i am 16 years old. opioid/narcotic addict for 3 years. not joking. things just happened quick and i got hooked. i cant get treatment cause of being 16. family is all adicted except my immediate (mom and her siblings and father) addiction runs in moms fam. they thought they broke the chain but no. my sddiction is a secret. dont live with parents. and i have injected,smoked,eaten(chewed), & swallowed whole every pain medication you can thinnk of from vics&percs to oxys roxys and phentenol patches. NONE of these things will cause finger discoleration. cig. smoking does, and the reason it is just now happening is because it takes years and years to show up. ive been a smoker since the age of ten my fingers are not yellow. but annother family member who is only 48 has been smoking 35 years and developed yellow index fingers about a year ago. smoking cigs is most likely the cause.

Amen to that TIME. I am very glad to be walking around today!!! My hubby tells me I look good and thats all that matters!! How are you doing on your sub treatment? I am seeing a couselor soon. My health insurance at work changed so had to wait but now I am ready to give it a shot. I am a little nervous though. I have this preconceived notion about how it works. I hope he has a couch for me to lay on. LOL.

i have been hooked on painkillers for almost two years, and it is unlike any other drug that i have tried. i did not plan on getting addicted, i thought i was stronger and smarter than that. however, i had no idea that i would have an addiction. during the "process" i did not realize what was happening to me. i would take hydrocodone to give me more energy, put me in a better mood, minimize emotional pain, and occasionally get a real nice high, the nodding off kind. Before i consciously realized what was happening, i was physically dependent; if i didnt take something i couldnt function at all, i would get so sick. i eventually moved up to oxycontin when hydrocodone was not strong enough, and then got on dilaudid as well. i was an addict, i could not stop. i eventually went to treatment, had a few months of sobriety, but then relapsed, and i am now currently trying to kick again, i will most likely need treatment. it is by far one of the most difficult things i have had to deal with, bc my brain, just like any other addicts', does not think properly and rationally, my thinking is skewed. i feel like im in a catch 22 with this whole thing, i know i need to get clean, im trying, but it hurts so bad at the same time, its like, why am i doing this? However, i know there is light at the end of the tunnel, other people have made it, and i wont give up. to all that suffer from this hell, i know how you feel, im there with you, and i wish you the best of luck and hope you can find it within you to fight this shit. dont give up, dont let people that dont understand bring you down, youre not a worthless junkie. take care, find life again, its worth the fight.

Have you started counseling yet??Let me know how it goes K? and good luck with that I'm sure it'll help you !!! peace !!!

<quoted text>No not yet. Insurance (new one) just kicked in June 1st. I need to quit pussyfooting around though and get there. I am proud of you too!! It seems easy on subs but its not at the same time ya know? Keep up the good work.My doc told me the same as far as patient retention goes. He said 85% of his patients are there against their will, like court ordered or parents involved. And said some relapse and he never sees them again. I am proud of us!!

Holy frecken batman. How is she? I've never heard of that. Did they think it was the subutex or the naroxone she had the reacation to? Does she take any other meds? Just currous if it could have been a reaation between two meds.
