It has now been over 180 days clean. My drug of choice has been prescription drugs (pain killers) since I was about 19 years old. I am now 31 I was on oc for most of my addiction, which means oc was my way of having fun for 12 years. I have never had anything take control of me like oc did, but I am proud to say when I stopped taking oc it was my choice and I started taking methadone, which I took for 2 years, then I switched to suboxin, which I took for 1 1/2 years before completely stopping all medications. I was on a very small dose by the time I completely quit, but it was still the worst 9 days of my life. Of course even after 30 days I was not 100%, I still had no energy and couldn't seem to get enough sleep. Getting off all pills is the best thing I could have did for myself. No one can realize what it is really doing to them until they get completely off of whatever it is they are doing. I started recovery September 22, 2010 it hasn't been easy, but it has been the best thing for me and my family.
