Im 25 years old. I started using oxycodone and oxycontin at 17 when a friend first introduced it to me. I was completely against the idea but as soon as I snorted it I was in love. The addiction took me for the worst. I went to rehab a couple years ago hoping it would put a stop to the abuse. I was feeling much better physically after about 7 days. I soon after started hanging out with a girl I met in rehab. BADDD IDEA!!! Its all about the people you surround yourself with. I think in order for to stop, you need to erase any and all contacts and friends you have that dont share your same motivation to stop getting high. You can go your 7 days clean and sober but if your still surrounding yourself with these people sooner or later your minds gonna take you for the worst and your gonna get high. I had to completely distance myself from my best friend of 15 years because when we were together it seemed the only way to have fun was to get high. Its not true though if you are around positive people who dont give off that vibe and plan daily getaways then the more likely you are to stay away from having those cravings and thoughts of throwing it all away. The mind plays tricks on you and you need to know how to protect yourself. You need to know that your going to want to get high again even though your will power is telling you to quit. The odds are against us on this guys lets face it. I soon graduated to using heroin and now I am preparing more mentally than physically to get through this. I know the withdrawals are tough. Theres no worse feeling Ive ever experienced, yet I put myself through it just to get my nod on for a few hours. Its tough for me to quit because I have a 9 to 5 job and who wants to get up and go to work when you gotta take a sh"t every 10 minutes. Whats good about having my job is it keeps my mind occupied and keeps me moving. Exercise is the key. Endorphens is a weapon. Use it! If your gonna cold turkey it laying down in bed all day trying to get the energy to get up and take a piss (you know what im talking about!) your just making it harder on yourself. I know its tough to function in withdrawall. I cant think straight and i drag all day. But your legs wont be restless if your using them!! I know i've had enough. Im tired of waking up looking in the mirror and getting depressed because of what i've beome. Addiction is a sickness. I realize that now. I've overdosed more times than I care to mention. I should be dead right now. I am at the point where I dont get the jolly's out of it anymore I am using just to keep my mind and body where im used to it being. But make no mistake God willing you get a month or two clean you willl be at that point where you will get a natural high, be feelin great just from exercising. Redemption is out there. Sobriety is out there. My future is out there. This is my pledge to take action. I used to pray to god to take the pain away. HAH! The only way to quit is for you to wake up and realize it. Once its in your mind and your willing to overcome it then do it! Ive talked to talk now I am going to walk the walk! God bless us all!
i dont know if "god" has anything to do with it but good luck!
