Mistake regarding your post

i know what you are saying.. my addict brain even had me agreeing with you for a second.. shaking my head yes i would do that... But i wouldn't at the same time.. Try and hold out.. the sub has a long half life.. you may not feel that bad..  also because of the long half life taking the other may waste it due to the naloxone blocking it.. also You will need to be in WD to go back on Sub on monday.. otherwise taking the Sub while on Oxy will put you into WD.. i highly recommend waiting it out til monday.. we will be here for you the whole time.. its only 2 days.. the half life of Sub is 72 hours.. please hold on you have been doing so well.. I fear even taking this "vacation" from recovery could set you up for negative consequences...

Luv ya

  i was just posting to you below.  I know your right and about having to be in w/d to go back on would totally suck (been there.... ya know)  It's just hard! me whining again.  What is it about "one last time...": sad, really sad.  More than likely I will take your advice.  It says somehting that I haven't yet.  I'll be posting a bunch on my damn birthday - I just hope Im not hurting.  Thanks steph, I know your right.

love, Tracy (it's time)

From my experience.. this is never a good idea.. i was a heroin junkie for a few years as a teen.. I had a friend who was on house arrest.. had gone through WD.. was going to jail in a few days and then to rehab.. he decided to use "one last time"  for old times sake.. he OD'ed and died..  the person that sold him the drugs was someone I was involved with at the time.. i had to testify.. he went to jail for a very long time...  So many lives affected from "one last time"....

hi tracy...i think fladdict gave you some great advice and i totally agree with her.

a quick story...
my son davis was in jail for a month...and clean from crack.  he had 30 days.  he was out of jail for only one day before he was to go to a long term rehab...12 months.   i left that evening for only 30 minutes and when i came home, he was gone.   seems like my husband "believed" his story about wanting a few bucks to go to burger king.   i was livid...how could my husband be so freaking stupid?   i jumped in my car and took off to where i knew my son bought his crack from and apparently i just missed him.   when he came home it was obvious to me that he had scored.   i took him in his room and we laid across his bed.   as i was rubbing his back...and crying...i asked him why...why, when he had 30 days clean would he do that...knowing that he was going across the country and away from his family...the next morning.   his answer was "because i know that i will never do it again...never...and i just had to say goodbye to my old life".

so i understand where you are coming from...BUT...you don't have to do that.   if you have read any of my posts...and i know you have...then you know that i am going to say... FLUSH THEM...why have that temptation right under your nose.  be strong...stronger than you ever have.  the best present you can give yourself and your family...on your birthday... is to be clean and sober on that special day.

huggs,
kim

AAAAWWWWW MAN, I know your right and I will try and accomplish that tonight when hubby gets home.  He is totally on that side of things and thinks I should just wait it out.  He doesn't really understand my desire.  I really don't either, just miss it sometimes.  I know that is hard to explain, but it's the truth.  It's like smoking (which I also do) and have tried to quit before.  It is like you miss the process of getting it, lighting it , etc.  It's not really the smoking directly, it's everything.  Does that make sense.  

I really value all of your opinions very much or I would not have told you so thank you very much for all that you've said.  I promise to re read it all before I make any decision.  Im not going to insult your intelligence and say ok, I'll do it right now, ccaaaattttccchhhhuuuu, all flushed.  But, I can honestly say that you all have impacted my life in such a positive way and I will think of all of you before I do anything.

Thank you again.  Im going to bed now w/ daughter #1 laying across me and it really makes me want to hit myself for even thinking that!!

goodnight,

love, Tracy
