I'm sorry to hear you relapsed but don't beat yourself up over it. It is NOT easy for ANYONE to get off drugs so you're not alone. I was taking 8-10 norco + 40-80mg oxycontin every day and I detoxed cold turkey a month ago...I know how bad it feels. I felt like I was literally dying, but I kept reminding myself that I wasn't. Its what everyone feels like when they detox. That just goes to show you how poisonous these pills really are. You gotta remind yourself that its not going to be comfortable but you CAN get through it. Everyone keeps telling you that you gotta do this for yourself and I agree with them, BUT you also have to do this for your kid(s)! Continuing to take the pills is selfish...your family needs you! You also need your own self back! Once you get through a few days of feeling cruddy, you will feel amazing. I felt born again, free, like I was seeing the world for the first time. You have to tough it up and be strong...for yourself, your children, your husband, and the rest of your family.

Damn gnarly I didn't think of cps. That's my worst fear oh my god. What do I do? Call the detox center and ask to come back? That'll be another 3000 dollars. I can't get her taken. Now in scared shytless. It's 1 here do u think Ivan call them now and say I am not strong enough to be home and messed up. I can have cps involved I'll just die. I'm so scare now do I think they will call!? I have no more drugs I took it all. And I don't know what to do now. In frwaking out.

Lynn.

Do you have any drugs left?  If so, get rid of them.  You can't change the past but you can choose to come clean and NOT use.  Can you go back to treatment?  Honestly, doll...You need to be there until you have some clean time.  I know you are in pain and struggling so much with missing your daughter-but this is your LIFE and you need to do what you must to save it.  You have to believe in yourself and give yourself some time to heal.  Your husband has been so open posting on here, and obviously loves you deeply.  Please tell him you screwed up and try again.  Really, what are your other options?  You don't want to go down that dark path Lynn...It will end in total destruction and you know that.  The relapse is not irreversible.  Please ask for help and get back to working on your recovery.  You are not a bad person, you are not hopeless.  I believe in you Lynn...Believe in yourself.
