Could not do it!

Tried my best today but I'm fighting a hiatal hernia and it got the best of me today.  I had to take 1 tab though for legit pain...usually I'm at 4 by now.  Guess it's not too bad.  Tomorrow is another day.

Thats what I told myself, but, unfortunately my legit use turned into abuse because any pain I had or my mind created to get that pill.....even when I didn't really need it......I would justify it like that.  I am not questioning your pain, but if you need the pills then why try to quit.  Sometimes there is not an option, right   One pill leads to thousands.........if your an addict.

Luv,
Nauty........

Any way to getting clean is a good one. You did really well. Don't beat yourself up. Only 1 pill with a hernia is very good.

please don't beat yourself up...even though we are addicts doesn't mean that there will never be a legit time when pain is there and a pain med is inevitable..just be careful to make sure you aren't just "taking them"...you will know the difference right away...take care.~Lisa

It's ok...keep on trucking... legit pain is one thing and like D30 said abuse & use are different. Keep up the good work!
