In for a rough day, I think

I took my last 2 percs 48 hours ago.  Yup if you have them you will take them.  I have never been able to flush.  They are way too expensive.  I still haven't even paid for them yet so I couldn't flush them.
I did a quick taper so I guess I am officially starting day 3.  I know my tracker says day 2 but my body says day 3.
I will not call for any more percs.  
I will not be a stupid jerk.
I will not ever do this again.
because I like this new Pat I am.

I still am feeling so strong about this and so happy.  I spoke with all my family yesterday because they called for my birthday and it just made me feel so strong.  We talked about my future, selling my house and moving and I have all their support.  It just felt so good to be clean.  Everyone said how GOOD I sounded.
Just need to get through this and get my energy back.  So much to do.

Well, if you weren't scared, it wouldn't be brave, right?  :)

Yaaaay! You did great! : )  I'm so proud of you.  Just don't forget how badly you want to stay clean, and keep that going.  You definitely have to make your new clean life a priority.  Not just "a" priority......THE priority.  It's too much to worry with everything in our lives while we detox.  Just worry with getting and staying clean now, and do whatever needs to be done to achieve that!  Once you have done that then you can start dealing with one thing at a time!  

Remember......one day (or minute) at a time!  One problem at a time.  Right now, your problem is getting clean.  To heck with the rest! (for now!)

I Just sat here and read thru all the advice you have bben given Pat and this forum is amazing place. You are one of the  reasons for this You helped talk to me when i was going thru my Physical WD and I know you can do this lady.
I am proud of you for telling connection NO and You said he wont call back Thats great . Someone gave you a suggestion about changing your phone # Very Good advice I Hope you do it my friend. There are 3 things that I feel are very important to staying clean #1 Eliminate Pill source Its a MUST #2 Be honest with your friend and Loved ones get support  spill your guts tell them you are an addict and need help #3 AFTERCARE- I Go to group meetings tried other things wasnt a fit But my group meetings are with 4 of us and w/o this important step I am not sure I would be be clean .

You aren't harsh at all.  I am trying to keep an open mind and do everything I can to stay clean. I have had 5 years of hell and a wasted life and I have a lot of relationships to repair.
Yesterday was such an amazing feeling when my son and sisters called. I want that back and I want to be a part of my family again.
I don't have a cell phone only a land line and I can't change my number.
I would love to stop the damn collectors from callings.
He won't call again.  
I feel very safe.
