I'm new here, so I hope it's okay to just jump in. I saw your post and it  reminded me of myself. I had my car repo'd a couple of months ago. That's when i knew I had hit my personal rock bottom. Your circumstances may be different, but I lost my car because I was spending every dime I had on pills.
I had to come up with 2,000.00 plus 300.00 just for the repo fee, not to mention 30 a day for storage. It took me about a week to come up with the money, and it was difficult, but I did it and so can you:) Like Vicki said, they don't want your car. They would rather you get it back so they can continue making payments to them.
You have 4 days clean, please don't give in now. You and I both know that it won't be just 1 pill. It may get out of control and who knows when you will be prepared to stop again? Just be strong and tell yourself that you can do this without pills. Problems will always come up and you can't rely on the pills to help you through it. That was how you coped in the past, but now you have to find a new way.
You are stronger that you think!! Don't let your 4 days of h*** be for nothing. It will contiue to get better everyday!!!!
Take a deep breath, sit down, and start thinking of ways to come up with the money that you need. Have you filed your taxes yet? Do you have family/friends that can help? Can you take out a small loan? Will the credit company work with you and give you extra time??
Please hang in there, you have made it too far to give in now!

Ask yourself why your car is being taken in the first place?  Could it be because of the pills??  I have been operating at 50% (probably less) the last three years because of these things and have just realized that 90% of my problems are a direct result of these evil things.

You can do this...stay strong and try to think and relax.  What better way to beat this devil than figure out a way around this mess, sober.  It can be done...and the feeling you will get afterward beats any artificial high out there.

We are here for ya partner...keep fighting.

Hey!   Focus!!!    You need your car for everything!   Stop crying and figure out a plan.
Did you call the credit company?  Can you make a plan with them?   Trust me,they don't want your car.  They want you to pay for it,that's how they make their money.
See what you can work out with them...

Your 4 days in, thats awesome.  Its 4 days better then I can do.  Keep it up and cleanmom hit it on the head about being counterproductive.  Look at me I've spent somewhere around $15,000 on percs and oxys the past year or so you don't wanna get to that point.  Keep up the good work, worst comes to worst worry about your car after your 100% clean, you may not see it now but that is more important then you car.  You car is just a hiccup in your road to recovery, I actually envy your awesome progress.  Keep it up cutie

Yes you can. You need to look through the pills, if you take it your problems will still be there waiting for you on the other side to come back with a clear head to figure this out. Stay strong, you can do this. If possible, try to get to a meeting right away and talk about this, i bet they will have some suggestions to help you figure this out. Plus, spending ANY amount of money at this point on pills would only be counterproductive if you want your car back badly enough. And i know you don't want to be back on day one suffering again. Hang in there and do whatever you need to do to stay clean and pull through. I will say a prayer for you right now. God Bless.
Luv, Jacky
