🙏 I have been on the same dose of oxycodone for six years. I’ve never abused it 20 mg a day is difficult to stick to sometimes. But I do many things to relieve pain along with that. I feel it’s time to up my dose, but thankfully my doctors don’t agree …I’m glad because I would never want to go through withdrawals. I became dependent on alcohol and was self-medicating. Quitting alcohol was easy. God bless the people who have to live at level 6 to 10 every day! I never let myself get to a 10 Because there is no relief.

I'm sorry Wendy, but it sounds like you know the benefits, risks, and trade offs of opioids.

I've been sober for 13 years now. My preferred substance was alcohol but I also abused opioids. Quitting alcohol was a lot easier than quitting opioids.

All the best to you. Joe
