How did you become addicted?
  I am a nurse assistant for a nursing home wich can put alot of strain on your body. My back was hurting one day and my mother gave me one of here pills.I liked the way i felt so much i kept going back for more.I have been adicted for four years.















   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  I got so moody i couldnt function without a pill. i have three children and am a single mother.When my mom wouldnt give me any more of hers i started stealing them from her.When she caught on to me she started to hide them and i got very good at tracking them down.When it became to hard to find them i went to my own doctor complaning of lower back pain and since i had no meds on my chart she gave me percocet.

She became suspicious that i was becoming dependant so she started weening me off of them.i went through 120 pills in 5 days.then i became pregnant and couldnt stop.i took a small amount so i wouldnt withdraw completely.I lost my job because i got caught taking pills from a patient and there was no lie big enough to cover it up.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  I made the decision to stop and since i have lied so much no one knows i am addicted and i am to ashamed to admit it although they probably suspect it. I went cold turkey 10 days ago. though the phisical withdrawls are gone now i still grave them. the temptation is every where i cant turn on the tv without seeing something that triggers a craving. i know if i sawe one i would probably take it i just keep thinking "I'm doing this for my kids".
   
Your advice to others?
  Just put your mind to it and try to find something more important than the pills.
