Hi everyone.
I'm Katie. 34 years old. I've been addicted to pain meds since 2009ish. Began with a doctor script for Hydrocodone...then went on to buying percocet from people. I take basically whatever i can get my hands on...no rhyme or reason to my addiction. Usually the following is what is available to me...Percocet (only 10mg, won't waste money on anything less than that), Roxicodone 15-30mg, Methadone 10mg and Oxycotin 60mg.
I live in a small town in Indiana. There are few options as far as getting clean around here. Rehabs are too expensive, and i make way too much money to qualify for state assistance. I've tried multiple times to quit on my own... longest i lasted was 2 weeks, and the ONLY reason i made it that far was because i was eating Imodium like it was freaking candy. (I went 3 days without sleep, thanks to RLS, and read about Imodium online, so i gave it a shot... popped 20 of those little suckers and within a couple hours, almost all of my symptoms were gone. So, anytime i know i will be without and have to withdrawal, i buy imodium (generic, of course, not going to pay $20 for 12 tablets!) And take a nice little handful. And i can always sleep and go to work, no problem. I have never ever received a buzz from taking Imodium...i know its been reported that addicts take imodium to get high. I dont know about that. I just know if it wasnt for imodium i would go through hell a lot more often than i do. Anyway, like i was saying, the closest Methadone clinic is about 30 minutes away, and they are only open 530am to 930am...and i work those hours. Addicts around here aren't left with many options. I would love to quit.
I literally fantasize about a sober life. I try to remember what i was like before being an addict... i can't.
