Really rough night last night

[Fullcircle182]

Day 6 was harder for me than I thought it would be.  I was hoping to be out of this fog but it's still here.  On a positive note I am on day 7 and still clean.  This has been a pretty hard journy so far and yesterday did not help I had an old friend call me up needing to make some money and offered me a full perscription of Percs for $40.  Normally I would have done it but I politley declined and asked him never to call me and talk to me about painkillers ever again I was kind of proud of myself.  But then later that night I went to the pharmacy to pick up a couple scripts and I didn't even look at them when I got home I saw a script for percs I was already struggling yesterday with wds and after that phone call from my friend and then this ugghhhh!  It was just a little more than I could bare so I grabbed the script of percs drove right back to the pharmacy and returned them at first the
tech wasnt going to take them back but as I told her a little about my situation and how hard I was trying to get off them she decided to take them back.  They also red flagged me in there system which I am thankful for.  I thought i was over the wds but last night was really bad no sleep sweating some more and today I am at work already and I am so weak and tired.  I have followed the Thomas Recipe to the T and it's helped i'm sure but I am oficially 1 week clean it feels good to say that.  Any words of encouragement to get through the day today would be greatly appreciated I just want all these wds to end already ugghhh so frustrated right now.

7 days is a great milestone... so pat yourself on the back knowing each day will be a little easier. Go for a nice walk with upbeat music. You are doing great! Standing ovation to you for getting flagged! As for old friends... you hit it on the head, they are indeed OLD FRIENDS! keep up the good fight. Even at day 30, my hours are ups and downs, far more ups now!

I am sooo proud of u! You had two chances to throw it all away and you chose YOURSELF over the devil pills. I applaud you, not sure if I could done the same honestly. I too am off Percs and today is day 12. I actually slept 8 hours last night which has not happened in years. Day 7 was tough for me mentally, I nearly crashed. But, the physical for the most part should be lessened. Great job, keep it up.

I am at day 13, I feel pretty good. I'm sleeping better, and the fog is a little lighter, although not completely gone. Good ide having the pharmacy red flag you, that's another form of defense, and good for you telling your friend to stay away, even better defense. I have moments when I feel confused or I can't put together a complete sentence or thought, but it passes and is happeing less and less. I think back to when I was slurring my words or not joining conversations because I was high from the pills, don't want to go back there! Keep up the good work! You are doing this!
