"Wahhh, my mommy and daddy got a divorce so I'm gonna smoke meth, suck down vodka, and be a burden to anyone who comes near me for the rest of my life." Get ready to burn in hell fire, Cristy.

Show some compassion. She didn't set out to be a drug addict. Under the same circumstances, you might have started using drugs, too.

I hope you are clean of oxy and any other opiates still. I too am an oxycodone addict. I will be 2 years off it, this march. Prior to March 2008, I had very close to 4 years clean before relapsing in the very end of Dec. 2006. My relapse spanned a year and a 3 months but it was the final 5 months that were the most severe. The first 10 months of my relapse had very sporadic and low dose oxy use...probably used 6 times in that 10 month period. That doesn't sound like much but believe me, I was still very sick and very much acting like an active addict. The last 5 months were severe and I used anywhere from 250 - 320 mgs. a day along with tramadol, marijuana and occassional coke use.<br>When I first quit oxy in March of 2003, I had been using for about 7 years with the last 4 (approximately) years being daily use. I cannot remember when my physical dependency kicked in back then but I believe it was during the year 2000 at some point. Of course, I was psychologically addicted to it from the first time I used it. I was prescribed percocet for a severe burn injury and that was my first dance with the devil. I liked it from the get-go but after a 20 pill script and one refill, I didn't do any oxycodone for a couple years. I didn't have a way to buy it or any funds until 1996-ish. I was also an alcohol abuser at that time and a marijuana addict already. I dropped alcohol once I started taking Percocet on the weekends...never cared for booze all that much and once I started my drug of choice, I didn't need it anymore. Anyway, I was a snorter. I snorted percocets (tylenol and all), morphine, vicodin and eventually Oxycontin. As you can imagine, I have an angry nose to this very day and much permanent damage to my septum. <br>When I quit in March 2003, I had been using 120 - 160 mgs. of oxycodone daily. Oxycontin was only an occasional thing during my first go-round. It was the star of the show during my 5 months of severe relapse use. In Jan. 2003, I began reducing my dosage in preparation for my quit date in March. By the time my quit date came around, I was only using 20 - 40 mgs of hydrocodone (vicodin to those who don't know generic names) a day. I quit cold-turkey and after 11 days, started to feel physically better. I experienced mild physical withdrawals for about 3 months. Those sweaty palms and soles of my feet just wouldn't go away! The depression that sank in 3 months into my abstinence, was mind-blowing and persisted through my entire abstinence period. I didn't go to rehab or join a 12-step program. I did it alone and used the "Marijuana maintenance" method of recovery. Basically, I was stoned for 4 years.<br>When I quit in March 2008, I did it with the use of Suboxone, which I still take to this day. The difference between life on Suboxone and off it is night and day! The depression of abstinence is minimized and there are zero physical withdrawals and cravings. From the very beginning, I physically felt fine. I see a Psychiatrist monthly for check-ups and script refills. I have decided to start lower my Suboxone dose in January 2010. I can't say that I have a goal, at this time, of getting off the Subs completely but I want to see if I can maintain on a lower dose. Less is more with Suboxone and for many reasons I think that my current dose may be too much for me. <br>Anyway, I just wanted to write and offer you my support. I don't know if you are taking Subs or any other replacement therapy but if you are interested in any Suboxone information, I am a good person to ask. If you went cold-turkey and start feeling cravings that you think you may cave into, please go look into Suboxone first. It makes a lot of difference and increases your odds of successfully staying of oxy! I am happy to write to you anytime and read your feelings on this difficult (although very worth it) process. Just know that someone out there is thinking of you and rooting you on and if you need someone to share your story with, I am all ears! :-) It does help to talk to someone who knows. Maybe you are in a treatment center or a support group already but if you are like me and are going it alone, it's a blessing to know someone who's gone through it already.<br>Love and Light,<br>Lucy Lynn Tyra, How are you doing today?
