I've been lurking here for quite some time, just joined last night. I'm a 34 year old married female. DOC is opiates. I was a heroin addict for 15 years and also used a good amount of cocaine but have been clean from both of those for ten years. I have also been a very bad alcoholic from the age of 12, and my use of that comes and goes. I currently have quite a prescription pill abuse problem- most prevalent is hydrocodone and morphine sulfate, but also muscle relaxers, gabapentin, adderall, psychotropic and sleeping pills. I take tons of pills everyday for the past 4 years after being completely clean from all substances for six years.

Hi Deemgd,
Many of us have similar histories.
Are you looking to kick or what?
We can help with HR or sobriety. Where are you in this respect?Right now i am more concerned with harm reduction regarding the pills, and doing what i can to never slip back into IVing anything or using hard drugs again, because i know it will for sure kill me. I'm not ready to give up my pills, both because I medically need them for severe physical pain (well, most of them lol), and they help me just deal with life after coming out of a major depression a few years ago. I'm just terrified it will eventually lead back to the hard drugs.I've recently started delving into amphetamines, which have never been my thing, and the amount i take during a binge is ungodly. Also afraid that could lead to meth which is everywhere here. The amount of prescription painkillers i take is also ungodly, going through 240 7.5 mg hydrocodone and 60,60mg morphine sulfate - a month's worth- within a week and a half each month, which I'm afraid could lead back to heroin. Not to mention the damage I'm doing to my body.
Well since you're into HR rather than kicking I suggest you start a post in Other Drugs.
If you ever start thinking about kicking then you might start a thread in Sober Living
Either way no judgement.
This should get ya started
