Why do you want to take 1 pill?
Need more info. What is the pill? Have you taken before? Are you taking currently?
We won't give you permission to take illegal drugs or illegally bought drugs. If you're atruggling with addiction can help
I'm 10 days clean today and wonder if I take 1 percocet will I. WD tomorrow
1 pill is too many, 1,000 isnt enough....
My concern is you wanting to take a pill, having 10 days clean and worrying about wd. Do you have pills laying around?
No jus craving and was wondering if I took 1 will I go through wd jus asking
Don't do it, it's never just one pill, I'm at day 9 (OxyContin and Percocet) and the temptation is there but one pill will lead to more pills, 10 days in is a great accomplishment don't take a step back
You will have some minor wd symptoms if you take 1 pill. Do you have access to pills? Knowing they are out there and we can get them to them triggers our minds to want to use. We have to get rid of all pills and sources to stay the course.
Whoops, hit enter before I was finished. Taking even 1 pill will trigger cravings for more too. One leads to two then three. Our brains don't forget the addiction.
I usually don't chime in on things like this but I justcantkkep my mouth shut...no, tou will likely not have withdrawals if u take one pill...because you won't take just one pill, you take more and more...you have ten days under your belt, don't be stupid...you'd be setting yourself up for failure...no doubt about it. Sorry if I sound harsh.
This is the hard part...the time for you to fight for your life! The mental games are starting with your brain. It is calling out to you like a roaring lion that it will be ok if you just take one or that you need it, can't live without it, etc. It's trying to trick you into using. Forget your first thought and go with the second which is, there is a reason I wanted to quit this insanity.
Don't do it! I went through this with you all week. You are stronger than that! You will be right back to where you started. I will NOT go back...just stick with me!
Some on this forum would give anything to have 10 days clean, and you're screwing around with it. You don't appreciate or understand what you've accomplished. Don't do anything foolish. Really - one pill?
I kno I kno its jus so hard tho
I can tell you that I am 3 days clean and would give my left arm for 10 days at this point. 10 days seems like a lifetime to me.
Look if you use 1, it will not stop there. Your brain is romancing the drugs, it is telling you if u take 1 you will feel better and you will for a short time, but then it will set you back the cravings will be crazy.
Go for a walk, if you have pills flush them, if its from an outside source tell them your done.
You know what to do, sit it out wait it out but don't go for the drugs, the craving will pass, go for a walk or something to distract you from your brain. If you take the one pill you will be kicking yourself in the azz for doing so, you WILL regret the action if you take it.
sure it's hard. if it wasn't this forum wouldn't be here and wouldn't be clogged with people struggling for their life. You know what to do. Or rather, what not to do. This is a make or break point in your detox. Your head is trying to get control. The voice never stops; you have to learn to deal with it. AND, you need to cut sources so you can't access pills in moments like these.
I been out running around all day. Haven't been home. I've been keeping busy and still that's all I want an think about
It's darkest before the dawn. I found that when it got so bad I could barely take it, I was days from a breakthrough. At 10 days of percs, I'd say your past the worst of it. You'll feel very different in a few days. You're blood levels are so low now, you'd just want to take more than one to feel good. Focus on why you want to quit and things to look forward to, it helps one make thoughtful decisions rather than decisions based on a passing feeling. If you can't convince yourself, take from us, you will feel better without taking another pill. You have come so far, stay with your original decision. You can do it.
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!!!!!
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.
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
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.
