Holy **** Rose.......6-8 80's a day!!!????? I thought 4- 40's a day was extreme! I guess it is, in my own way? Holy moly! How is your 3rd day going? I feel better, but still crave my pills....I had a "friend" tell me she had one percocet that she would give me yesterday to ease the wd's...but she never called me back...what a friend, huh? I am sort of glad she dissed me..???!!!! Anyhow, it has to harder for you? Am I right? I seem to be handling it well...my last half of pill, because you know the last ones you have , you cut them in half to save them longer!, but my last one was tues. evening about 7 pm eastern time.....so am I doing good, I would say definitly better then I expected!!!

I relapsed mainly because I do have legitamite pain and I just couldn't take it anymore, but the harsh reality is that my tolerance is so high that I can do 6-8 Oxy 80's in a day and barely keep my pain under control. I got weak one day and started using so now I'm on day 3 too!!
When the will to be clean is stronger than the will to use then you will succeed. I heard that quote somewhere on the board and it makes perfect sense. As addicts we will always have a weakness when it comes to drugs, alcohol, and whatever else might come along!! I've never been a drinker in my life, but I sure can put away some Vodka, especially when I'm craving, but by doing that I'm just trading one drug for another.
Going to meetings is good because you're around other people that are just like you and you get a whole new group of friends! They're people in there from all walks of life and it's helpful to be around those people and share in addiction.
Well it looks like we're together on clean time and I go to the doctor on August 4th.
Another saying I like is 1 is never enough just like 1000 is never enough! So honestly no matter how many your prescribed won't matter b/c you will take all of them, I know I would!!

Also NA/AA meetings have nothing to do with the VA. They're local meetings which you can find in your phone book and there's no payment involved. Since you're this far into detox then I believe doing the meetings alone should work out for you. Their motto is to do 90 meetings in 90 days and you might wonder why. I can answer that one for you because after being VERY close to my 90 mark clean from Oxy's I just recently relapsed due to among other things, no aftercare!!

I tried meetings....guess what? They said I wasn't ENOUGH of a case to be admitted to a bed or treatment because I didn't have a cocaine or alcohol problem....That's the VA for ya!!!!!
