Hang in there. You will make it this time. We've got to get you to some face 2face 12 step meetings. Maybe an AA mtg when your husband or friend could watch the kids? This will be the last time. Hang in there.

have you considered  a taper??.  Your children need you clean...this time is short and they will more than survive.  Better now than never.  I hope you can keep this going.  Sometimes the therapist is not right for you.  You might try another one.

Sorry you are back here again.  I understand...did it myself a time or two.  A year is amazing.  

Hunker down and just get thru it.  Do you have the supplies??  Immodium, gatorade or other liquid, etc??  

After is hard.  I had to make sure there was nothing available to me by closing all avenues.  Did you have an aftercare program??  If you did not go to NA or other program.. maybe a private therapist would be helpful.  There is a reason we stayed on the pills and I had to dig deep to figure out what I was hiding from.  

I hope all goes well and so glad you came back!

I am glad you are here. I am only 18 days  off of Vicodin and this helps to know I need to keep my guard up and keep pushing on. Honestly in my little warped mind I was thinking when I get back from vacation I don't think I really need this NA thing. I was even debating about keeping up on here saying "I got this". It's obvious I don't if you did it a year. I am a newbie but anything I can do to help I am here for ya :-)

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself! The important thing is that you want to quit, and for that, you should be proud. Definitely cut all ties, and remove any source of temptation. Have you thought about aftercare yet?

Hi. It sounds like you did it once and I bet you can do it again! Maybe you can help others (like this one) while you help yourself. I am a little over a month clean, zero urge to relapse, but I worry about what might trip me up down the road. What got you? Could you have handled it differently, or did you have no choice?

I know it will probably be hard for you to post over the next few days, so I'll keep an eye out. And if you don't want to talk about it, I understand and simply offer you my support regardless. Hold fast!
