When is the best time

[Friend999]

For those of you that don't know me, I have a friend on Oxycontin (Oxyvodone, Roxys) and I want to help get her off of them.

If I can get her to spend say 4-5 hours on this site, when is the best time?  I mean, what is the best time of day that she might not be in a thick fog?  Early in the morning before she takes any pillls? Just before she normally takes a pill?

Also, If she has kept it secret from everyone (denies it to me), and currently is not ready to quit, what are the chances her reading what all of you wonderful people have to say would have an effect?  50%, 20%?  I believe most of you came to this forum with a desire to get clean, so this forum had a bigger impact.

I would appreciate any help, because I truly want to help a friend.

Thank you all for your comments.  It sounds like the best time for her to read this forum is when she is ready for another pill(s), or there never is a "best" time. Not having experienced being on oxys, I just thought there was a certain time that the "fog" is not so dense and one would be more alert to real life.

My best to all of you, and I hope that for everyone of you that the day will come that you will be so involved with the joys of a clean life that your past life on your DOC is a distant memory.

There are not alot of good blog sites for lifetime Oxy users who love thier life,  So bring her here, your a good friend, her addiction can only end up in recovery, just a question of when shes ready.  Good Luck

You are a good friend indeed. Get her on here anytime. I would say during the day there are less people on, but the ones that are on, are the regulars like myself and will absolutely help. And the evening there are lots of good hearted people who have also been here a while and will be willing to help. She sounds like she needs help. And you are a great friend. Let us know.

Honestly there is no such thing as the best time. There is no real science to it. You just have to want to become clean. But bringing here on here and having her read posts,journals and the health pages could bring a change into her heart. Sometimes people think there is no better way and what they are doing is just fine. I would suggest having her read on here if she is willing to do so. Best of Luck

Thank you, Goingto makeit.

By the best time, I mean in relation to the time she takes her pills, such as, if she takes them every 6 hours, then is hour 5 the best time that she would be most susceptible to what you folks have to say?

Getting her on here anytime is good. It is busier in the day time. No way of predicting her  chances being swayed by us. Getting clean is a process. The first is to admit you have a problem. She has to be the one to decide to quit. Sometimes seeing that other people have made it helps tremendously. It gives hope when you feel no hope.
