What a ride, huh? Must admit, it makes me feel a bit anxious knowing they are gone, although I had no desire to get one. Wierd! I finally opened up to my husband about this, and that was a major part of my stress lifted off my shoulders. He said he has noticed the last six months I had seemed so agitated all the time and more tired. Now he knows why. I am out of town, he is home, and I told him where I kept my stash and asked that he take them for me. As a recovering alchoholic, he understands addictions and has worked with interventions and helping others...he has not had a drink in 20 years! He is my rock, and I will return to where I was before the percs shortly. Day 4 is much better. Picked up a multi-vitamin yesterday which I started on. Going to GNC to pick up some of the recommendations from the "recipe".
Hope you are all doing well at this moment :)

Good for you, bad for the fish where your sewer system goes ;-)
I could never flush, unless I pretended that my face was a toilet and dumped them in my mouth with water...

You WILL feel better and better....like everyone else on earth you will have ups and downs but you will be able to handle it drug free!! All the coping skills you have used to get through these last few days can help you later in your day to day life.

they tell you in rehab to pour out all your liquor, throw away all your addictive pills. I haven't done either, and dont plan to. I got out of the hospital, with pain pills in my truck. I made a decision not to use, because that addiction has cost me so much already. Honestly. the left over stuff doesnt even tempt me a little. I have punished my entire family enough because of my addiction(s). I dont cook anymore because I was used to drinking wine while cooking, so the kids are eating KFC and frozen foods for now. I feel like the most sh!tty mother in the world. Now I have to turn myself into those keystone cops in the town next to mine for my script fraud tomorrow. My family has suffered so much because of my dam pain pill addiction, it never seems to end.
I did have a relative in law enforcement in TN tell me prescription fraud is the #1 crime in Memphis. He said they think it is mainly because of the internet making it so easy to obtain them and get hooked, then people do stupid stuff like I did to get them.
Now my entire family is suffering financially, emotionally and spiritually. It just sucks.

Thank you for your response. By all the reading and learning I have done these past few days on this wonderful forum, I have come to realize that I , too, have a problem-but it has not escalated to where many others are yet. I also believe they were where I am before they got to today, and that is where I was headed. I took one persons advice on visualizing the pills being tossed thru an open door, and visualizing that door being closed. When the thought of the pills comes to me, I picture a black door and the pills on the other side where they belong.
Day four is starting out really well. I hope your day is going to be your best day ever :)

whatever reason you did it...whatever. anylizing things becomes so relentless at times. i feel you just did it. and what courage that took. now you must focus on what is important, otherwise relapse will be important. and next time (if ever) you have in a pill in hand ready to take, remember that flush.
and good job no matter what happens!

So do you think the fact that I flushed them could mean I was doing this more out of habit than addiction?
Good for you. That is great to hear im on day 3 and i feel pretty damn good i hope you guys/gals are feeling good too. If your not you will be soon. God bless and keep up the good fight.

You are a very brave soul -- I only wish I had the strength and determination that you do. Anyways, I am very proud of you, really. Good Luck - sounds like you are on the road to freedom.

OK...I did it! I looked at the three perks laying in the bottom of the toilet and thought to my self, three strikes and your out, and flushed...wheeee
That's a tempting offer. Seriously think I'm 99% certain I won't take another one of those pills, but I am 34 days post having a rod inserted into my leg from my knee to ankle. I'm not ready to 100% declare that I'm healed of the pain.
Maybe this is all addict talk...maybe I'm just a f***ing hypocrite too.....
If I can go 3-4 more days w/o the pills and w/o the pain..they are flushed for sure. If I disappear of this, then you know I feel off the wagon! :)

I admire all that actually could flush a pill. I could never. My shoulder pain is so bad right now but a heating pad and 800mg motrin seem to work okay. Sometimes I think I made the pain worse so I could get more pills.
To be free again seems a little closer everyday.

ps...i have about 50 Vicodin, 20 Percocets and 6 Oxycontins left and I plan to flush them as well as soon as I'm even 80% convinced that the pain in my leg is really just in my mind and that I'm actually healing. I used to be one to keep that that stuff just in case, but I now see no need to have that **** hanging around.
If you have no real medical need for them, I think you are very smart to flush them. If you really do have a medical need, you could always get more in a legitimate fashion.
