I remember the day I did the same thing and I also remember the day I did not. The latter resulted in 5 more months of taking...the former..gave me peace and over a year clean. Yes, you did great!
so proud.good for u.I did that after months of being aober I found out about refills but I had some time under my belt.U should be beyond proud of urself.
That's really amazing... I'm not sure what I would have done...
great job!! congrats on staying strong and canceling that script!
Very, Very Proud of you..I bet that tape in the brain just played back and messed with you for a sec or longer..BUT guess what you won!!! Ya!!!
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!!! SO, SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!
Once again a very inspiring post! I am so, so proud of you. That took some serious determination and resolve. Give yourself a big pat on the back. Keep on fighting the good fight my friend!
IM PROUD OF YOU!! Thats a huge thing
You rock! Wow, that must have been empowering. You are so right, making that call or going through withdrawals... The choice is clear to me. I will remember that, because that really is the bottom line. If I get a script, I will wake the beast, and I will be back in that prison again, and eventually have to go through withdrawal again. That is not an option for me. I literally wanted to die because I was so sick. I will do almost anything to avoid doing that again, that it is one of my powerful tools in recovery. Thank you for sharing this. It is amazing that you were able to call and cancel the script. Good for you!
Thanks ImDone. I needed that!
YAY!!!! That makes me VERY happy!! Well done, hydro. Feel proud of yourself because BOY did you earn that feeling. THIS is inspiring, so thank you! :)
Update: I do NOT have any meds. :-)
Just read your post on the 21st...You got rid of the meds, so -
CONGRATULATIONS!!! And honestly, what you did when you had the pharmacy cancel the script is something that many of us would have stumbled over. I know I would have really had a difficult time with it.
Excellent job.
GOOD FOR YOU!!! YOU did this!!! You did your recovery a great service today and showed your addiction you're determined to stay clean. Doesn't it feel great to have the power to NOT USE? Words mean nothing until we put them into action, and you did. No fear!
I was going to say what you did was amazing - and it is - but after reading ImDONE's post, I have to ask...Do you have meds? If you had them and haven't flushed them, then canceling this script is really moot.
And I agree - it will ultimately come down to us in these situations, BUT, you absolutely need to get your doc to understand and confirm that you cannot have pain meds. It needs to be in your record. Being sure that happens is also your responsibility. Imagine what would have happened if you were in a weaker state of mind and received the call?
There will, in all probability, come a time in our lives when we'll need surgery, etc, and thus need some sort of pain meds. When that happens, there is a way to manage, without heading down the path to relapse.
Anyway, I really hope that you've gotten rid of any meds you may have had and that I'm going on and on for nothing.

Does this mean you got rid of the pills you currently have in your possession? I'm sorry to keep pestering you on this, but just making sure.
And equally important - GOOD FOR YOU for getting rid of the script. Well done.
