[overopiates]

I am always using the mobile site so I cant check my tracker so I used my laptop2check.I know I havent done the traditional30,60,90day but IM THRILLED.As much as I wanna say it was all me I cant take the credit.Im so blessed to have an amazing husband and I am so thankful to all of u on this forum.I lurked B4joining,threw myself into it and come here daily whether Its a rough day when I wont post or a great day when I try to give others advice.Im finally free of the chains  of opiates.Im me again,Im funny again(was my whole life but lost it along the way),most important my son seems to be really happy were play all day,my husband is so proud and happy IM BACK(PLUS Im back to something I love cooking from scratch I think he loves that too)I can honestly say that I couldnt have done this w/o the all of u.My mom even told me to tell u thanks for helping to bring me back to life.She has said almost everytime I talk to her that I sound like myself again we even cried together on the phone ALL TEARS OF JOY,PRIDE&GENUINE HAPPINESS.I know this is just the begining of my journey but its one hell of a begining.THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.I cant explain how greatful I am to all of you&how theraputic it is to be able to share my experience&give advice&encouragement to new members.

Over a big CONGRATS on 76 days that is a great accomplishment. Isn't it great to have your life back and to go back to the simple things that make us happy. Keep it up you are doing fantastic and don't worry about the cough medicine as you handled it like a trooper and that incident only shows how strong your resolve is to stay clean. It's not what we say we are going to do it is what we do so Keep on Keepin on your doing great. God Bless---Rick

@ImDONE.I love cooking just made EASY dinner but my boys(2&1/2yr old+hubby)LOVED the homemade black beans,rice,steak nachos,homemade guacamole+double chocolate brownies.Im pulling out cooking tools I havent used n months even years(a tip4baking especially cupcakes/cakes use a old fashioned hand mixer my sister searched+got me1off eBay so much fluffier).Also Im cooking more eating A  LOT LESS.Lost over25lbs since I quit the pills.

Thanks so much.Im glad u agree that it wasnt a relapse.Im so greatful today for all the people that have my back.I really hope all the newbies here can get sober because if I can ANYONE can.

[ImDONENoMore]

No I definitely would NOT call that a relapse.  You've held your ground, stopped taking it and you're moving forward.  NOT a relapse in my book.

So keep feeling proud because you EARNED this.  :)

[overopiates]

Thank-you so much.I do have a question though a couple weeks after I quit I had a cough my MIL(who had no idea I quit because I kept it very private but she has no idea I was strung out cause us addicts can put on a  good show).Anyway she was being nice went to the pharmacy to get me some OTC cough syrup.I took it twice b4my husband looked at the bottle&said Omg babe this has codiene n it.She got it by asking the pharmacist4it from behind the counter which I didnt even know u could get opiates at all w/o a presciption but its I guess a super low amount.I FREAKED out my husband he didnt think it is considered a relapse because I didnt know,didnt get a buzz at all(I actually threw up from the2nd teaspoon).I didnt change my tracker.I should've asked when it happened if you all think that this is something I should consider a relapse,should I change my tracker?
Sam112 thats awesome
