Day 1...again

For the last 2 years I've been addicted to percocet using about 150-200mg a day. I've been through counseling, broken close relationships with good friends, lost my familys respect and trust. In September I went to a week detox came out and relapsed after about 2 weeks. 25 days ago I decided again I don't want to live like this, so i went to the doctor and got suboxone to detox. After takin the suboxone for 4 days I safely with very little pain detoxed. I've been clean ever since, until tonight. You see my mom broke her ankle and was prescribed percocet of course. The yellow 10/325 my favorite. I couldn't resist and took two. I really feel w

Try protecting yourself from things like this by not being around the pills or asking someone to put them away when you're around??  I would have had trouble with them sitting in front of me too for a long time.  Maybe even some days now, depending on the day I'm having!!!  Aftercare is really important in recovery!  It helps us be stronger in weak moments like seeing pills......even our "favorites!" : )

Hang in there!

I am on day one again also. I am so scared of the withdrawals to the point I think I am psyching myself out. I am hoping to find my inner strength through all of this, I know it's somewhere deep inside of me. I have tried detoxing 3 times before and hoping this time I can get thru to the otherwise.

hey man , hang in there it took me 3 1/2 years on this forum and alot of deleted posts written while usin., a failed attempt 1 1/2 years ago, and i am on day 13, and doin better every day my wife also (i waited till she was really ready), so just never give up. cuz it will happen when your desire to use is not as strong as your desire for freedom.
I havent felt this good in 8 years! and its been such a short time, it does take courage though!, i started counseling 7 weeks before i quit as i had become non functioning and starting to use h and knew i was about to go down in a hole. aftercare is important, no matter what it is, personally i dont do the aa thing (prob. been forced by the court to much in past) but thats just me .i do 1+1 counseling and am starting opiate recovery pain mgmt. with wife next week.

hang in there and just start over.

OTF-no more
