Before my addiction to hydrocodone I loved life, people, my family. Hydrocodone took that all away. Once I had a taste of the numbing, I was hooked, mentally and physically. If I didn't have enough I was depressed AND physically ill. I never spoke to family friends anyone unless I was high. A very lonely depressing life. Imagine that since hydrocodone is a depressant. Luckily my family gave me one more chance even though I did not think I deserved it. I took that chance at a long term rehab and it not only saved my life but GAVE me life. Addiction to hydrocodone takes no prisoners but can be defeated. I know.
