EMERGENCY

Help....so my Ex has NO idea about my little addiction problem. His new wife also has knee problems. The last time I talked to them (we all get along great) I told them I wasn't taking pain pills anymore cuz I was just dealing with the pain. Enough said there....well, she just stopped by work and handed me a big bottle of vicodin....she said she can't take them for her pain because they make her sick and she knows I've been hurting and dealing with the pain and she knows going to the doc. to get scripts is expensive (bless her heart) so she wants me to have the pills. It was really sweet of her to think of me....I really appreciate the kindness. Unfortunately I am a huge F**king pill addict and I can't take even one.
I set them in across the room on another desk. I'm afraid to even go near them.....

help...whimper

I can IM my address and Western Union or PayPal whatever bucks you need???

[hopsing94]

greebs you got to flush them. Get rid of them,that temptation will drive you nuts. Please

[oneeagle]

First post was in jest.....you already know what to do - I have seen you advise others. DX the pills immediately...I know what a shame what a waste. But you are worth a lot more than they are. Stay strong. Not even just one

[avisg]

FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH

[road2recovery]

Oh my...This has to be hard for you...Flush them now, don't keep them in the house..
WAY to much temptation...
let us know how this goes...but you know what u have to do , you are very strong

[hopsing94]

You should also call her back and say wtf. I'm clean and I dont appreciate what you did. That kind of pisses me off she would do that,especially if she knows you have quit. Just not cool. You have worked so hard and for her to do that is not cool. Greebs I don't mean any harm but I'm thinking of you and how hard you worked and how good you have done.

[Avalancheblanche]

Hops, I think they dont know about her problem.  I agree with avisg.  FLUSH, FLUSH, FLUSH.    avisg is so grounded and she cares.  You can do it....It will hurt! but, you can do it.

[hopsing94]

Well if they dont know retract what I said. You got to flush em hun. You have come to far.

[IBKleen]

I am heart broken reading this. I was on my way to an event tonight and actually hit an already dead deer in the road. I had to come back home. And then I find this?

I'm speechless. I take this **** very serious,,,,and lady? I TAKE the people I care about very serious..please.....

I am 3,000 miles away and cannot actually strangle you right now.....and I hate to fly. But I would if I had to.

Please come back on and talk. I am talking to myself.......

[1234betterlife]

where did you go? you know we are all waiting on two different posts for you to talk to us. where are you? you can do this. i do it every day. i hold huge bottles everyday. IT IS HARD. but i know where it goes. please answer us...

[Greatgreebo]

sorry.....walked out of the building...did quite a few laps in the parking lot...came back in....FLUSHED the pills

damn...that was so hard to do

[1234betterlife]

OMG!!!! YOU LITTLE S***. your scared the bejesus out of us. do you know how proud i am of you. good, very good job. you should feel very powerful right now.

[wait2long]

proud of you honey..very proud...give yourself a huge hug from me...xo

[road2recovery]

CONGRATS!!!  you did the right thing...i know this had to be hard, probably one of the hardest things you have ever done..BUT one of the best things you have ever done also....We will always have some kind of opiate in reach...Right now in my cabinet i have cough syrup with hyros in it...It is hard , but i know someone that is sick needs it, so i can't change that...One day (4 kids) hubby  may need sugery, i will have to have them and deal with it...I have not had to deal with a whole bottle given to me yet...Thank goodness..i would have to jump on this board and do exactly what you did, that is so normal...
anyways so proud of you

[Jade59]

Man, this was INTENSE.  Greebs--very very proud of you, I KNEW you would make the right choice.  You made me cry!!

[Greatgreebo]

thanks for the support. Man...that was the HARDEST thing I've had to do in a long time. I actually started making excuses in my head the second I saw the bottle and realized it was all going to be mine. What the F**K is wrong with me?!?  Here I am doling out advice like some wise old sage and I can't even be in the room with a bottle of hydros without losing my sh*t.
I guess I didn't do so bad though....I didn't take any......God I wanted to though...

I feel like throwing up

[Greatgreebo]

I just gotta say...I LOVE you guys. We may bicker like siblings on this forum but when push comes to shove-we are all in this together and we will fight to the bitter end to save each and every last one of us from addiction!!
Thank you so much for the support.
Whew...that was a close one.
You guys wouldn't like me on drugs. I'm not very nice and VERY self centered!!

[gizzy32]

im so proud of you, i know how hard that is, your mind must have been racing. i flushed last week and i really did throw up. you were put to the ultimate test and came out on top. good job

[GoingToMakeIt]

Sorry i came in late. We live close enough I could've....Nah Happy Fish
I won't even send the FDA after you.

Good for you girl! I knew that you had backbone!

[Greatgreebo]

ROTF LMAO!!!

[shelly405]

You will be fine and if I can have Vicodin in the house and not take it then you can flush and not let it get to you. You have all those cleen days and you are tough. When I was in AA they had this thing called a mental sobriety day. If something got to them that wasn't alchohol related but made them act nuts - mental slip - they would start their anniversary day over. PLEASE BE COOL> MOVE AWAY FROM THE WINDOW AND PUT DOWN THE KNIFE.

[GoingToMakeIt]

[lucy342]

[GoingToMakeIt]

[dancinkat69]

wow. good job!

[lonote]

Never, Never, trust the ex's new woman. No matter how great "we all get along". I'm not parinoid or anything, but it was a plant, a set up to bring you down. You absolutly rock for the strength you displayed and the dignity you 86'ed the pills. Class act! keep on  truckin, you going the right way this time. I don't even know you and am sooo proud of you. (And nobody's after me either)  lol  You showed that biotch up.   Cathy

[Greatgreebo]

LMAO!!!

it's like r2r said...she's probably trying to poison me :-)

thanks for the support...it's much appreciated!!

[lonote]

My pleasure! Have to throw a little humor in the mix. Its just my style. It gets me thru a bad day. Somehow theres got to be a way to turn a day around. Its a good time out here sometimes that can be good medicine itself. maybe someone out there, hasn't yet posted and is hurting for whatever reason, if I got a smile,tickled their funnybone or encouraged them to join in, then that does my heart good.It helps build up my esteem, which I medicated for many, many, years, and well used to think really **** of myself,
but slowly I am convincing myself that I'm okay,.positive strokes. We all need it.Enuf babbling.    Cathy

[duckandcover]

I just read this thread for the 1st time top to bottom one at a time and It was the most nerve racking thing I been through in a long time.  I don't think I breathed once through the whole reading.   I got goosebumps when you posted that you flushed them.  AWSOME!   It was like the hero saving the day or something. I don't know any of you but I marvel at you courage.

[lonote]

I can imagine reading all the posts and its exciting climax, oops I mean conclusion would have one on the edge of their chair.Like,fatal attraction or hand that rocks the cradle. Great you  are a star!!!  The  star of the day.!!! I do admire those b.a l l's.  lol!

[Savas]

Congrat's on flushing them. You've made a bunch of alligators very happy! Perhaps they'll show up on this board looking for help eventually...? :)

[toxictome]

Fatal Attraction....that's what those pills are...
Round of applause for dumping them!!!  YEA!!!!!

CUNNING, BAFFLING, POWERFUL....never FORGET that!

Good job...celebrate your STRENGTH!!!!   hugs!

[mtrying]

[troubleinohio]
