day 3 of wd from oxy habbit, so down

[96mustang]

:( Ive been addicted to oxycontin for almost 5 years now on and off I am 24 and a college student with a great family and girlfriend so my life is pretty good. My family and current girlfriend do not know about my drug use and I cant bare to tell them i feel like my whole life is just one big ball of lies, and Im so afraid that if I tell them the truth I will lose them for good. In the past my oxy use peaked at almost 320mg for those of you who know how exspensive these things are imgaine the money i was spending daily. Currently I would take about 160mg daily to feel "high" Ive attempted to quit numerous times taking periods of a week to 6 months off but always go back...today at 1pm my time i entered my 72 hour of wd I feel terrible a friend of mine gave me half of a 8mg suboxone that ive taking in small pieces every 8 hours however its down to nothing...Ive been through this before I know nothing really helps but time..I guess what Im really looking for it some support because i cant go anywhere else, i feel like the people in my life would be completely done with me if they found out the truth. I have nowhere else to turn please anything encouraging would prob help........

I hope now you have 14/15 more days. I have 32 from 1000mg/day. Keep in touch if I can help you. It is possible, even though it doesn't seem so. Take care. You can PM me with email if you want some specifics, but basically, get into treatment, a 12 step abstinence program. Work it the steps, attend meetings, sponsor etc. Its soooooo simple that people over analyze and make it complex, then dont do it.

Man you have to talk to them. I was where you are just days ago and I thought I couldn't tell anyone. Well, I told my wife and she not only didn't get angry, she's supporting me! I stand to lose a lot of things, my job, etc. but my wife, my family have my back. You NEED their support. They WANT to know. Don't underestimate the people who love you. TELL at least one of them! You can do anything with them behind you. Good luck bro!
