So I had been clean and sober for 25 years and for the past couple of years have been using vicodin, not so much for pain but to get high to be sure. I know it's a dead end path so I'm on day 3 if quiting.....it's not to bad but thought I keep having us that I just don't like the way I feel without the drug....I mean even during my 25 years clean...life on life's terms should have some moments of feeling good....It's so rare..... But I know using will just make things worse in the long run........can anybody relate?....

Hi, gkoid, and welcome to Psych Central! Vicodon is certainly a drug that people can get addicted to, and it is a bad addiction. I suggest you get some support for staying off of it. Talk to a doc to see what treatment places are around. You can stay off away from it! It can be done!
I take such drugs, but I am careful not to take more than prescribed. I can see how the good feeling/high would be addictive. Maybe someone here with this issue will come along soon.

I hope you're hitting some type of support group like AA or NA. I have been clean/sober 20+ years but have some fantasies of opiates or weed, pretty scared of relapse so I go to meetings...I have heard that the opiates are hard to stop once you start. It's going to be hard without some kind of social support.

I have known so many people in AA with a lot of years get sucked into Vicodin. Never ends well. Starts out innocent for some legit pain reason. I understand because I love it and think it is the best anti depressant ever and I have bad depression. I will stick to therapy and my pdoc though cuz I know where opiates will lead me.
