Drugs in the Medicine Cabinet - Day 97

Mar 06, 2008 01:26PM - 8 comments

I posted this but decided to have it in my journals too.
     I decided after being clean for 97 days that I will flush the pills in my cupboard. I was never tempted to use them even though I knew they were there. When I made up my mind to get clean, I made an irrevocable decision to not use.
     I write about the pills today to help others know they can do this too. Many of you will have to go through getting clean with drugs around you or easily obtainable. Don't use that as an excuse to take them! In my case, even with my drugs gone, my wife has percocet for an injury from a semi-truck flipping and then wiping her off the road. Pills are poison to an addict. You really need to set your mind against ever using them.

So here is to Happy Fish!

Happy fish is what we like to see
Happy fish makes me feel real
Happy fish makes us strong
With Happy Fish you can't go Wrong!

The poem is mine. So is the one in the journal Ode to Pain.
Thanks for your comments. and yes I am sure I am an addict. It was easier to say no than to try to taper.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh for you!!!!! congrads now I have a question How did you do it? My husband has been taking pills for so long that I think I would break down and cry (tears of joy) if he ever did that. Thats a big step in the right direction and it takes a lot to do something like that but YOU DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!

The poem is great!! I'm so proud of you for staying clean and I love your attitude about how you're remaining clean. Glad to hear you flushed the pills, but honestly I don't know how you did it with them sitting in your cupboard. I know I don't have enough willpower to do that, not yet anyway. Congradulations!!! You made it and I think you're AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
