Ok so my addiction started about 7 years ago with a foot surgery. From there my drug of choice has been Oxycodone. I have bought pills, traded with friends. Lately I’ve started drinking to where now I’m addicted to both... awesome. I feel like crap today after my daughter telling me i slept walked into her room. And maybe it really was sleep walking but I’m guessing it was drinking. I wake up every 2 hours needing a drink and last night i was so happy to have slept 8 hours straight except when i looked at my vodka bottle i realized i must have woke up and drank. I never get drunk. It’s one shot every couple hours. This isn’t an excuse or ok as i realize this is a problem. But obviously something is happening and it’s getting worse and will get worse and worse.
I want to stop both of these habits so bad but like many (an excuse but really does affect decisions) i have a family and we can’t be without my income.
I know withdrawal and detox will suck especially since i still have to work (i called in today because I’m detoxing from pills and i feel awful but i can’t keep calling in) so I’m just seeing how many did cold turkey and how you got through it?
With new laws on prescriptions i want to be able to quit while I’m ready rather than being forced to.
Hopefully this forum will help me as i don’t have anyone to really talk to because I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone.
But i can’t keep up the monthly “sick” excuse. I have to quit it all. And before my alcohol requires a hospital stay because i know how fast that can happen.
Thank you in advance...
