THIS, JUST STOP BEFORE I SNAP. And it's a whole other thing, feeling like im just going to break...
And I'm too scared to enter any type of program because I already dealt with bias counselors at one place and not only that but i just don't want anyone knowing what a scumbag i feel like. I don't know anymore. I'm not sure if I'm making since. I'm just lonely, sad, confused, lost, hurt and angry.

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
Narcotics kill 52,000 every year in the US. I was almost one of them.
I went to the substance abuse center at our local hospital and was evaluated to determine what type of care would be best for me. Then I went through 4 days of detox where I was give medication to help me through the withdrawals. Then I went through a 3 week IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) where I learned coping skills and then I went through 3 months of once a week relapse prevention, group counseling. While doing these programs,
I went to 12 step meetings of NA/AA and still go on a weekly basis as often as I can.
Good luck!
I totally understand the fear you have.. but coming from both sides, and now working in the field.. I can honeslty say I don't sit and judge people., I just listen and in most cases can relate to much of what they are going through.. , and I feel like the majority of us ( social workers) try to do the same.
there are a lot of great programs out there.. and people willing to help and listen.
Whatever the alternative -- anything has to be better than this. You have young children who need you right now.. and you are of no use to them if you continue this pattern of abuse. Godforbid you overdose.. Do you really want your kids to be around to see that? Who will care for your children will you are no longer alive..? Please seek some form of treatment, as I am sure you want to be there for all the increidble milestones in your children's lives..
It never hurts to JUST TALK... -- Sending you support .
