day 13/maybe????????????

[wendy111]

day 10-12were hell with cravings to use percs, agian made it through the day but end of Day 12 I got rushed to the er.  They gave me 2 percs and a valium so they could take xrays.  I could not tell them I had a drug problem and truthfully I was in so much pain I really thought I was hurt.  I was thrown from a horse who was galloping and I hit on my head then  my right side lower back.  DR get real nervous when 55 year old ladys come in with those types of fallls.
they thougth might of cracked hip or pelvis, but the good news is everything is fine just slight concussion thank full for my hard hat  I will never go again to er unless i am unconcious,parlized  or bones are sticking out, the wait made me worse.

Gave me script and I have not filled it going to use ibiprofin.  will I go through withdrawal again just by taking 2 perds and a valium? I felt like telling them 2 will not help but I did not.I did not  let  the drug addict take over.I had been using the past 20 years on and off but only 13 days ago admitted I was an addict. I took drugsaround 7 last night after sitting in ER over 3 hours I think I got worse waiting

I am not craving to get any now either.  would just two set me back cause I feel good today.

I am confused.
what do you think????????

Rip it up and flush it now if you are serious about staying clean!!  You don't have to tell the doctor, "i am an addict".  Just say you were on pain medication for a long time and decided to do without and would not like narcotics please.  :) see, not that hard to say.  You can do this!

thank you did not know there were non narcotic pain killers.
but i am notstrong enough to tell a dr im an addict.  feel ;like a red flag would be put in the system.  watch out for this addict/ I guess i am not at that point to admit to others my problems.  just those of you here. and my therapist and myself  something 13 days ago i could not do..
going to take ibprofen, ice packs and try to rip up the scrlpt,  i know i need to cause i cannot drive now but in a few days will be able to drive.
i believe you all it should get easier,

Things happen and I agree that you needed to be checked out in the ER but as an addict you have to take control and not worry about being judged by a doctor or nurse because you are telling then you just got clean and please do not give you any narcotics.  There are alot of other medications to control pain that are non narcotic.  You should have told them and never even took the script. You are putting your sobriety at risk.  I am being hard on you because I want you to succeed and as addicts we are really good at rationalizing why we did something.  You will not go into any WD.  Feel better soon and stick to motrin.

No, you should be fine but remember, every interruption in your recovery delays your recovery.  Get rid of the script NOW.  Congrats on the 12 days.  Damn hard to do and you should be proup of yourself for making this change in your life.

You will not have physical WD's from that. I always used to say well I am past the worst I can take one here and there after 7 days or so without. I am no longer addicted...I was wrong. Anyways, I can say from exp that no you will not or should exp withdrawals phsycially but I now feel like if I did that, all the mental healing to my brain and building of nutrients and natural endorphins etc...will be harmed. I feel like I would set my progress back to 0 mentally if I took just one and this time I am not willing to do that. Stay strong mentally, the cravings may come back again and be stronger than they would have been but you should be fine.
