2 weeks without

[searchingforhelpinohio]

Well guys it's been 2 weeks today, and all I can say is thank you all for helping me hold myself together, I've still got a long way to go but one day at a time is all I can do, A few updates for you all. I sat down with my hubby Thursday Night and I explained to him that I really want to make a change and that I really want to stand by this and follow it out this time. I'm over the sickness now and I really don't ever want to have that feeling again... As you all know I have been extremely stressed out on the fact that he was getting his new script on Friday so before he went to fill it I just begged him to no matter what don't offer them to me I told him even if I got mad or pissed off  he said he was proud of me for finally wanting things different, he apologized for aiding me in this addiction, he said he knew I was addicted he wasn't clueless to it but he just hated seeing me sick, and that he knew it was wrong to keep giving them to me he just can't see me in pain. After making this decision he agreed that this does need to stop and that he will be with me 100 % whatever I need minus a pill haha so I asked him to please not announce the fact of when he gets his medicine and that I know that he has to take but if he could take it before I get up or when I am not around, I don't want to see it,or hear that box click, or the keys rattle because those are major triggers for me, I also explained to him while I am not 100 % over this by any means to please be patience with me and If I get upset or angry to please don't help me go backwards.
I want to thank you all for giving me strength and drive to remain off these. Talking to him and basically cutting myself off of any means to get more pills was HUGE for me, I have NEVER asked him to stop giving them to me, and he said know that I have said that this is what I want he  feels obligated to not cave into me. And so while I know that Friday has came and went I haven't caved in yet !! And I am really really glad that I took you all's advice and talked to him ahead of  time before he even went to get them because usually as soon as he gets them filled even if it's been a week or so that I went without any pills as soon as he walks in the door with them I had my hand out ready for them. So yeah I just wanted to share that with everyone because this is a HUGE step for me !!  Please keep praying for me !

Hey, a big Congratulations on 2 weeks !!!
Your very strong-minded and extremely determined to beat this !!!
It is quite hard when another person is prescribed meds in the house and you find out just how strong you are when you can say no.
My partner is still on subs and brings his takeaways home twice a week and just sticks them in the top of the cupboard, everytime i open the door, i see the boxes and i know there there, but it never triggers me thankfully.
I think im just finally content without drugs.
But it took a long time.
Your doing everything in your power to beat this and i feel the detetmination in you.
Yes, you are making a huge step forward and i can only wish you all the happiness in the world and the urge to stay clean.
We can normally tell a person who is determined to stay clean, your definantly one of those people.
Well done : )

Great Job!!!!!!! See, you DO have it in you!!! All you had to do is want it bad enough!! I am so very proud of you! Tommorow marks my 2 weeks and I am feeling good! I want to share a little story with you about how I was tested beyond means last Thursday! I will try to keep it short. So.... I woke up and wasn't having a great day Last Thursday. My Husband woke up in a terrible mood and started mouthing off about about how he was so tired of seeing me lay around and he was tired of taking care of everything including our girls. He even told me to go get my Pain Pills!! When I chose to stop it was I who made the decesion, I was never cut off my script. Now, I knew that his moodiness and past arguments were my trigger point to pop a pill. I was literally typing a post on here... Crying out for help because I was so tempted. A few hours went by with many encouraging messages then out of the blue my Dr office called to tell me my Norco script was ready to be picked up! Wait!!! What??? I already told them I wasn't taking them anymore, why did they call?? I told the nurse once again that I was off the pain meds and she said " Dr went ahead and wrote them just in case you might need them "... Long story short.. I didn't go get that script and I called them back later that day and said that I wouldn't be needing them at all! I am 4 months Post Op on Back surgery and my Pain has decreased since I Stopped the pills!!!!
Moral I my story is, I would have never in a million years thought I would have the Willpower to overcome that day.. All of it and I did! After that, it was just like a lightswitch went off, I felt good and I felt Happy!! Have ever since. You my friend, have done the exact same! You made a huge decesion that took Willpower I am sure you didn't think you had in you! Congrats Congrats Congrats!!! I am so proud very proud of you!!!!!! Please don't ever look back! Of course we will all have " those " days ahead of us but it's just that " a Day " and all we have to do is bear down strong!! Keep up the excellent work!!! This is a huge step and you should be very very proud!!!
