never again unless I am forced due to operation

I have been reading alot this morning about issues of going back on the pills and thinking about the pills.

The best advise I can give is just remember the pain we have all experienced, the pain at night, no sleep, hot showers, etc...., I personally will not go there again and I hope everyone falls back on the bad experience when they think about taking again.

That's the best advise I have heard. We all need to think long and hard about the pain we went thru when we ran out early or wanted to stop. It was madness at its best for me. The pooping runs. Cramps that made me bite my knees. The shaking sweating. All of the horrific parts of  detoxes.

Yesterday I was in a bad space in my head. But I reached out to friends and family.....I was craving big time. And I'm over sixty days clean. I was awful.

But today I feel so much better. Those pills are not worth it.

Man, 60 days clean is amazing. Glad you made it through the cravings. I think that's where we all have problems, when after a while clean, the little voice in our heads tells us "just a few won't hurt anything, go ahead, you'll feel so much better!" We have to remember that it is a LIE, and will just take us back to the misery road. I really do remember that after pretty much being through the W/D's the first part of March, and I listened to that stupid voice. The truth is I didn't feel that much better after taking those three little pink Watson 7.5 mg Hydro's, and was right back on the misery road.
Good advice, remember the misery, call someone to lean on and/or jump on this forum, and we should get through it.
