I am currently on day...um....5 and not the 1st time either. I have to tell you though. Our bodies are not able to handle this stuff all the time. I gave in on about 5 or 6 min other occasions. One is as bad as 100. The count needs to be zero. Im still beating my self up for feeling the way i still do at day 5. I can not imagine going back...again to day 1-3. I still have VERY litttle appetite, face is flushed mostly...and sleep is well..another conversation. Its hard to get done. You have to be ready, you have to be there..You have to want YOUR LIFE back..Now go get it. You can do it!

enemy I agree wholeheartidly and it is the truth for me at least that one is never ever enough. I cant even think about using with one and chances are high that it is that way for all addicts.

I apologize but I have to get off here as we have a tornado warning but I will be back asap.......you are more than welcome to write me a PM if you need to talk. Oh this weather is BADDDDDDDDDD!!

I can relate and I know how hard it is. Try to think, "it can always be worse"...I know that doesn't always help but from the sounds of it, you need to talk about this stuff. Get tot he root of why you want pills to cover those emotions.

You are NOT stupid!! We all have different things in our lives that make us crave. Just because you gave into temptation doesn't make you stupid! Lots have tried unsuccessfully. Thing that is important is that you posted and now pick up and continue to move forward!!!!!! Wishing you all the best!!

P.S...sometimes talking about "issues" in our lives helps, that is what I have have a hard time with, opening up. I feel like a burden so if this is the case for you, please know you can message me anytime if you just need to talk or vent!

I keep reading what you wrote.  It's an attention grabber.

You said to yourself:  Just one last one.

But your post starts out saying you gave in and took tablets....the (s)!

What's the saying I see here all the time?

One is never enough?
