Re: substance abuse group, New Beginings, for anyone who is experiencing problems due

Sorry to bump this old thread but I am currently struggling to wrangle in my addiction to prescription painkillers and quite frankly there is no one in my life that knows and I feel that going to anyone would be a detriment and provide no real positive influence. As you may be able to tell I have been a member of this board for a very long time and used to live the life of health and lifting and not deal with these demons. I want that life back. Its been about a year now of complete daily consumption of these things and they are wrecking me financially, emotionallly, and physically. Every day I say its the last day the the next thing I know there I am washing 10 down the next morning with my coffee. Any insight, advice, help would be greatly appreciated and I do know that if it is to be its up to me and I have to want to quit to be able to quit. Hopefully just venting this to someone will provide some sort of help....

More than likely that you can't "wrangle in" the addiction by yourself. The fact that you've acknowledged you have a problem is a huge step. Don't let shame or pride stop you from asking for help. It's there and you are not alone jbl60!
I promise you that learning more and talking about it will not be a detriment if you want your life back.
I hope you join the New Beginnings group. There are a lot of good people there that have been where you are and can help.
Here's just one quick link that may help.

1:
FIND a methedone clinic

2:
Sign in for "Detox"
They usually offer 1-3 month tapers.

3:
DO any of them ( preferably the 2 monther)

4:
From day 1 it will save you $$$, and also totally get rid of most of the horrid crash. ( the treatment ranges from $333 -500 total, in some places as low as 179$)

5:
about middway in the treatment when blood values start to get lower in your quest to health start working out. It will help big time for when you go to Zero.

6:
when you stop you will only feel iffy for about 2 days.

7: Refuse long term Suboxone or Methadone treatment , they might try to snare you....ONLY do the detox.

8: Never go back again once you get clean.........you wont want too anyway.

The first day tell doc you want to start on the high end.
if you have been using alot insist the ramp start high and taper down.

. Suboxone os subutex are the best opiate detox options, if you go to the right place they will have you off in a week or two and you will experience little to no discomfort.

3 years clean and sober on the 15th.
