Starting Over..Round 2

[bray123]

Hello everyone. So I posted on here throughout my first detox about 6 weeks ago. I got to about day 7 and relapsed...one pill and I was right back into my habit full force. So for the past month I have taking hydros and roxy just as bad as before. I have been so mad at myself for going back to this. I worked so hard for 7 days and threw it down the drain. I felt so guilty for relapsing that I just kept taking more and have been too ashamed to even post, even though I have still been reading through everyone's stories. So here we go..I'm ready to try again. For some reason it seemed so much harder this time to motivate myself to quit. However it didnt take long for me to realize why I so desperately wanted to stop in the first place. I am already on day two and experiencing all the symptoms...but at least I know what to expect this time. It actually hasn't been as bad physically this time..the mental part is my struggle as always. This time I am going to kick this stuff for good. I will feel so much better after I make it past a week, since this is when I relapsed last time. I finally decided to give myself a break...relapse ***** but it happens and its time to pick myself back up and try again. Looking for some support for the second go-around. Thanks!

glad you are back!  i relapsed soooo many times before i actually made it stick.  The two things i did differently this last quit was 1.cut ties with all sources to get more pills 2.ask for support  It really is worth it, it just takes some time for you to notice how much better it feels being off the pills.  You can do this!!!

I recently kicked my nasty habit of about 4 30 mg percocets a day. I am now on day 21 of detoxing.  Personally after day 7 I started feeling 2 times better then the day before. It started getting easier every passing day after day 6. I started thinking more clearly then I'd thought since before I started taking pills. It felt awesome, but physically I felt horrible. It took me exactly 2 weeks to feel like I was strong enough to go home and do normal daily activities. Now I'm so happy to have kicked the imprisoning habit and feel like im in my own body again. I wish you luck! I have some unsolveable stomach problems and managed to survive through that hell. I know it's a mind f*** but once you start to feel better, you'll see the light at the end of your tunnel.

Mentioning you know what to expect now is crucial and thats a big turning point for you to make it this time. Even though you went back heavy you did stop long enough for some of the drug to leave your body so it should not be as bad this go around. Just remember we have to do something about this pill taking. Its to expensive and such a waist of the limited time God has given us on this earth. Instead of pill chasing and going through all this mental anguish with the same about of energy we could be creating Patented products and get rich. There are so many products that we can create and become financially successful.

I am glad you are back and congrats on taking back your life.  Getting and staying clean is a life changing process.  What are you going to do differently this time to stay clean?  Think about aftercare okay?
