I too am having problems withdrawing from opiates.
I'm @ a point n my life where I'm just tired of it all. I'm only 28 years old and after all the things I have been through n life, I want change. I have a great job that I will,eventually f**k up if I keep,going down this path,a wonderful wife,beautiful son. I know I have all these things, but I continue to choose my addiction over all of this good things just to get loaded. Its really sad. I'm 28 years old,probably @ the age eleven I started smoking weed and its been going on eversense, just new drugs to,do,more. So what I'm saying is that I don't know me NORMAL. This person has prettymuch never excisted. I want to just b normal BC I know if I BC a square II KNOW I will see life through different eyes. No one around me would b hurt,my wife my some my family and friends,and most of all,ME.
that's where I wanna b but tomorrow for me will b my first day of opiate we. I've been doing this for the past month,prolonging coming off the drugs BC I know what's gonna happen. Well,now I'm,tired of it and I need help.
I need support from people,good people who know what its like to,feel these feelings,to want to b able change for the better. Is their some kind of personal chat room where people like us could talk directly to people I relate to so many of these stories. and I never wanna be able to say that again. I want to,become a better man to ALL! Not just family and friends but to all I feel in me the person icould really b, but its just to get there.
I guess my question is: is their a website that people like us could meet on a daily basis to discus our issues,out of respect for each other. Sortof like NA on the web. If no one knows any I will c about creating one myself.
These stories I have read r uplifting n the sense that people do care,have problems and need help. So maybe we can get an online chat group growing for ones like us where we can talk about our problems,come up with solutions for each other. I feel we really could use something to help a person when he's on his last leg
Iteam support moral support,the support that u might have to be a penis to get the person who ur trying to help BC ur trying to help a person whohas been doling good but starting to have problems.
If anyone wants to,create an online NA program that I trulybelieve will do solo much good then email me @ _[removed]_ just send ur name and a brief descriptionn of urself and problems. And leave a return address so we can email back. Who ever all read this,please give ur honestopinion on this idea I have
Sincerely John

I have been a regular user of Nurofen Plus for 12 years at least. I'm a decent human being, I love my partner and two children and never had a reason to start. I had no pain what so ever but my mum had codeine 30/500 at home when I was a teen. I have always been thought of by my parents as an intelligent person who would only use drugs to kill pain - I used to say I had back ache and nab a few pills. Back then 3 x 30mg tabs got me very chilled. Now I have recently been taking close to 700/800mgs a day.
I have gone cold turkey before and it hurt bad but I know I can do it ... I just don't want to relapse. I lie to those who I love the most to save them from the pain of knowing I'm an addict. I'm going CT now. Been 48 hours nearly since my last tabs and I feel okay. Got headache and achy legs but I'm okay. Think its going to get a worse tomorrow before starting to edge out of the worse by Friday.
I have contemplated suicide to escape my eternal nightmare circle of getting money, finding a chemist who I have not been to in a while and hiding what I have done from my family. I am determined to do this now. I have the summer off for the first time in my adult life as I am turning my life around and starting University at 37 in October! I am a loving, caring, intelligent person who has traveled down the wrong path for so long. I want to inspire my children to achieve rather than be the loser that I am.
Stick with what you are doing, change your life like you want to and reach your goals. I am sick of letting this stupid evil addiction ruin my lovely life with my lovely family. You have to do it for yourself, yes, but have a dream and keep on focusing on getting what you want ... and do it clean. My brain usually plays tricks on me around the 14 day mark. Physical symptoms of the CT have largely gone though energy levels are low-ish. I do the typical addict relapse - just take 24 - only today, you will not do it again. You can control this addiction. Not a chance. I always relapse and cannot just have 'one last hit' ... I am going to do my absolute level best to not listen to the inner demons and listen to my children's laughter.
Lots of love and respect. Nick, English guy.

Hi. I'm 29, an addict and just found out that I'm around two months pregnant. I've been using opiates for 4 years now; in it's usual progression (from Prescription to Street to Suboxone, REPEAT). I've withdrawn so many times--not always by choice; it usually just happens when I run outta money. I want to stop so bad but just can't make it past withdrawal Day 4-5. My husband uses too, but now he's on Methodone and doesn't crave dope as much as I do. I really don't want to take Methodone or Suboxone during my pregnancy. I've read on this site that Subutex is better for my situation.
I'm new to this site, but so far I like the support I've seen people give and it's a place where (serious) people can relate with some "real life" advice, backed up with facts and experience.
I too just want my life back. I've made such a mess of myself! I now truly know what they mean at NA when they say "we've tried to do it on our own and failed . . . will power wasn't enough!" I'm making some phone calls tomorrow to get myself into a Day Treatment program--I'm already accepted; I just have to GO! I've only used twice in the past 8 days which is a step in the right direction for me. My family thinks I'm "clean" but I can tell they don't really believe me (why should they?). My husband is the only one that knows the truth and he's starting to get really fustrated with me. He doesn't think I WANT to get off, but I really do! It's just so frickin' hard when I've been living this way for so long. I need help to really change.We argue because he goes to the Methodone clinic for his daily dose and I'm trying to just kick it at home. I want what's best for our baby, the son we already have, our marriage and more than anything I want this change for me. Deep down I know who I am and honestly I can't believe the person I've become. I know I'm better than this.
Well, enough beating ourselves up! As they say at NA, "One day at a time . . . " What we've done in the past (even yesterday) is done! Today is what counts. AND, "Just for today . . . " I (Nicole) am going to make the phone calls I need to make to start my program and pick an NA meeting to go to THIS week!

Hiya, I used Lopermide - Immodium this time to get clean and I can't believe how easy it was to stop. I know Immodium is a poo medication but it stopped 70% of my symptoms. Got lots of sleep. Day 7 clean and feeling really positive. Google 'Lopermide' for W/D symptoms there are lots of threads - I was a sceptic but I took 12 x 2mgs on Wed ... 6 x 2mgs of thurs and of Fri and Sat I took 3 x 2mgs on each day. Not going to take today because I feel good.
Best of luck and like me I think you need to get counciling when you are clean to stop us relapsing.
