clean for two years and relapst

[dammit11]

Clean two years and yep relapsed for broken ankle. Just percs this time. Before I got clean was taking o.c and alot about 300mlg a day then graduated to h. I smoked it snorted never shot. Anyway did this for over 3yrs and just one day I quit C.T!!!! I truly wanted to die... it was hell but here's the deal I fn made it it took a few weeks but I made it and never looked back.  Anyway I know I'm a addict but it didn't stop me from taking 2 perks every 8 hrs my ankle is better and if I want my doc will give me more. But I truly know all it takes is one more pill and back on the op train so yah no more pain meds for me. Even after 2 yrs it was like a old friend that I knew I could never get to know again.

i'm 400 something days clean from vicodin.

but i injured myself pretty badly about six months ago and they gave me pain medicine for it. but i gave the pills to my husband and told him to dispense as needed. i only took one pill. does that count as a relapse?

keep in mind that i had surgery. a surgery people normally would have morphine afterwards. i had no pain medicine and had to take that one pill two days after surgery.

It might be rebound pain you're now experiencing?  And if so, the pain should diminish quite a bit with time.  :)

I was in the same position the first time I ever did this to myself with percs, loritabs, tramadol, hydros whatever I could get my hands on was 2003 after I had my first child. For the last 8 years I have done this to myself countless times and I think I have been clean for 23 days now. I am in constant pain every single day of my life and I just can't take narcotics or opiates period. So its relapse or just deal with the pain. After these pills have caused me so much pain I would rather deal with my pain then cause more. Anyways congrats to you for having the strength to stay away from the evil substance I run away from. Because you are right one pill hardly stays that way. Our tolerance grows and so does our addict need. Keep up the good work!
