temptation

[gundo]

i'm going to a job today at a house where I know there is a bottle of hydro..  No one will be there and it is going to be so tempting to take a few..  any suggestions to curb my temptations..  gundo

[cathy5841]

right now tell yourself you will not touch them....do not allow yourself to go near them....this s a hard task but you have to exercise some control and it may as well start now.  first off stealing is against the law and secod do you really want to risk your sobriety and all the progress you are making???no and then you have to deal with the guilt...not good.  and then if you dont take them you will feel so good when you come back here and say  "HEY CATHY...DIDNT DO IT"  come on man you can do it.  prove it to yourself!!!thats real victory.  and i am gunna pray really hard the bottle burns the heck out you if you touch it!!!!!!

[cathy5841]

hey, now type me a message back and tell me you are not gonna touch them lol

[gundo]

your words really hit home with me..  I printed them and am going to take them with me..Your my guardian angel cathy..   you won't have to wonder what happened today.. I'll feel good after leaving work I promise.  gundo  hug

[gundo]

Your beyond words ..  I'm crying..    I love you.  gundo   I'm off to work

So you are going to clean a house where ther is a bottle of dope? If you don't think you can trust yourself, then just don't go.

[gundo]

well I'm going there to fix some windows but I have faith I'll be straight and just do myjob..  between you and cathy and prayers I'll be strong..   thank you  gundo

[toxictome]

KEEPP YOUR HANDS OUTTA THE COOKIE JAR...uh..I mean the pill bottle...

What are a couple of pills going to do for you?? You're right...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!         NO PILLS..NO PILLS...NO PILLS.....

[gundo]

I won't let myself and my support friends down I promise..  You dont' know how much all your support in the last minutes has helped..  I'll let you later today that i'm still clean as a whistle..   gotta go   gundo

[gizzy32]

only yourself knows if you can be there with the pills or not. i know you will be strong, but if you have any doubts at all, never put yourself in a situation you may use. glad to see you are honest about this and i know you will stay strong. NO PILLS.

how have your N/A meetings going?

[cathy5841]

I HAVE FAITH...i know you will be home...clean....and being that i am a guardian angel dont try to knock me off your shoulder, i am hanging on tight!!!!

[GoingToMakeIt]

Think of that bottle with skull and cross bones on it. That is reality! It is poison. Secondly, do you want to STEAL someones things? It is no different than taking jewelry. It is not yours to take.
You can do this!

[toxictome]

I think they installed cameras...soemone's been stealing their hydros...better not go near them...YOU WILL BE CAUGHT!!!   hehe

[cathy5841]

naughty, i dont think he is the only addict to have stold pills.  he is not a low-life just an addict in recovery.  be nice,
cathy

[confused456]

Temptation is very difficult. you can do it and I see that you have Cathy (and many others) support and I am glad that her response touched you so much!! She is inspiring!! You can do this.

[scottt]

DON"T!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chef4u]

God Bless,

Ok, so where are all these jobs where there are drugs.???  Stay out of Peoples drawers, and cabinets !!!!!   Thats messed up.  I have many a handy man in my home....(eyah, baby)  And never once has one asked to use my bathroom.  Professional People do their duty before they work.  or take a break and go to the local gas station.  I just don't get it.

Just dont take them...i realize there are some situations I have to stay away from and will admit to doing some underhanded things to get pills..and it was disgusting...lying to my doc is on the list...try to limit the situations when u can where u expose yourself to pills..in some professions, this is hard...take that paper u printed and read it right before u go in the house...faith in you

[troubleinohio]

ive told this story before here, but will tell it again...a mom i know noticed that her vicodin was getting low and knew she was not taking that many for her migraines..she suspected her housekeeper was taking them...she set up a hidden camera in her house and caught her red handed just as she suspected. The maid was arrested within hours at another persons house (probably stealing from there too). It was even on our local news , showing the footage of her stealing the pills. She went to jail.

Dont do it Gundo!

[NautyOne]

Worried.....l love you.....you should be working for the Bomb Squad  your good at diffusing.....lol.....I admit i am a loose cannon, and not the most gifted with words.  Quit following me and cramping my style.....lol.  good post.

Luv,
Nauty..............

[cathy5841]

naughty, i am not making a petition.  i am just asking you not to call ppl names and be so unkind when someone asked for help.  sorry if you think i misspoke.  it is not my nature to be unkind and i was, because i was upset.  sorry

[worried878]

I do like direct approaches naughty...it is true that stealing is very wrong...but I am guilty of rummaging cabinets myself...that does not make it right...It is DISGUSTING!  and one of the reasons I quit...that is just not me...drugs were turning me into a disgusting person..but I was turning myself into a disgusting person by putting them in my mouth..we do have to take responsibility for our actions...pretty or not

[NautyOne]

Point taken.  Enough said........


nauty..........

[NautyOne]

It's not that I don't understand it......because I do.  I will just never condone it.  All we can hope for is that he doesn't end up like that housekeeper. We live in a day and age where camera's are everywhere.....I am a Nanny.  I know.

Nauty..........:-)
