first off, why are all these pills around you? Do all your friends take pills as well? or are the pills around at your home? Also, please take a pregnancy test. Are you late for your period? if so it is VERY important to take the test and then move on from there to the pill problem so you do not harm your baby.

all i know is that u cant do it alone you need to tell someone..like a close clean friend, sibling, your parents, you need people to help you through this

You need rehab.

You dont want to harm your baby but yet you're still taking pills? You have probably already harmed him/her. How pathetic.

You need to tell your mom and get some new friends. Sober living is vital for a healthy baby. One of the counselors who visited me in the hospital told me right next door to my recovery room, there was a teenager who had just given birth to a baby who was born addicted to drugs, thanks to her mothers addiction during pregnancy. They immediately took her baby from her, then she had to go to court to fight to claim the rights to her own child. The counsellor then said her chances of winning were slim to none. It's very, very serious. You need to go cold turkey on this one immediately, for the sake of your baby.

coke78....The problem with these praticular drugs is that you cant go cold turkey because there are some serious withdrawls that can harm you! Especially xanax, If you just jump off of them you could start having seziures. You need to speak to a doctor that can help you wein off safely and that will greatly increase the chance of you staying clean since your body is probably addicted to the opiates physically. I know you probably dont have the money for a doctor but there are alot of resources that you can use that are free for this situation. what state do you live in? You know what you did the right first step and that is asking for help. Im sure you are feeling the Xanax when you wrote this witch makes you say things you normally wouldn't. If thats the case then might not be as eager to get help when you aren't on it..or at least as willing to be honest about it. Remember that wether you are feeling high or low at this moment that there is obivously a real desire in you to get help and you need it! Imagine having your life back and not going thru all the ups and downs. Imagine having real goals and accomplishing them. No matter if you are pregnant or not you need to get free from this now. It only gets worse! The longer you go the stronger the addiction gets. If you dont break free from it now then when??? I know your situation all to well! Please let me or someone help you with this. email me if you are interested in some resources in your area sabrinajobpursuit at yahoo dot com

newbaby... I realize you might not have any expeirence in this type of situation and that is probably why you gave the response that you gave. give her some credit for stepping up and asking for help. That is the hw she can stop taking the pills. To call someone pathetic when asking for help can't possibly help them, it could possibly harm them though.

thank yall soo much for the advice thats why its hard gettin off of them because you can have withdrawls so i need to slowly get off of them and to newbaby i didnt say i was pregnant i said im scared that i mite be and i was askin for help and advice not be called pathetic..but to everyone im going to go get help soon

Hmm I didn't think about withdrawls. When I first met my boyfriend he was a meth addict. I helped him recover, and he insisted on going cold-turkey, knowing the risks. He said that he didn't believe he could slowly get himself off of it, and that it was all or nothing. The withdrawls he experienced gave him insomnia, paranoia, nausea, depression, hyperventilation, and a permanent irregular heartbeat. But, he's been clean for 3 years and doesn't even drink alcohol.

Actually i have more experience in this area then anyone should ever have. I myself was born a pill baby, along with several other drugs in my system. I had to be weaned off of them over a period of several months. My sister wasnt as lucky as i was and ended up with severe brain damage. They last time i saw my sister i was 9 and she was 8. Apparently they decided it was a situation i didnt need to be around. Coke- yea i can read. I know you dont know for sure if you are pregnant. I hope to God that you are not and never are until you're over your "problem." I was speaking hypothetically.

well when i met my boyfriend he was HUGE into drugs, i myself have never done anything worse the just weed. but he took anything he could get his hands on and i helped him stop, he went cold turkey becuase he was so addicted he couldnt just do a little and it was hard, i think it was harder for me to see him like that but he made it through and even now he says that if it wasnt for me being so strick about him getting off or i was leaving him he wouldnt have done it. you need someone who can help and hold your hand and tell you its ok when you feel like you are going to die so i would start by telling someone you care about that you want to get off, also its really important to get away from ppl who do it, even though he has been clean for wow three years this month if he is around it he wants it, or sees it on tv he wants it, or does something that he used to do high he gets a craving its a thing you will have to fight your whole life to stay away from but its worth it becuase we have an amazing son and a house and he isnt b__wing all the money on drugs

Yeah I definitely think love and support is the most important thing you would need to get clean. Harold tells me all the time he'd be dead if I hadn't come around and gave him a reason to want to stop.

 

coke78 - December 24

well thank yall alot..its hard when the pills are always around and ppl always noe i will take it so they bring it up to me..but i just been takin a lil instead of alot like today i took a lil xanax instead of more as i usually do..so maybe it will slowly stop nd i tlkd to my friend bout it and shes trying to help me too so thank you guys

newbaby being a baby and addicted to drugs isnt really the same.....your not in control as some people on here no i,ve had a past with drugs i,ve only ever done 2 drugs marajwana (weed) ands ecstacy thats all i,ve ever touched i think it depends on what kind of person you are to how u handle them......ecstacy pills i never got addicted to i took them from pure stupidity for the sake of it i done it about 4-5 times and decided they were pointless and never looked backon them......................weed was a different story........weed isnt actually cla__sed as phisicalt addictive just mentally...........my bf smoked week when i met him and when he gave up he found ot fairly easy, me on the other hand found it extremaly difficult! without him i,d still be doing it, i was mentally adicted.....i only managed to stop it after moving away and with the support of my partner......after about a month that metal addiction was gone and thats when i realised im the one who puts it in my body im the one that can stop.it may seem like you cant but honestly once you ghet pasty that stage and start thinking you can its so much easier....good luck
