Stop taking pills

I would just like to be able to wake up and not want something to get me through the day. I lost custody of my five year old so I could go into detox, and stayed clean for a year and half then got a script for pain medicine and now all I want is it.

and the site that gave me the strength to do it:

THE ICARUS PROJECT.

i am 15wks pregnant and im addicted to pain pills ive beeb addicted for about a 2yrs but only recently do i want to stop because im pregnant and starting to feel that my life is going nowhere because if these pills. i want to stop but dont know how ive been through withdraws from a different addiction to meth and i successfully gave that up so i know what withdraws are like but im scared for my baby because i dont know what withdraws will do to the baby my husband doesnt know about my addiction or my doctor im scared he will leave me and my doc will have the baby taken away when its born so i want to do this at home does anyone have any advice???

is the way to be! hard. worth it… not to say i dont want a valium here and there… but ive been successfull. no pills since july 2007! :)

For a year or two now i have used pils recreationally, never been addicted or even close. Just recently (last weekend) i thought i was going to die from them. I had just picked myself up 20 darvacet for like 15 bucks. dosed up on five (have done up to 10-15 but not all at once, within a few hours)and right after the buzz came on my chest started to hurt, like my heart, everything felt tight and i got a horrible feeling in my left arm. the worst part was trying to sleep and having to worry about not waking up. well that has pretty much got me away from any kinds of pills. no more pain killers or muscle relaxers or stimulants. and im glad mainly that i didnt fucking die. i feel like once again i got off lucky with pills but dont wanna see if my luck stays. 17 is too young to worry about having a heart attack!

Yeah!
5 days without meds and I feel so well :)
Can’t believe that I done!!

my first day without meds!
wish me luck :)

I’m working on it.
I reduced the dose for 3/4 of the pill.
Tomorrow i will take only half of the initial dose.
I felt so sick these days by the morning, but today i feel better.
So I won’t give up! ;)

that you’re already gone. ironically, that’s why i started in the first place . . .

just flushed the vicodin and codeine. I wasn’t becoming extremely addicted, but it was beginning to become a crutch every now and then. I’m not going there. Ever. I just didn’t think they would be that addictive-plus the moms in my neighborhood pass them out like candy. I was prescribed them for my migraines-gave me an excuse in the evenings when I felt overstressed and overwhelmed; I think I’ll look for a new doctor.
