steve,

Do you really recognize that there is a problem? Are you ready to stop? If so there are supports out there for you along with us. You are taking a serious amount of medication and it has to be doing things to your body that you may not be able to turn around if you continue. You have to want a clean life and be willing to do whatever it takes to get clean and stay clean.

It will not be an easy road, I won't lie to you. But speaking from experience, I wouldn't trade my worst day now for my best day when I was using. If you want that life, please let me know, I will help you.

Hi Steve,

Melanye is right...Would you consider going through a Detox ? It is a safe way to make sure that you can stabilize without seizures, etc and develop a game plan with your Dr...

There is hope and a good life waiting for you...Just put one foot in front of the other, one step at a time and you can do it...

Please be safe and know that doors will open if you keep on knocking..Cheryl..

Peace, Cheryl

You are going down a dangerous road, doing Norco and drinking is dangerous, it will destroy your liver and othe medical problems. Stopping is very hard but you can do it. Talk to your doctor for the best way to detox. I am here for you, sent me a PM anytime..getting involved in the different posts also helps, you will see many members with your problem and how they fought there way to be clean and are so much more happy. Hope to see you around, and I am here for you to support you

Hi Steve, everyone wonders where you are and so do I and we haven't even met properly. My daughter was hooked on pills too. Rather than resort to heroin why not try going to a methadone clinic and get off the pills. I know that easy for me to suggest but it sounds like you needed some ideas.

And I know you do the same things too,
So we're really not that different, me and you.
