I've been a bit concerned, myself. Maybe it's something as simple as the baby being sick....I hope it's that, anyway.
I hope all is well with her and her hubby!!

Hey
I have been busy the past few. I was 5 days clean, and had a tiny slip, nothing major, but screwed up my clean time. I am doing fine now, and just trying to concentrate on making it through.
Actually there has been other things in my life besides my addiction that has got me down. the "pills" are for once not the #1 thing that is hurting me, it's other stuff i'd rather not talk about right now.
Java, Jeff, Kathy, Meghan, Skeeterey lol, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. I'm doing alright.
My little dumbass "slip" has just showed me more of what I need to do to quit doing this to myself.
I didn't feel like announcing it because ...well...i've done that so many times , i am getting tired of hearing it and i was going to come back after I've gotten my other crap together.
Love
stac

Hi Stacey slip? what did you fall? LOL
Look yesteday means nothing. Today is whats important.
I got my blood back and my kidneys were messed up a bit due to all the anti inflamms and my white blood count and neutrophils are sky high cause i have another infection
this one is by my ear. Antibioitic creams the usual. If it does not stop growing I couldb e totally PUCKED again. And our whole office is sick so of course I battled that last wek into this week.
It never ends and this is why Imust get off the prednisone. I hate this wish I was back in N.Y.
Loving the weather 85 not a cloud --and in 1hr and 5 minutes outta here picking up my girls.
My old man is taking us out fro dinner.
But Stacey i cant do anything esle about it. If it gets worse the doctor said go to the ER--I pray it at least stays o.K for the weekend.
Stacey keep in touch. Hope your hubby is doing well.

As long as you can say "had a tiny slip, nothing major, but screwed up my clean time. " you will probably not be able to stay clean, honey. A tiny slip? There's no such thing. It's time to take sobriety seriously. A slip is a slip. If you keep having them and not take them seriously there is no way you are going to stay clean. This isn't a game. It's life and death. We must be serious about recovery or we will die. Look at it for what it is. Don't try to downplay it. You used. You must start over. At this point it's not the end of the world but it could be. What about hubby? How's he doing? Be careful, Stacey. You're playing with fire.

Dear god, kat, you are a prime example of why i didn't want to come here and say anything... You think i'm dumb enough to not know when I screwed up? I'm sick of this crap. LMFAO. Being 22, Taking a couple 7.5 mg lortabs when I have pain shooting down the front of my legs and am unable to pick up my baby is not life and death. Not to me anyways,
I'm off for good, f*ed up when I looked at the board and caught my name on it... anyone that I would want to talk to has my email.

Kat slips are part of the game. i am not minimizing it at all, But she is trying her best.
I pray they get to rehab or suboxone. weaning just does not work very often. JMO
Kat I could imagine My EX and I using drugs together. This makes getting off drugs much harder.
I would hope they can swing a suboxone treatment.
Hang in there Stacey

I cringed to see the above post from kat..lolol/ hey love dont take that personally..thats the 12 step way...the tough love..hold yourself accountable..you know the drill...it still smarts sometimes i suppose..
You dont need anyone to tell you that you need to take it seriously and chastise you for having a "slip"
Its getting comment such as that which makes many people not want to come back, or to be truthful about their slips...
Good for you for being honest...others will learn from you, and down the road, once youve had 6 months etc.. of being off the pills, they can see that this has all been a process...including your "slips"
You know what your doing Stace, you know what made you take the pills again...use it, learn from that and carry on...throwing in the towel just because you goofed up once is like eating the whole chocolate cake when you took a lick of the icing...lol...( here we go again with my chocolate cake theory..lolol)
Email me, call me, stay in touch..your a tough cookie...youll be fine..listen to your heart...she never will steer you wrong..
Hugs

Ali she is one TOUGH woman. And she is very smart. And I know she will figure this out.
!2 stepper is just sharing her experience. Hey if your in pain and need a few pills and your weaning your gonna take them.
weaning does not woork very often. what sucks is that If Stacey and her husband want to get clean there are obstacles.
Not many people doing heavy drugs with a baby and a using husband can just stop and go to meetings. Not that easy.

Dear stacy, Even though I agree with 12 stepper and this is a life or death disease. You came on here and admitted that you slipped.Alot of people would not have done that. I got your email today and I hope I have helped you out in some way or another. I know how you feel about this board and not wanting to keep telling people you get clean and then slip. But in the program people slip and come back all the time. The only reqirement for membership is a desire to stop using.
I know you have that desire and if you slip a hundred more times just please keep on coming back and trying. Thats all we can do. This disease is very conning and manipulating and I am sure in your mind you see it as a tiny slip but it is your life we are talking about so some people tell it like it is.
I am sure 12 stepper was just telling you what she did to help you and not hurt you. I am about to write you back so you will be getting email in a few minutes. Stay strong and dont give up. It is hard as hell to fight this addiction but you are doing all you can do. I know I have been there and I have relapsed a thousand and one times but I kept coming back and thats all that matters.
Love ya,
April

Oh Stacey I am so sorry I hurt your feelings. You are right. The way everyone else has to stay clean doesn't apply to you. You are very different from everyone else. You can take pills as prescribed for your pain.
I am sorry I posted to you. I will not offer you advice again. Don''t leave on my account.

Hey Y'all
Please dont think i was trashing Kat..i wasnt...i was just trying to tell Stace, not to be TOO surprised at the language used in kats tough love...cus thats the way true 12 steppers speak...the tough love part....
Tough love doesnt work for everyone...BUT having said that... i WAS a bit surprised it came from kat, and had to look twice to make sure i had the right kat...
Kat doesnt normally come off so strong, especially when she knows how stacey feels and reacts to the whole tough love issue..
Kat i think the world of you..you know i do....

We all have relapsed and I have no judgment on Stacey for that. However, if one really wants to get clean you have to WORK it. NOONE is going to get off pills easily. Stacey you stated your AGE in your post. What does that have to do with it? Sounds like an excuse. A few years ago I had lots of reasons not to quit, first off was I figured I could do it whenever I wanted, then I reasoned there were many far worse off than me. Finally, though I woke up and realized that if last year I was on 8 a day, the year before 5 a day and this year 10 a day, well that predicted my future? What future do you see for a 22 year old already addicted? If you are clinically depressed, find a doctor who will give you the necessary medicine for that. Painkillers, are a killer. Does anyone really find they help their pain anymore? Bottom line, we ALL have to be ready and willing to do the hard work to get sober - whatever that may be.
Hey Stacey! Before this thread gets locked I just wanted to throw in my two cents, which is worth about 1 cent! lol I sometimes get my feelers hurt when someone says something strong to me. However, and remember I dont know anyone all that well, I dont think Kat was picking on you Stace. I think she was encouraging you in the way that worked for her. People use a lot of different ways to stay clean. If you get 10 reply's, chances are you'll get at least 9 different opinions on what works.
Sweetheart, you know how this board works. Just take what you need out of the posts, and leave the rest... I really hope you werent seriuos about leaving. You have a lot of people who care lots about you here. Myself and I believe Kat included.
Come on Stace, come back out for recess and play! ( this was NOT a dig about your age LOL, I say this to all my friends when I want to go do something...
I love ya Stacey hope to see you soon ( so to speak ;)

Donna her situation is not so simple. she is goingto have to make some decisions.
I am not making exscuses for her. But $hit she has a lot of issues. She needs some support and prayers not being scolded as she knows addiction quite well.
JMO --this woman will figure out a solution. Takes time.

Outta here YEA
P.S she just might not be ready to stop. Who knows how bad her husband is.
Not evreything is black and white.
