I was addicted to percodin for several years in the 1980's. I went into my first and only detox. Needless to say it was a miserable experience. I do not think I would have been able to deal at home by myself. The best thing to come out of it was my being directed to NA and AA meetings at the end of the detox. I did just that and have been drug and alcohol free since 1986.I was 30 years old when I began recovery. I am 57 now and I still attend meetings. I have no urge, desire, interest or need to do drugs or drink. There was a period of about 12 years where I did not attend meetings it did not cause me to relapse but my life was not the quality I had become accustomed to when I participated regularly.
