How did you become addicted?
  I had surgery for a motorcyle accident in 1998. For the first year, I was prescribed the drugs by a doctor. I have been getting them off the street for 3 years now. I've been spending over $400.00 a week on them and between my bank account and my body it is finally catching up to me.
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  I am tired of feeling like crap every morning. I am behind on my mortgage when I make more than enough to pay it. My drinking with snorting/eating oxy's was taking away quality time form my 3 kids that mean the world to me. I want to live to see them grow up.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  It is very painful. It's been only 3 days going cold turkey. Can't sleep at all. Feel like hell. This is my second time, so I know what I have to get through.
   
Your advice to others?
  Tell yourself that you are strong and you can do anything you put your mind to. Make sure you say "tomorrow will be better."
Your going to feel like a million bucks when you're done with the withdrawls. The best part is that you wake up feeling that way without drugs.

My problem last time was I didn't get help for relapsing. Which I'm going to this time for sure.

Oh, and get mad at the drug. I WANT MY LIFE BACK. Good luck to you.
