How did you become addicted?
  I suffered from a severe foot pain problem. I started with platar spurs, then turned to neroma in the foot and tarsal tunnel. I suffered from foot pain for 5 years before I did anything.

I started to take my husbands pain pills (Vicodin es) to see if the pain would stop. It did and I liked having no pain for once. I finally went to the foot doctor and he perscribed me vicoprofin and norco and thats all it took. I started to take it as needed then I started taking more and more and when I was ready to run out I would go to the emergency room to get more. I could not function without it.
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  I almost got in trouble for forging script refills and several returns into the emrgency room. But most of all, I became pregnant and I still couldn't stop until now. I was told I may go into an early labor and if I go in labor too soon I can lose my baby. At that point I had to make a choice. The pain pills or my baby.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  I am still in the recovery process. I am trying to stop cold turkey because I am too ashamed to go into a support group. I am reading books and trying to come up with my own techniques. I ask for Gods help everyday because it is a struggle. but I need to think of my unborn child first. something that I decided to try turned into an addiction by accident.
   
Your advice to others?
  DO NOT TRY DRUGS! It's like poison and you WILL get addicted and it is hard to get off of it. It not only affects you, but it affects your job, family and your own well being and life. Please try other methods of pain relief. The pills can be lethal.
