How Many Pills Have You Not Taken?

Pain Pills

Here's something kind of interesting to think about: Although I've only been Hydro free for two months, if I was still using I would have taken about 500+ pills in that time. It feels kind of cool to know I saved my body from those 500+ pills in the last 2 months. Of course if I think of how many I took in the 2 years before that it's SCARY.

Hey don't say it like you ONLY have 2 months. 2 months is GREAT..Give yourself more credit... I am sure your liver is thanking you for stopping the pain pills. Keep up the good work and congrats on you 2 months clean time. Rae

Thanks Rae, I GREATLY appreciate that. Indeed I do feel VERY good about my clean time. I consider it very valuable and won't trade it away for a few pills ever again. All the best to everyone.

Dear Green,
I try not to dwell on what could have been and focus on what is now. If I keep thinking about the pills before you know it I will longing for them.
But I understand what you mean!! All the best......Shel

Lets see...I was taking Oxycodone 15mgs (Percocet w/o tylenol) Im at day 24 so 24 x 9 a day = 216 oxys not taken...not to mention at least 144 100mg morphines I havent taken in those 24 days. so grand total of pills not taken by me in the last 24 days is 360.

Damn thats also 1800 bucks I could have made if I wanted to make someone else miserable. But I wouldnt sell one to my worst enemy.

So, vegas..if you could have sold them, does that mean you still have them? If so, why?

Just for the heck of it, I couldn't resist adding this up. I have not taken 2,940 pills, give or take fifty.
Wow, that kind of made me feel good.
Love, Kat

That math is easy, 10 months= 2400 pills = $14,400...Quitting saved my life and my wallet.

Hey, you-all, its Jlo..and I kinda go back& forth in forums...I started using pain meds oxys, vikes, perks..whatever.then used h (sniffed) for awhile..

So, you talk about how many pills, I look @ the money. I ended up doing 3 bags a day....20$ a bag. So 60 (at least) a day...I HAD 6 months clean = 10,800$
Is that incredible? Anyhow, I had 6 month clean, went on a 1 1/2 - 2 week bing & back on rivea (obiate blocker) for ...um 3 weeks, I am not counting Because this is my life now, no need to count, im in it for the long haul..I FEEL BETTER THAN I EVER HAVE IN MY LIFE! You can check some of my previous posts after my 2 week binge & read my pain & suffering...I was always a party girl..pills? loved them..then too expensive so went to h...it is a nightmare. ALL OF IT. and
I give you all so much praise...we are all the same..good people who made bad choices..we f***ed up...does not mean we have to stay "there"...

I am proof positive...Someone turned the light on...I look @ the sky, I have a spring in my step...I put make-up on..I really CARE how I look. I dont skirt seeing people I know...Im proud of me!

Jlo....that is so awesome. Congrats on getting your life back! I like what you said about putting your make-up on...I have never in my life left this house without make-up until I went through w/d's. Of course I didn't leave the house so there was no reason to wear make-up but I lost myself and how I cared. It's nice to be back...

let's see, i have a little bit over 4 months, I'd say I saved myself about $2400 or 48 grams of coke....had to revise, cause it sounded really low...

Dear Cowgirl,

I KNOW is it wonderful or what? When I was using, I thought I was "social" ...but again the drugs lie..lie they do..I was NOT social..I would go get the "stuff" (with my baby in the car..nice?) go home...do it..and get stupid...
Sometimes I would not have my teeth brushed until after noon...baseball hat on,
and I would look @ my eyes...pinned...glassy...f***.

BEING HIGH FUKING SUCKS...IT IS A MIND f***...!

Please..hate to sound so angry but I am! I am mad @ the drugs...

They sucked 4 years of my life...

But I am back, and back I will stay...One step @ a time.

Pease to you
Jennifer

Great question... I've been clean for 156 days. In the end, I was taking about 25 norcos. But since this is a progressive disease, I'd probably be taking at least 30 by now, if not more. But to be conservative, 25 x 156 = 3900 pills not taken. And in the end, I was paying about $1 a pill, depending on the O.P. I ordered from. That's about $4k I've saved! Being clean rules!

Oh my. here I Calif. my g/f has been paying $5 a pill for vico's........... at maybe 10 or so a day.......50 X 7 days. 350 a week X a month...$1400 a month if not more.OMG how scary that is.............thank goodness I was only paying $5 a month for my script..............oh wait...$10 a month when I was taking 200 vicos a month.........cheap high for me........but still have no desire now........I can't imagine anyone wanting to go back thru wd after going thru it once..........thats why I know I won't pop the pain pills again
