Hello willow,

I am also new and an addict. I can't really say what I am addicted to because it is everything. Just about ANY prescrip. narcotic I will and have taken. I also use heroin. I am still using so I am not going cold turkey with quitting but you are doing wonderful. Be PROUD of yourself because it is a major accomplishment. Withdrawal is very horrible. I have only voluntarily w/d once and it was from methadone. I just kept trimming my pills smaller and smaller until I was getting to sleep and winning small victories. I quickly failed once I had some money in my pocket though. Again, congratulations on how far you have come. If you ever need help just post here. I could not have wished for a better place on the web to find for moral support.
