Possible relapse?????

I have been dreading this post, but I have to do it. I do not want to go into all the details of it, but I need to post. On Friday night, I got into a huge fight with my a$$hole spouse. Let's just say that I was in some major pain and so I took 3 Vicoden. The strength was 5/500....my DOC was Lortab 10/650. I took one pill every four hours starting at 4a.m. and ending at noon Saturday. By Saturday night, my stomach was in so much pain that I couldn't even walk, so I went to the ER, when I got there, my blood pressure was through the roof and they gave me an IV, then I was given 2 doses of Dilaudid (which I had never had before), and then 2 hours later, I got a 3rd dose of Dilaudid. I got a bunch of tests done and all the fun stuff, but my main concern is whether or not this is a relapse? I have not taken anything since the ER visit.

No hun this is not a relapse as drug addicts there will be times that we will need to take drugs for pain, surgery ect. I know from N.A that is not considered a relapse dont beat yourself up just take care of you!! forget the bull of your spouse you are who is important in the end we are the only ones that can take care of us! I hope your med problems resolve them selves as always your in my prayers
