I wish i believed. Day 5 will get better. I am looking foe an NA meeting just dont know if i got energy to get out .. i feel depressed. I realized i have no like n no real friends. I move every few yrs for work so i thinks after my 6th move w another 1 on the way i am starting to think this is no way to live. But i am to old and under educated to make that jump from my secure job

I'm happy to hear you didn't get the pills! I don't know what it is about day 4??!! I would always cave in on day four. Stay strong!! Day five is almost here! Treat yourself to something nice today!

You should be congratulating yourself on day 4 and not getting the percs.  you are a winner in my books.  You are another day closer to being a good mommy and being healthy.
Stay Strong.

Sorry, that wasn't a question ;) I meant, You've got this!

minn66 · Answer

Thank goodness you didn't get any. You know what they say about it being darkest before the dawn? It's true! Hang in there and think of this... at least you don't have to go to work today! Yes, I had to work on day 4 and it was so effing hard. Only with the help of this forum was I able to make it. Day 5 was a little better, and it does get a bit better as each day passes. Don't undo what you've already done. You've got this? 

Hugs,

Good for you.  Now lose that number.  Every hour that goes by you are closer to day 5.  Using is not an option (right Sarah)..  I am stealing all her quotes but she has a ton of clean time and must be doing something right.

Listen,
Day 4 is by far the hardest, you are almost over the hump, CANCEL THAT PRESCRIPTION!  You know what the definition of insanity is?  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  Active addiction makes us INSANE.  The good news is, you can end the insanity, right now.  Cancel your script, eliminate all obstacles between you and reclaiming your life.  At the end of the day, it's about acting from love for yourself instead of fear.  You deserve to be happy and healthy, you deserve to live, you are WORTH it.  Believe that.  AND CANCEL THE SCRIPT!

Something Sarah said, actually alot of things dominosarah says stick with me and she mentioned death.  I wish I could remember her exact words.
That is what could happen if we don't quit now.  We have been lucky so far.
That is why I keep trying and trying to beat this.  I don't want to die.
Stay strong and don't get any percs.  They will really just make you feel guilty and sick.

Stop dont do it!! No it's not going to help u. Stay strong. Day 4 was my worst but look I've made it to day 7 so can u. U don't need those damn pills. Ur body tells u that u do. But u don't. Please stay strong. The worst is almost over!!! U got this!!! Ok. Please please hang in there. Don't give in!!!

IBKleen · Answer

Why did you call? Why do you still have an active prescription? Hun, I always tell people to set themselves up for success when they make the decision to quit. that means removing all obstacles in your way and all means of obtaining anything. You went through 4 days only to be back again if you pick up the script. My heart breaks for you. It's a vicious cycle and the end is a long, dark road. 

Try and find it in yourself to do it this time. Get your mind off of the pills. I really hope you get through this and I wish you the best.

Pat1956100 · Answer

Are you kidding?  Yes tomorrow will be better if you don't use today.
The first 4 days are the worst and day 5 is the best.
Don't give in now.   You are almost there.  Actually you will probably start to feel better anytime now if you don't use.  Day 4 morning for me was bad but the afternoon was fantastic.  Stay strong.  I slipped Friday night and I am paying for it.  It's not worth it.  You will have to go through this hell all over again.  I am begging you don't use today.  See how you feel later today or tomorrow and we will talk again.  Just don't use today.
