Hi sweet DJ
I love taking vicoden and oxy's, I have been clean for 60 days today well I did have a beer a couple of weeks ago, does that mean I had relapsed?
Ewwwwwwwwww, someone else wanna take this one.... I afraid that i will answer wrong, but if you go by the 12 Steps then Yeah, you are not suppose to use ANY mind altering drugs...........bad...........
It can lead to other drugs. I would stop all mind altering drugs at once, just to be on the safe side. You don't want to go back to where you came from with the pills.......and it can happen. Alcohol is a gateway drug....

Amen DJ,,,,,,,,those Oxy's are HELL in a bottle.............for real.
I donno. She didnt do her DOC so I don't think that is considered a relapse. I would just be careful though. It makes you want to do your doc or you can cross-addict very easy. So, I don't think you relapsed...JMO
Awesome on the 60 days!
DJ, just hanging...Im feeling lazy today. Need to get to the dds, not feeling well.

Dinglenuts...lol
I thought a relapse is taking something you quit?
Let me rephrase...If a person who was addicted to coke, quit and then had a pain pill? I understand it is abuse that is the factor? Oh hell, Im staying out of this hot topic.
Anyway...what do ya wanna talk about?

Yeah Wendy, but I don't think she takes them like we did.........ya know what I mean.........Hell, I don't know.........that is why i posted to dante or whatever his freaking name is. He's the doctor of the board now.................
Well, I'll recant,,,,,,,,I'm a dinglenut.........but I really thought that you weren't suppose to use mind altering drugs, ya know, ya have a few drinks and do things that you might not do if you had not had the drinks... Make sense.....Like, you might, in an alcohol induced moment take a pill and BAM, it starts up all over again........that is, the original addiction.

No I hear ya Pam..You shouldnt and I dont use any mind altering drugs. But would it be a relapse having a glass of wine? Thats where I dont think so.
Thank you all you are great! I feel like I didn't relapse, but I do know drinking is the gateway to doing other drugs- I've been clean before and beleive drinking is what made me go back to pills. This time being clean it's different, like maybe I want it this time, maybe I lost so much in my life that I realize " What am I doing? " I not a drinking type of person anyway, like I'll drink two-three times a year, thats not something that hard to give up, so I guess its no to drinking.
Yeah, I have to agree with ya on that one. I do like to have a glass of wine every once in awhile. Bet Jeff would love to pipe in on this one.
Very Good Sarah, if it has caused you to relapse or led you to pills in the past then steer clear of alcohol. At least I would........You'll be okay.
I feel sort of the same way.
i took pills for years.
i was up to 20 a day.
i have had a beer here and there over the past 3 years I have been sober.
one at a time.. and half the time I never finished them. They were more of a 'drink' then a buzz.. if that makes sense?
I dont consider that a relapse for ME.. but for someone else, yeah.. it could be that .
I think if someone has had a problem with alcohol before, then definatly.. you need to cash in your 60 day chip and start new.
but.. this is grey area in recovery.. many people feel many diffrent ways

So I don't want to think that I relapsed, but I will not drink anymore. So want to hear the craziest thing. I was so bad on vicoden that I stole a prescription pad to write out my own scrips, so I was taking 30 750mg vics a day, God was there for me cuz I have no idea why I'm not dead.
i did that same thing.
now i have 2 felonies for it.
>sigh<
sucks..

Dam no thank you one's enough, I guess forget my dreams of working for the F.B.I.
