It probably won't put you back to day 1 with the physical withdrawal but it is mentally dangerous. If you really want to stop then you are going to need a good, solid aftercare plan.

You are playing with fire and and this disease is very much a mental one. You "got away" with it this time but you may not be so lucky the next time and there will be a next time if you don't deal with all aspects of this disease.

You shouldnt start completely over......  But another pill isnt the answer right now - - and another narco pill will not be the correct answer for a long time.......  Out of curiosity - - what were you going to do if it would start them all over?  You cannot dictate nor bargain with an addiction like this. The ball is not in your court. The addiction has all the cards for awhile and it would be better if you realised that part....................

if it did i dunno what id do but i was in the ER for a day and a half the when i  first quit  and they gave me clonidine patch and trazadone to help sleep but i was still in hell .....i really dont wanna use them again i told my friend not to bring them here again or else dont come here ...im just not sure i could handle starting that all over again and thats what has kept me off them for the last 8-9 days was the thought of what i went through i have slept like 20 hours the last 8 days i just wqnted to sleep i didnt wanna get high but im done id rather not sleep then take a chance

Hun, I spent 30 years telling myself that I didn't want to do it again yet I kept relapsing because I did not have the tools not to. If it were as easy as us just saying "I don't want to do this again and I never will" then this community would not be here and neither would any of us.

I need the help of other recovering addicts, of all stages, to help me stay clean, and I still do today. I need the person with 20 years clean and the person with one hour clean. I cannot do it alone and when I finally admitted that I started my recovery.

I wish you the best.

IBK that is so true we always swear this one will be our last and right at that moment we mean it .If you don't have a solid aftercare plan Chances are there will be another one .

I am always amazed that I will forget how bad withdrawls are. Then go ahead and try a pill.
