29 days back to day 1
I made a mistake and took some pills yesterday, what a dumb ass i almost had a month. I let myself down and feel ive let you all and my family down. The only good that has come out of the relapse is that it didnt make me feel good at all, and i plan to stick with staying sober. day 1 Clay TX
hey...don't beat yourself up over this...relapse is part of addiction...and part of recovery is being able to move on from there.
if it were me...i'd probably just say "29 minus 1"...oops
you know where to go and what to do now...do it!

WTF???? Clay, you did not let me down. I am really proud of you, and there you go, YOU FELT SHITTY about it and now you know. Next time will be easier to say no. Listen to me, like I am the expert. But you know what I mean. Don't beat yourself up @29 days you should still be proud even though you slipped up. Mourn it and let it go. RIGHT NOW!! You are still a winner. Peace.
I will have you in my prayers today Clay, we are all rooting for you!!! IT IS OK man, You did it, its over. You are OK. Keep on keeping on. Love ya!!

Hang in there...YOu know what..
I threw away FOUR YEARS....4 years of being sober from EVERYTHING....only to be here....but I will tell you...I have come along in ways even I cant explain this is a classic...PIck yourself up, Dust yourself off, and realize your human..it happens, write down your thoughts, why you did, and what you were feeling when you wanted that pill, then write down the affect
Its awesome to have somethign on paper to look at when you get back into those moods, Realize your human, you arent perfect and everyone makes mistakes...The true test...is to realize you dont have to make them again!!
Love ya brother!! Hang in there, your in my prayers!!

You know what you have to do....don't beat yourself up about it! You were and still are an inspiration to many here....myself included....This is a neverending battle that as addicts we all have to fight and you just had a slip....you didn't fall! You have a good head on your shoulders and lots of support at home so just get back on track and be the strong and good person that you know you are!
Peace,

don't worry we all make mistakes or else we wouldn't be here would we? Let me ask you something after taking them yeaterday does it bring the wd's back again today?
They did for me...actually i wasnt that long..maybe only like 20 some odd days...with no slips...i went nad got like 5 of them..did them in two days and had wds again....and then I didnt really stop..well sorta but anyway slol
That it did that it did...
I think it really depends on how much you took and take and how long nad all that jazz.......I was a pretty hard core user..or at least thats what i was told....I mean I would pop a 20 oxy and snort another 3 within an hour....freaking retarded...
even with my breaks of not using and going back to a taper and such...well its still there..and I hardly use anythign now..even when I did slip, expet for my big on in Jan sometime...
Eitehr way...damn pills suck!! lol

Thank yall for your kind words and support, most of all i feel alot of guilt. Im alittle tired but no w/ds. i slept from like 6p to 8a and felt like SH.T yesterday and was falling all over the place at work looking like an idiot in front of my employies(?)cant spell either. and my coustomer. It wasnt what i thought it would be like. Gotta take my daughter to gym be back soon to chat. Hope and prayers Clay TX
everyone did...
it was like this HUGE crew of people...gosh it was freakin crazy lol.....
I popped alot everyday.....but when it was social time...I often snorted...so we could all get high and ****
snorting them does NOTHING for your pain though, so thats why I did both how fucke dup that was lol

Hey Clay,
I know you can do this. Remember this - you have a huge advantage over others in that you will not suffer from the acute withdrawal phase like you did before. W/D will be easier this time and maybe even non-existent, not that you shouldn't remember what it felt like.
And please - don't jump off that cliff. You have accomplished too much to throw it away now.

Glade to see that you have begun day 1. There is a bright future ahead of you so keep on counting. I am happy for you that you have recognized your mistake and are willing to correct it. I will be rooting for you.
Hey there! Relapse is not failure. There is some much growth that can come with it. Some of the best growth comes from relapsing and having the negative experience will bring positive growth. Just because you lost your time does not mean you lost your sobriety. Hit a meeting next time you feel like taking those pills. It always helps me.

Brother.Don't beat yourself up!I'm at 14*days c/t today.I slipped once too and felt guilty.I came clean with everyone here and had so much support all the guilt went away.Instead of starting over put an* after the number and you will remind yourself you slipped once.{big deal}.Dust yourself off and keep going.Keep up the good work bro.Bruce
Clay, I think you are doing great, so what you had a slip up. You know that you can do it hon. 29 days is awesome. I wouldnt start from day one, but thats just me, I would say I was at 28 days. I think Lizzie wrote something like that. You inspire me, so put your chin back up and get back to work,,, Huggs and happiness, G
I agree...say you are at day 28!!!!
And hey, at least you are here you are honest with yourself and it's not like you said "wow, I still like this...screw sobriety!" No, you said you didn't like it at all. So now you know that it is not worth it.
Look at it as another valuable lesson learned in your recovery.
I start day 1 tomorrow and I can't begin to tell you how much I respect you for 29 days...that is just awsome!
