I'm at a pretty bad spot myself right now too, I'm looking at probably going away for several months to a program for people with addictions. Don't know how I'm going to do this... leave my family... my job... don't know how I'm going to pay for it, not to mention keep my job... ughhh! Why does life have to be so hard??????????

Hi jane
is it a total neccesity for you to go to rehab?, i know it is very hard, i've been in detox twice, but i am sober 7 months now without rehab, i've never gone!! if you need support from a fellow addict, [i'm an alcoholic] please babblemail me anytime, i hope you begin to feel better, i'll say a prayer for you!!
addiction is so, so hard, good luck...john

Thanks John, I don't know how to Babblemail, or I would. My thing is Rx drugs, vicodin and the like. I think I need to go in... I've been on this road too long... I mean, I'm only 31 but I don't want to waste any more of my life!

You will attend NA meetings, may be given valium to help at high doses to begin. But lower and lower doses until you are drug free. Good luck you can do it. Fondly, Phillipa

> ~ JaneIf you've been using daily for a long time, you probably do need detox. I'm a former Vicodin abuser myself. I didn't go to rehab. I found help in AA.
I'd be glad to email or babblemail if you could use some help or support. This addiction dogged me for over 20 years and with AA and NA and the grace of God, I've been free of it for almost 11 months now. It can be done, I promise.
I'm here for you.

Thanks guys, your support means a lot. I won't be back for a while. I just signed myself up to go away to a 6 month rehab program in Rockford, IL.
I wish you all the best! My prayers are with you!
