I so agree.  There is no way I could have had pills around while detoxing, I would have used.  But, I am happy for Misshawn.

Testing ourselves by keeping pills around is a set up for disaster.  I am so glad some of you have gotten rid of them!!!  That is empowering~

I did the same thing! I keep 5 Oxys in my pocket during my detox. I had quit so many times because I ran out but this time I wanted to quit for me. I kept them for a week then said goodbye and threw them out the window on my way home from work. I felt like I needed to do that to signify the end of my addiction. Crazy I know but so far so good.

Fantastic! I hope though by "got rid of them" you mean flushed them! Dont underestimate the power of these things if you just threw them away.

Either way, great job!!

Good for u, it takes guts to do that, give urself a lot of credit, seriously.  I never could.  I was wathcing drugs.inc on natgeo. There was a guy that killed 4 people while robbing a drug store in long island NYC. They were just there not cops or anything, not trying to stop him or anything. It just added to my opinion that these things are evil. and i dont want them in my life nemore.  My friend is addicted too, im trying to get her to stop.

i agree Ron......everyone has to do it their own way i guess but for me.....it's the only choice i had.....they were TOO tempting for me.....i didn't have the discipline to taper or the time/pills.....best thing i ever did to stay clean...

Agreed! the way I read your post was that you still have them and your wanting to flush them and thats the best thing you can do for yourself!! DS is right and they WILL call your name!

my suggestion is to also cancel any remaining refills if you have any....i flushed what i had at my house, then canceled my last refill of 120 Norco....was really hard to do but you have to so they don't tempt you.....pharmacist ask me if i wanted to put them on hold...i said NO....cancel them because i'm stopping them....now they can't be refilled ever. good luck!  you can do it!!

If you get rid of them, you will feel like you are taking control of your life instead of them calling out to you to just take one.  I know it's scary, but it really is a liberating feeling knowing you can't go back!
