HOW FAR DID YOU GO TO GET PILLS

[oxynomore07]

I was so desperate to get pills one day I took a landscaping brick and drop it on my big toe and broke it. It was very painful and regret it now cause my toe nail is still trying to completely heal. They had to burn through it to relieve the pressure from the blood. Now that's an addict.

Bwaaa-ha-ha! Reading this and seeing I'm not the only one who's done stoo-pud stuff is so cathartic. I've been lurking around here for a few days, but never posted ...this one is just too good to pass up, though! I've engaged in so much self destructive behavior in order to feed the need. I've Dr shopped (that one has come 'round to bi-otch slap me in the last few days). I've lied to Dr's (the old: I'm going out of town and need a new script to cover me, dropped my bottle in the toilet, lost my pills, they disappeared from my luggage stuff-like they haven't heard it all before-yet they gave me more pills!), dentists, loved ones, and worst of all, myself. I found myself thinking a coupla weeks ago that I should schedule another face laser because my derm will prescribe any pain killer of your choice...WTF?!? Still planning on a laser, but getting more pills should SO not be the reasoning behind it! I'll post later some of the background that has led me to the road to self dicovery and recovery, but for now, I just had to add my 2 cents here...thanks for the laughs! I really needed them. Today, it's Spring, and its time for new beginnings!  :)

[Shotrock]

Josh and Marbles, u guys are killing me I'm laughing so hard. Thanks for the post!

[liscamdave]

All of these things we did in active addiction. I would never do those things now, clean. Its sad, but we just have to move on. Its hard and I know some of us are ashamed. But its life, we did it to ourselves. Its up to us to not let it happen again...

[lostmarbles]

you guys make me laugh out loud!!  

It's a bloody wonder I didn't go for anything else !! I swear if the lips had come out fab I'm pretty sure I would have thought how brilliant I was for thinking up new ways of getting pills - from the cosmetic surgeon haha!! at that rate it's no wonder I didn't have the full works... nose job, boob job... any bloody job !!!

I swear I'm laughing my head off now... I didn't think it was that funny !!

love to you guys !!! xoxoxoxo

I can relate. I pawned my late mothers wedding ring to buy pills. I'm lucky enough to have a boyfriend who got it out for me. That was my low. I too lied to doctors, over and over (did some silver screen worthy acting too) stolen my family and friends meds, but the worst was pawning the ring, she had only been gone less than a year, that hurt. Oh and I almost got my father into trouble by refilling his scripts when he didn't know about it, that was a low moment too.

Geez, did I just say that outloud?? lol, terrible but kind of relieving.... thx josh, great post

Much Luv!!

Marbles!  You should have made your screen name Quack Quack!  Of all the crazy stories I've shared & heard on this forum, you WIN!

My story:  I used to cross the border in mexico & come back through customs with the legal amount allowed.  What they didn't know is that I had thousands of pills duck taped to my body under loose clothing.

[liscamdave]

This is an interesting post. I can say there are things I did that I never would have seen myself doing. I associated with drug dealers. I spent all of my savings. Almost lost my house. Its bad. I almost hurt physically, typing this. I spent my daughter's savings. I did some messed up things to get pills. It was bad. I hope I never go back.

Hope all are well.

hey, great post, great question. one many of us have a hard time facing. i think once we do we are certainly on the road to recovery. i have done some pretty stupid things to get my pills in the past. i have also lied to dentists and docs to get perscriptions. i have gone with out food before and never stolen anything, but i stole pills from people that trust me. that is the hardest for me.......... what it does (did) to my character, i want to be trusted, and a person of integrity. drugs robbs you of that. it is so cunning.

soooooooo **** at math....... it was the other way around.... sterling/dollars not dollars/sterling lmao.....I obviously need a lobotomy !!

On a serious note, I agree with Nauty xoxox

[oxynomore07]

I would never dream of doing that now I am 129 days clean and still have a hard time believing I did that. Lost marbles that is too funny I wonder if you could inject that down below and be swollen for 4 months LOL

[NautyOne]

lol;.......Omg.  I am cracking up.  Im picturing your cute little face with them big ole duck lips.........to funny.  

nauty...........:-)))))

[NautyOne]

I have to tell you that your not alone.  I really admire your honesty.  I don't believe a lot of people would admit to self-harming themselves to get pills.  I personally haven't done it, because I already had and have a reason to walk into any doc's office and they would give me pills, but I can't say I wouldn't do something like that if I didn't have a problem. Please try not to do that again.  I know your stronger than that.  Your teetering on dangerous behavior.


Luv,
nauty.....................

running out of my meds a week into my months prescription, couldn't go to my other doctor as had eaten that prescription a week prior to that one and so with 3 weeks to go I madly decided to have my lips pumped up and asked the cosmetic doctor whether he would prescribe me xanax as I was a 'nervous' patient..... I looked like a duck for for the the 4 months it was in my lips, he only gave me one pill... and so I had duck lips for 4 months and my one xanax cost me $350, in english money.. 700 pounds sterling !! I was not happy !!

[oxynomore07]

It is crazy what we will do to get our fix and now that I am sober I wouldn't have the ballz to do any of the stuff I pulled.

[gizzy32]

yes that is an addict. my god i did crazy things although i did coke not pills. ive showed up at biker clubs to buy blow. went to crack house's with guns there and people i didn't know, but didn't care, just wanted my coke. i became friends with dealers that used and sold so i could get deals on coke. i did some crazy things to get it so i can relate. if dropping a brick on my toe would have given me a prescrption for blow, i would have no toes left. i can relate to what you are saying, we do it out of desperation.

[NautyOne]

Tijuana Mexico.......lol

[road2recovery]

wow , josh i hope that toe heals :)   Very good post...For me i went to parts of town that i would have never gone, ever...Now being clean this long, it almost feels like it wasn't me that did that, very hard to explain....i guess other things would be lying to dentist, or doc...
Did not do any self harm but i am sure that would have happened if i would have continued...Oh and the worst for me was taking out of family's medicince cabinets...Even though i knew they were not in pain, and they were usually expirated, that is not who i am....
dang that was tough writing that , but felt good too...
