I have a problem and I need help..don't know where to turn..vic's are my problem

Not sure what to say here...simplifying my story is for one reason or another the past 4-5 years things have happened that have givin me reason to get scripts filled for vicodin, tylenol 3's, etc...I got hooked and went to the extent of finding them even without a script....now I can't get anymore , my body wants them, my MIND says I need them....in my heart I don't want to need them or want them anymore.....I have no choice now but to withdraw, I don't want to fiend for them anymore....I never took them to get a quick high or anything for fun, I actually only did it to clean my house with a clear head, write out bills, etc. organize stuff and get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling good about getting things accomplished. I use to be able to do these things without pain pills....I want to be that person again. I can't tell anyone I know about my problem...I want to over come it myself...my patients are running out, it's been 2 days now and i'm edgy as hell, depressed yet I have a little girl of mine to take care of and all I can think about is where/when am i gonna get more pills....i'm scared, afraid, alone, sad, angry all at the same time...and mostly lost i guess...I have no one to talk to about it cause no one knows . and I feel like a COMPLETE LOSER OF A MOM to my babygirl...she deserves better , why , how could i of let this happen...

Re: I have a problem and I need help..don't know where to turn..vic's are my problem

Hang in there honey! It is a rough ride but you are almost out of it! 2 days is rough days to get by, stick it out for 2 more days "please" It will get worse and I mean worse on the mentality and the raising the child! You are doing great don't go get any more pills, just stay away from the dealer and enjoy your daughter! If you suffer for a week and miss out on her life for 1 week it is well worth it in the end! You will feel so much better as many on here can tell you!
Have a great night and keep your head up, take drive around the block (blame it on the child wanting to go for a ride an U want t o go)
that has helped me 1) kill time 2) keep my mind off the pills.
It is slow on holidays and weekends (which I know is not really a weekend, but to most it is)
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT AND I WILL TRY and see how you are doing, if you post
anytime soon I will be up.

Re: I have a problem and I need help..don't know where to turn..vic's are my problem

I am embarrassed to say I couldn't do it...I just woke up and started crying , looking around my house how much of a disaster it is, how I haven't kept up with anything..how there is sooooooo much to do in so little time...Ok, excuses I guess but this morning I took a some tramadol I had leftover from when I went to the doc for my ankle pain....there are only 3 left but ugughghghgh...now I am mad at myself....honestly I don't even know why i bother, tramadol doesn't do anything for me really so then i took a valium....i feel like i've now hit rock bottom...i am completely ashamed of myself. i want to get rid of the valium and the 3 tramadols i have left but i just don't have the strength to dump them. why?? does anyone know?? what the he** is wrong with me?? am i that terrible of a mother?? I swear to all of you out there i love my daughter with all my heart and id give my life for her but why do i feel like i need these damn pills to get thru the days....
honestly i never ever took them till she went to sleep at night and then i'd clean house, organize stuff, do bills and then sleep. that was all....but it has been getting worse lately to where i started taking 2 in the morning to get thru a bad day....
i don't have a soul to talk to except here now that i've found this message board, i hope this is ok to keep talking here....part of me honestly feels like i have some sort of really bad problem and like i'm going to die or kill my liver if i don't quit right?? vike's are really bad if u take them daily right?? ok, stupid questions...i know the real answer is I should not need any pills at all to get thru the day. I should be able to do it alone. But that's the problem, i just feel like i can't ...but i need to, i have to...oh, man...ok...i'm lost here....i never thought' id say this but i hope i don't get a phone call from the friend of mine who use to give me the vikes...i've wanted him to call really badly but now part of me doesn't want him to call and i want to get this over with and get past it....
i know i use to be ok...i use to enjoy cleaning, doing housework, organizing , paying bills, etc. without any pills at all...i honestly really really did.......but then one day my xhusband got a bottle of vikes he gave me cause i get this really bad pain in my ankles frequently at night so i tried them and ever since then i was done for....any reason i had to whenever i had a minor surgery or any medical problem i requested pain pills or found pain pills my own way.
Shame on me. i'm beginning to think i need to go back on paxil maybe but i don't want to , i don't want to take any pills at all...nothing, nada....
part of me wants to tell my aunt, hey i have a problem..but i've always always always been such an independent person that it is completely embarrassing to be "DEPENDENT" on something or someone.
sorry , i'm babbling....i'll stop now...thank u for you reply it helps to know someone cares and it is giving me a tiny bit more strength to kick the habit...i swear, embarrassing as it is i have to admit i wish I had the strength to walk into like a meeting or something and admit i have a problem and get a sponsor that i can call when i feel like i need pills.....is that weird? I mean i'm not an alcoholic or nothing , believe me i've thought of hitting the bottle , especially when i'm out of vikes but i refuse to do that because i don't like the feeling alcohol gives me and i refuse to get drunk being a single mom...i don't have any babysitters available so i can't even go to a meeting anyway.
well i will check in later, the pills will wear off and i don't want to take anymore...i've got today, tomorrow and sunday to try and be PILL free....then back to work on monday i go for the week.....

Re: I have a problem and I need help..don't know where to turn..vic's are my problem

You and I are in the same boat. I just started to post on this board the other day and it is helping. I take the vic's for the same reason, I am productive and I am really organized. I have adhd and take ritilan for this, but the vic's seem to be alot better and it puts my mind at ease. Just know that you are not alone. Hang in there and be strong not to answer any calls from anyone who has them.

Re: I have a problem and I need help..don't know where to turn..vic's are my problem

I am trying...the sun actually came out today which make these gloomy rainy days here a little less depressing....I want to conquer my problem I just don't know how to get started...it's like deep down inside I can feel the old person inside of me trying to get out who use to be able to be pill-free but I don't know how to get her out....I look around my house, see everything so messy, look into my daughter's big brown eyes and feel so ashamed , think of all my bills piling up because I can't get my head on straight to organize anything at all....
It sure does help having someone here to talk to finally...I've been holding this all in for so long..
