Brian- I was concerned that the last time you posted here, you were detoxing with Methadone. Please give us an update! It's been like 4 or 5 days since you have posted.
Everyone try to have a pain-free day!

or loaded with sarcasim.
in any event i have not seen the brian post. last i read
he was on some ungodly high dosage of meadone.
it's turn the clocks back time, here in the east.
the leaves are doing there thing, turning colors.
it was nicw to read chatahan, and her comments
yesterday, very interisting, her link of lack of faith with low self esteem, is someting i will dwell upon.
as far as the steps go , i always like tyo here about them,
i have been across this country finding people who know
about the 12 steps.
the steps simplified
1 accept the truth
2 have faith in the truth
3 commit to the truth
4 examine the truth
5 share the truth
6 want the truth
7 be the truth
8 find the truth
9 recover the truth
10 be aware of the truth
11 live the truth
12 give the truth
peace!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lee.
age does not matter , oxy is a lot stronger and
when detoxing off them it is more uncomfortable
than perc's, which is no picnic to withdrawl off
of.
so in any event , the good thing about the oxy is you are not killing you body with the acetametphine(tylnol)
when ever you decide to kick get rthe receipe and just do it.
peace !!!!!!!!hope you are not in any pain today

Has ANYONE heard from CinCee??

All Oxycontin is is oxycodone. All Percoset is is Oxycodone and Tylenol. They are the EXACT SAME DRUG. With Oxycontin, you just get alot more of it.
I have read everyone of your posts.You seem like a strong person and really put forth an effort to help others.i wish you luck in your recovery.I hope you are able to get your children back with you.
I too have been really worried about Cincee.i hope she's ok.Cin,if your lurking,please let us know how you are.

I just wanted to say "Thankyou" again for that relaxation tape. I listened to it for a half-hour this moring, and I think It REALLY helped with some of my pain... You have a WONDERFULLY relaxing voice.
I'd better stop before someone asks us to take it elsewhere!
I'll call you tonight.

I'm in touch with someone who is using it to detox from heavy oxy use. She's in the second week and reports no withdrawals.
Is anyone here using this new formulation? (I understand it's available only in injectable form right now, but a sublingual form is coming soon). All information would be appreciated.
Here's your link to an info page about these newly approved drugs for detox/maintenance:

Many Thanks,

life is good here on my end.
not in any pain, no depression.
i am back to work, been haning with my wife.
the tree s are looking so nice with all the colors.
i love this time of year. so glad i am clean and
able to enjoy it.
good oto see the fourm back on it feet.
i miss goldenbears post.
also where you at skipper, i hope not shoveling snow.
jess how are you doing with your pain.
groovy how are you doing on this beautiful sunday.
i hope you computer bugs are under controll.
gwh, where are you hiding , last i heard you were
off the oxy's and had taken a few vikes.
it is always good to hear your positve comments
so where are some of those positive inputs.
ya got to give it away to keep it.
so to all i hope everybody's feeling good.
i spent many a sunday night thinking , well this was not the
week i was going to get recovery, i was always writing
off the day as a loss and was always looking to the future
for recovery, one day it dawned on me there are no tommorows,
recovery always begins today, i was alway going to quit smoking this sunday, or start lifting weights next week, or start going to church next sunday, my thinking was flawed by thinking
everything was going to happen in the future,
ive come to realize that recovery begins TODAY, QUITING SMOKING
CAN ONLY HAPPEN TODAY, GETTING IN SHAPE STARTS TODAY,
RECOVERY IS ABOUT DOING WHATS GOT TO BE DONE TODAY.
THERE ARE NO TOMMOROWS,.
this coming from and addict who lived to many wasted days living in the morrow.
it's the old wise saying SEIZE THE DAY. DON'T WASTE IT/
I HAVE WASTED TO MANY DAYS WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE.
my 2nd x wife came back to live with me when i had a year clean,
and each day i woke up by noon i just knew that this was not the day our relationship was goig\ng to get back on track, so i wrote off the day as a loss. after doing the same thing for 30
days , she left. looking back i would do things differntly
i would do something to make it work instead of waiting for
something to happen.
dead wood floats down stream.

nothiing less expectated from an addict,
we strive to be the best,
a talented lot we are.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

as far as myself, life is very good, we have been in the new house now since late july, a big beauty of a house.
my sons mid terms are all great, which is good news
he has to keep a b-plus average, to keep his scholarship.
as far as drugs go , im clean, i never drink.
i only hang out with people who are clean.
im doing great with pain, no pain at all.
i still take the receipe everyday,
i love to watch footabll, collage and pro,
i coach basketball 8th graders, that is a blast.
im like the only coach they ever had who does not yell and scream.
of course the parents love me because of that.
they all write me cards thanking me. for being so kind.
and then i tell them i used to have coaches who would yell and scream at me , and that it never did any thing but hurt.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!all the luck in the world with the new gig.
