one is too many and a thousand is never enough... it really is not about the 1 pill it is all about addiction. so either you have decided that you are not the same kind of addict most of us are..............or possibly you are experiencing everything each one of us has had and still have to deal with ..craving and denial. this is your chance to go through these feelings and not getting high....the choice is yours.....thoughts are not feelings and feelings are not fact... i suspect that your disease is talking to you loud and hard..... the only way to get throught this is not to use.. give someone your money if you are tempted to spend it on dope....you may have gotten paid today but my guess is there are some folks who have helped you out with money and so to pay them back a little would be the better decision.....total sef centeredness is a major symptom of addicts......i hope for the best for you... this is a very trying time for you.if you are not sure if it is your disease or not.... put it off til tomorrow.more will be revealed.
Annonnus22 pay days were hard for me too...but listen to what Kyle, the above poster, is saying...you need to get rid of ur sources- erase their contact info, tell them ur out like trout, ur done taking pills, and u don't want them to call u, etc etc. it really is important to do that.
Aha! Payday was a huge trigger for me!!! Look, take that money that you would have spent on pills and pay on a bill, go grocery shopping, treat you, your family, friends, to a nice dinner out, get your hair done, by a new outfit, etc. I actually have money to do other things now and not be dodging the bill collectors. I love that I don't have to keep robbing peter to pay paul in order to keep up my supply.
You are at a break it or make it point in your detox. The second week is the worst for cravings as your mind is adjusting to life without them. Just keep living in the moment. Those thoughts used to dominate my thinking, but by visualizing and playing out the tape to the end I could see how that movie ended, and it wasn't pretty. Plus you will have horrible guilt and shame for taking yourself back to square one. Hang in there...it's tough, but worth it.
My whole family knows and I don't get the pills perscribed to me I get them off the streets..problem is I got paid today n hav some money that's why it so hard my family is working with me and are all helping me its just that thought in my head all I gotta do is call my sourse an I got sum
Have you cut your sources? Even if you make it past today, you WILL face this temptation again. Along with the detox, I'd suggest that you do these three things...
Cut sources, tell your secret, and get aftercare. Cutting sources means that you can't easily access meds. Telling your secret means that your doc, friends and family know about your addiction and thus you cannot use behind it. Getting aftercare is just that; an NA meeting. A place where you can go during times of weakness and talk to people. Maybe even get a sponsor.
Either u want to b clean or u don't? U have 10 days clean and ur asking abt taking 1 pill!!?!?! Tell me something what I'd 1 pill going to do for u? Absolutely nothing then ur going to crave more to get high and the cycle continues !!!! What if u SSW a posy from me tht says I'm 150 days clean do u think on bag of heroin would cause WD?? Sounds really stupid doesn't it? Don't do it , its not worth it!!!!!
