Hi all I really done it this time I was 12 days clean off of viks or perks and relapsed today so are my withdraws going to start all over again? Not sure why I let this happen my nerves have been going nuts for the last 3 days and my energy is so low.

Hey~  Just start again. Can't say about the w/d's. It depends on how many you took.

Get rid of anything in the house now. No phone calls,refills,etc...

We all go through the energy thing;you just have to push through it!!

Post back with an update~

Thanks I was doing so good then all of a sudden bam my craving were out of control I"m not going to try to get any more

Good!!  Are you getting any outside support?  It does help so that we learn the tools to
recognize and deal with our triggers so that we don't use!

When this happens again,just get on the forum and start posting! We'll get you through the tough times.   Start thinking about some recovery care,okay?

Don't beat yourself up.  Just try to relax and take another shot it.  One thing I learned is that I can't do this alone.  When that craving hits call someone who understands or get on here and start posting, pray, go for a walk do something other than use and you'll get through it just fine.  Vicki mentioned recovery care.  NA and AA are full of folks like us and are very supportive.  They understand cuz they've been through it and can show us how to do it.  Wishing you the best.  God Bless!!

Just dont beat yourself up cuz thats what we addicts love to do then we use then we spiral down again for another few months or years or whatever it may be til you hit rock bottom and have to start all over.....I dont know about you but Im tired of counting out pills, panicking when you realize u might be out, spending hard earned money that could be used for meaningful things in life!!  Just get back up and ran after the wagon and jump back on!!  Wish you the best.....In Christ   Jeff

Hi! Im afraid to say that after all this time Im still using! Still at the same place of employment, struggling with many health problems now, in serious pain all the time. Im still struggling to pay for all my secret 'helpers' & now am honestly at the point where Ive worked myself into almost disabled, my shoulder is disfigured, I know theres arthritus in it, my hips & a few other places. Cant get by without the xanaxs either, I have horrible, horrible panic attacks & feel like Im dying, I hope everyone else is doing better than I am, Lord knows this has been a daily struggle for so long now!
