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!
