HUGE HUG ! This is just a set back, get back on the horse. You had 18 days clean, flush what ever you might have left and keep going. As you know, most of us didn't make it the first few times. Does your doctor know that you are trying to get clean ? Sometimes I think you have be honest so it won't be that easy for you to score. We still love you.... never give up. Mary
Sorry about your relapse. Congrats on 18 days! I think most of us have tried to quit before and relapsed. Eventually we all hope to get it right. So, try, try again. Don't beat yourself up about it. The fact that your aware, trying and still coming back here is proof that you do want to do this.
I agree with Mary, tell your Doctor whats happening and flush those pills. We're here for you, no matter how many times it takes to get it right. We've all been there, done that. Never be embarassed or ashamed to tell us whats happeneing.
Take care & be strong.

Hi, This is a temporary setback, not a link in an unbreakable chain. You don't have to relapse anymore, but you really should take a look and ask yourself how you let this happen. Why did you go to the doctor for instance. If you take a look at why you did it, you can take steps to not let hit happen again. Like Beach always says, quitting is the easy part, staying clean is the hard part. What are you going to do next time you want to use? Have you ever thought about NA? I hope that you don't have to go through w/d's again. Did you think about that before you took them? If you did, how did you talk yourself back into using? Here's a hug, and please don't let guilt be the start of something horrible. Let it be the start of something wonderful. :) I believe in you, but you need a plan to combat this.
Lots of hugs to you)))))))
The others have great helps for you-listen to them.
Have you thought about a recovery home-half way home or something similar?
I think NA would be great too-alot of helpful meetings.
This is not the end of the road-you can do it!
You'll be in my prayers & thoughts.
