How can I overcome my addiction to vicodin?
I am addicted to vicodin. There is no denying that. In the past, I took them and quit. I actually quit for over one year, and then one day, I had a bad migraine. My gf offered me a vicodin (she did not know that I used to be addicted). I couldn't help it. I got tempted. I thought that I was strong, but I learned different. I started stealing out of my girlfriend's bottle (I know, it's horrible). I feel terrible. Every other facet of my life is normal. I have a good job, I go to college, and I support my girlfriend. I'm very good to her (aside from what I did). She doesn't know that I took her vicodin. I refilled her bottle once, and now I'm planning to do it again. Now, I didn't take ALL her vicodin. I find that I'm able to abstain from it when her pills are really low because if she had pain for some reason and ALL her pills were gone, I'd feel even worse. Any suggestions on how I can do this WITHOUT inpatient rehab. I did it on my own a long time ago.
How did you stop using drugs for good?
I've been using cocaine now for the last 3-4 months. I really want to stop but I keep slipping and doing it again. I rationalize by saying it's the weekend and we're hanging out, and stuff like that.
I have a good job and a family and I don't to lose either. How did you stop for good because i'm pessimistic.
Some people said rehab, but will I lose my job? Do I really need rehab?
How can I reward my man for doing a good job baking cookies ?
I had him bake them for me and my friends (we have a girls' night every week) because I was too busy at work. He did such a good job.
How can I reward this type of behavior?
Does the Clean & Clear advantage kit get rid of blackheads?
I just bought the kit on Monday, and have been using it twice a day. I generally have clear skin already, but the small amount of acne I do get, I don't want. It's done a pretty good job and clearing that up though.
My huge problem area, is my chin. I have so many blackheads clustered in one general area on my chin, I've tried everything but they won't go away!
Does the Clean & Clear advantage (three step treatment) kit clear blackheads??
When i shave my thighs i get acne where I shaved why is that and how can i prevent or stop this?
MY GF did not like hair on my thighs because it irritated her during sex, so I shaved and I did a good job not cuts, and I believe no razor-burn it was smooth all was well until I started getting a couple what looks to be acne where I shaved. I believe they look like tiny pimples because they seem to be able to be popped. What is this? and what can I do to prevent or stop this from happening? Thanks, JJ
i think this cleanser is giving me blackheads?
ok well i recently bought (2 weeks ago) the neutrogena oil free foaming acne wash and well at first it works pretty well and i saw a difference in my acne but then,i saw a couple tiny blackheads on my skin that i never saw before. and now it doesnt really do much of a good job in getting rid of my oily skin either..it cost me 10$ and i can't return it which totally sucks. in conclusion i am seeing some reduction in y acne using it,but it does NOT control oil much and im getting some blackheads on my face and i think that this cleanser is responsible for it!well should i continue using it? or shall i buy something else? i dont got much money so that is why im hesitant in throwing it away. ty.
please help!!
Can dry skin prevent more breakouts?
I recently started experimenting with a new face wash which is doing a very good job. It cleared up all my severe acne in just a week or so and its mainly because it is a soap based cleanser so it leaves my skin fairly dry and oil free. I know that this can be harmful and unhealthy for the skin, but I gave the whole dry approach a try and its working fairly well. I even use green tea to dry out small outbreaks even more. It has been helping a lot with the severe acne and is certainly doing much more than my previous methods of moisturizer and creams. I still get some flare ups but I am wondering is this from the existing skin/acne/hormone problem I have or is the dry skin actually starting to react badly?
Is this good/bad or just so-so for my skin? Desperate to be clear of acne!!!?
Ugh, okay so i'm a freshman in highschool,and am DESPERATE for my skin to be C-L-E-A-R. I have extremely oily skin, it runs in my family. I try to keep my skin under control, and for being so oily i think i do a good job. But i was wondering, i use such a variety of different products EVERYDAY that it probably can't be very good for me, can you please tell me if my following routine is more bad for my skin than good?
I wash my ace with a combination of Proactive Cleanser (exfoliating cuz it has the little beads)..which is...2 or 2.5% benzolyl peroxide...a little pink facial scrub for more exfoliation, Oxy maximum 10% benzoyl peroxide, pat dry use noxema toner (acne blemish astringent w/ 2% salicilic acid and acne medic.) and Acne Free, acne and blackhead terminator 10 % benzoyl peroxide (spot treatment but i put it all over)
Since i have been doing all this (about 2 weeks) i have had VERY few pimple on my face, but i don't think it could POSSIBLY be good for me...what do you think?
oh, and does anyone know about what age your hormones (especially the ones which effect your skin) begin to calm down and you stop breaking out?
good acne treatment for sensitive, oily skin?
I have oily skin, but it is also very sensitive. I have been using Proactiv for awhile, but it is expensive and I think it is a little harsh on my skin (although it does a pretty good job of clearing up the acne).
What products should I try that will work well with sensitive skin by still take care of the oil and blemishes?
Thanks.
