I just went through a horrific week detoxing off hydros and today I took 9 pills.Am I going to withdrawl for a week again.I cant brlieve I took them today,Tgey were out of my system.I just was tired of being weak with no energy
Relapsing is the reason why Kyle is so adamant about cutting ties, and he gets a lot of heat for it, because it can't be sugarcoated. We need love, and that comes in more than one form, we need reassurance, and motivation, but we also need tough love when the situation calls for it.
Kyle doesn't want to see people relapse, plain and simple. It is his forte, making people see that there is nothing sweet about it, you MUST get rid of all pills and cut all ties.
Kimbo, I hope you will take this relapse as a lesson and this time get rid of all pills and connections. You can do this, you did a week, you can do it!
The energy thing, liek the other mental symptoms is tough, but if I can do it, anyone can, as I am a huge wuss. I am on day 106 I think it is, and life is new and wonderful.
SOMETHING SCARES ME!!!!! The fact that you took 9 pills after one week of not having any is highly dangerous!!! WHen you dont take pills for a period of time you become less tolerant. If you would have been off the pills for longer those 9 pills may have killed you with an overdose!!
This is another reason we must cut all ties and flush all pills.
You can do this, we are here for you, get back on the path, please, and you will have a new life waiting for you when its over.
hugs,
Lily

This happens all the time... let's face it, when we first quit we are SUPER sensitive and defensive as well. It's normal. And it happens to all of us.
Now is the time to LISTEN to everyone, hear their stories and experiences because it will help you to understand your addiction and learn as you move forward. It's all part of the process - the advice given can be hard to take at first but you have to take it. There's no other way. You just do.
And kyle, your posts are a g-d-send in this place - you're a straight shooter and call it like you see it. No BS. Just the reality of addiction and it needs to be met on with that kind of passion. vickis right - this is NOT candyland.

I hope you check back, in spite of folks trying to derail your thread this morning...It happens when people are sick and not feeling well...
Have you gotten rid of your sources? That's the first step in being successful with quitting. Let us know what's going on with you today...

"I just was tired of being weak with no energy"
story of my life.
each time i got up, dusted myself off and tried again . . . each time more determined not to mess up again.
two two things i didn't realize : 1) each time the problem had grown a little worse and more difficult to address; and 2) each time my ability to address the problem had become a little less.
the fire kept getting bigger and hotter, but i continued to call only the same fireman who failed to put it out before (me), to try again (and again) . . . each time with a little less stamina and a smaller hose. hmm, what was i thinking?
another thing i didn't realize was that addiction is a relentlessly progressive disease that, if not arrested, will destroy your life before it kills you. i didn't understand that at all. i thought i was just weak and bad. very weal and very bad. of course i was neither. i was just sick and not able to get better by myself.
i didn't get better until i quit trying to fix it all by myself. it was always bigger than i knew . . . it was bigger than i was capable of knowing. if i had seen the true picture, i might have sought help sooner. but i was constitutionally incapable of doing that. it almost killed me, but that's the way it was. i was unable to stop hiding from help until i was too weak to exert the effort to resist . . .
still, if i had somehow pulled out early, things wouldn't be like they are now and i'm very happy with how things are now. so, i don't regret the fact that i took it to the brink . . . it's what happened. it seems like it was supposed to happen. i'm not only completely at peace with it, i'm grateful for it.
i wonder what you'll do.
