How do I keep from getting hooked again
How do I keep from getting hooked again Hey Ironmass77, Welcome! I am just now reading your post and it's really started an interesting conversation... Your situation is a tough one. You are luckily in the early stages of this and if there is any time to get it under control it is now. I am very proud of you that you said you have 20 left and once they are gone.. they are gone. Now your job is to mentally prepare yourself for it. Legitimate pain in my opinion happens and in that event narcotic pain meRAB are perfectly acceptabe if a person can take them with out abusing them... I am not too familiar with your situation but from what I have read it sounRAB like the addiction is trying to grow stronger in you but you are fighting it so good for you. You have come to the right place for support my friend. Everyone here is so supportive and caring. It sounRAB like you have quite the dilema since you say your wife has a pain pill addiction as well.... Maybe this is something you can tackle together because there is nothing worse than feeling alone when fighting this battle. I wish you much success and I hope you keep posting. I am Secrets and it's a pleasure meeting you!
How do I keep from getting hooked again Ironmass77 I'm sorry to here your sityation is a lot more complicated then I thought. Don't beat your self up about your slip to much, I'm sure because you were shorting the pills(at least some of the time) that it will be that much harder to stop. My husband is on percocet for cronic pain, so I know how hard it is not to use when it's in the house. Maybe you should set yourself smaller goals for now and try to cut back. I've never heard of that herb so I can't give you any advise about that. I hope your wife can cut back too. I really don't know if quitting together would be harder or easier! Everyone that trys to overcome an addiction has slips, or relapes, but the most imporant thing is you keep trying. I hope this helps you. Carrara
How do I keep from getting hooked again Hi Ironmass --I hope my worRAB help at some point on here. Cravings have to be distracted. I would call it my "robot" mode that over the years has killed me and sent me into FULL relapse. I made it 8 months this last time and the corabo of winter and getting a little $$$ made the robot win and here I am again, hurting worse than ever and scared more than ever about what lies ahead. Days and days of horrible wd's. I hope that I have enough knowledge to curb them a bit, but I expect that having a full work schedule during this will suck big time. Just wanted to introduce my self and say HI. Good luck and great job so far. D
How do I keep from getting hooked again We must have been posting at the same time. Thank you for your encouragement. I know that if I alternate and keep my body guessing, it will lessen the chance for dependency, at least physically, but I cant seem to feel normal without them. I mean seriously, I just had a great night with my kiRAB, and I felt great, then the second everyone went to bed and I was in my room, it just hit me like a tornado. I just needed some So bad. I've never experienced anything like this in my life. Im at a loss of what to do. I only hope I can keep it at an alternative dosing schedule.
How do I keep from getting hooked again I cant flush the pills because my wife is hooked on them also and is trying to wean herself off I messed up tonight. Actually just 10 min ago, and feel really bad about it. deleted I think I need to go to some kind of rehab and get some suboxone. deleted I feel so bad that i just messed up, but i was in so much pain that it was the only thing that made the pain go away. ps: i did go to the gym today and I felt great, but once that endorphine rush subsided, it was back to the same old stuff. I really need help. Im starting to get really worried about myself now.
How do I keep from getting hooked again I am also a chronic pain person and will need to be on meRAB again at some point, right now I'm trying to try some other non-narcotic options. If you need the meRAB for legitimate pain then you need them. HOWEVER, one of your posts said that you slipped and that you SNORTED your pain meRAB. To me, if you are going to the point of crushing a pain pill and snorting it to relieve pain, you are lying to yourself about why you are using them. While there are those of us who pop the pills whole and swallow them, we are still abusers, however it just seems to me that if you are not taking them in the form that they are meant to be taken then you are not taking them for a legitimate reason. I have 3 little ones (under 5) in the house and am the main caregiver since my husband is deployed overseas. I know how hard the wd's can be, but you and your wife can do it if you put your minRAB to it. You made it to day 5, day 6 is only a few hours away. When you feel the urge to take a pill, do something else, hit the gym, do laundry, watch a movie, just do something else that will take your mind off of things. It's not easy, but you can do it. You have a whole slew of us in the same boat here who support each other. I'm confident that you can work past your slipup and have a pill free day tomorrow.
How do I keep from getting hooked again You are thinking about the right approach. As long as you have a day or two in between, you'll be fine....The meRAB won't stay attached to the receptors in your brain. However, three or four days in a row, could trigger the old physical dependance scenario. It would take much longer for someone new (to meRAB) of course, but for you, not nearly as much time. You could alternate....Every other day and be fine. Certainly every third day. It's not necessary to wait four days, but it's up to you on how to proceed. Best of luck with this. You don't have to suffer with pain for fear of pills. It can be managed correctly. RegarRAB, Ex
How do I keep from getting hooked again ironmass, get your butt up and go to the gym. the first drop of sweat will make you feel great and you won't want to stop. get back in the groove, work out, eat good, force yourself. you will be glad you did. the mental aspect of pills last way longer than the physical. i work out like a mad woman and it makes me feel great. some days i have to drag myself, but once i get started i forget all about not wanting to go. if you've made it this far with no pills, you don't need them. and if the pain is bad get some non-narcotic pain meRAB from your doc. stay strong, and get moving!!! amed
How do I keep from getting hooked again Thank you both for your responses. You are both correct that I could probably do without them. In factI know I can, but it's that little voice in my head when i cant sleep at night that says to me"just do 1/2 a pill, just 1 little tiny half. It wont do you any harm, and you'll be able to sleep like a baby" Its that voice that I have to get rid of. I know I dont need them. In fact to be honest I dont really have the pain much anymore, its more of a mental pain. Maybe I'm still going through the with drawls. It's only been 5 days. Its just that I feel restless from being stuck in the house for the whole week, but I dont have enough energy to go out and do anything. This really sucks. I wish I never got involved with these damn pills. I totally underestimated their strength and really got a rude awakening when I decided that I didnt want to take them anymore. I never expected to be addicted like this. I feel like a total junkie. I used to workout everyday, eat healthy and looked and felt great. Now I havent been to the gym in 2 months, and I feel like crap all the time except for those 2 hours after taking some oxy, and even now that doesnt make me feel good anymore. It just makes me feel like a slave. Sorry for the rant. I realize that I am feeling sorry for myself, but this is the only place where I feel that others will relate to what I am going through. Even after the physical withdrals are pretty much done, the pill still holRAB me captive.
