I have had 17 surgeries over the last 6 years. After every surgery they gave me percocet. I eventually started getting percocet thru pain management which is a three month supply at a time. It was like christmas every third month. I was taking up to twenty sometimes thirty pills a day. I realize now that I have a major problem and instead of taking pills I would rather be in pain. I havent taken a pills in over 4 days. I am having some withdrawl symptoms but I am a strong minded man. I asked the va for drug counseling today and they told me I could get in in about a week or two.....great help huh. Oh well I am strong minded and if I set my mind to it I will make it through this. After reading all this stories of other struggling it has helped me make my mind up tremendously. thank you all.
I'm happy to hear that you've been inspired to kick the habit! I think that the drug counseling will help you out and you know, 50% of the battle is your dedication to the plan. I wish you lots of luck and would like to hear how you're doing okay?
