Hi Steph1309;
My name is gypsyboots. i am 24 hours clean from a 10 yr. career with Norco. Hang in there. All we have is this 24 hrs. to deal with. It doesn't matter how long you took the medication. Sure, things take time. But if you don't use, no matter what, and maybe get into some self-help program, and also see your doctor, (all this I am planning on doing myself) it will get better. I quit cold turkey, and it's hard, but I'm making it through my first day sober. Ya Hoo! It takes time I'm sure. But the people on these boarRAB are such great support, we're all in this together. Keep posting and let me know how you are doing...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. My success story is this: I was completely sober for 10 yrs from alcohol and medication, and I'd been drinking and using meRAB for 20 yrs. so if I can do it, you can do it too...I don't know if you can take sub forever, for me, I don't want to. I am chained to a pill..that little yellow pill determines my happiness, my ability to function in my life...I don't want that anymore. That little pill gets me so mad cuz it lied to me. It told me I'd feel great...yea, only while I took it, and look now, not taking it and in withdrawals and any time I've not taken it I couldn't be happy without it. Well, I'm mad, and I'm not gonna take it, and I'm gonna get my life back. I am determined I am going to be happy without it. Take that you little pill...hang in there, I hope I've been of a little help:angel:

Welcome Steph,

To start off by just answering your question about if you could ever stand a chance becoming sober and to be honest...... THE ANSWER LIES WITHIN. In order to be able to stop using no matter what your drug of choice is, it will not be successful unless you are 175% committed to making it work.

You have came to the right place. We can help support you and try to help in any way we can. We are all struggling with our own addictions so maybe in some way you will be able to help us too.

Hang in there! I'm Secrets, it's nice to meet you!
