Hey all,
First of all
THANKS!!!!!!! for all of the help and encouragement yesterday. I got myself out of my office and nice and busy on the shop floor and by the end of the day I was much better. Woke up this morning and the cravings were gone. Got to work this morning and called every possible pharmacy I could think of and canceled everything.
I don't know why I wasn't thinking about the Suboxone and using (yeah I do, my addict brain was "forgetting for me") but I REALLY don't want to get some Hydrocodone and then get SICK 'cause I relapsed. How stupid would that be???
Thanks again. I am reminded of something my Grandfather used to say to my mother and then us grandkids as we got older......
This too shall pass....
Thanks a million, I am really glad to have found this place. Now I'm off to a meeting (AA, not NA, but I guess I'll try it).
peaceout

I didnt post yesterday but I did read your post...Do you realize what a BIG step you took for yourself by calling the pharmacies???You should feel very proud! I know that cannot be easy at all.
As for the AA/NA meeting if you feel it helps thats great,if not dont feel discoraged.There are other avanues.Such as private therapy & such.
Just know you'll have days that you feel GREAT other times you'll crave & feel down right crappy.Know thats all normal & just part of the process.
Your addiction may try to trap you up & make you think YOU need it when truley its the other way...the ADDICTION needs you....I know seems like Im actually talking about a human when I say addiction but Ill tell you to me it has at times FELT like an abusive lover trying to keep control
Keep up the good work.....

Good going DJ,first for making it through the day,and now realising you "can" make it through.And secondly...cancelling all your sources,thats no longer a noose around your neck.Good going!!!!!~KIM
You said yesterday that you were going to cancel the pharmacies, did you?
Don't let too much more time go by. Get it over with and start working on your life.
Glad you're feeling better today Johnny. I think it just goes to prove that Sub is not the magic cure that some think it is.
Take care

cowgirl thats what he said he DID call & canceled .
Got to work this morning and called every possible pharmacy I could think of and canceled everything.
Nobody as far as I know EVER says Sub is a magic cure.If anything I see more than anything people saying its a tool.
For those of us who are on it...it can feel wonderful to have the chance to put our lives together without cravings & such.

Didn't read that part of the post correctly.
This was his response on his other thread...
I got myself busy here at work for the day and took my mind off of it. I will call and start canceling the scripts.....

Yeah I suppose I can see how you would see it as he hasnt but Honest though I may not know him Im so proud he did that.
I remember telling my Dr to put into my file about not only Ultram but all opiates...a part of me honestly(back then)felt like I was betraying the pills.So I realize just how much it took for him to do that.
He seems as if he is doing much better than yesterday & whether it be meeting or private therapy I know he'll get that extra support that we ALL NEED

Hi all,
Goota clear this one up...I posted last night before I left work on yesterdays thread that I would begin calling pharmacies to cancel.
Today I got to work and I DID call and cancel them.
Thanks for all of the kind words. It really helps.
I think that Sub is a tool. I know we can all wish for a magic cure, but I know there is none. Sub is a tool like this board and therapy and meeting, etc.
Oh,and I am in personal therapy. Out patient at the hospital rehab center. That one helps the most. I am very impressed with my therapist, he takes NO bs from me........
Thanks again for all of your concern and help. I will cash in on it again soon, I am sure!!!!!
P.S. What are morning GOOS?
peaceout

Once I realized the drugs/alcohol weren't the problem, that I was the problem I did find the solution in the 12steps....
I hope you enjoy your meeting....get with Tim and Reddog, they both work an awesome recovery program....
Take care,
Stacey
Goos was a mispelling for Good along time ago.someone started a Good Morning post just to hang together & sort of wake up together with(like a coffee group)All are welcomed.Sometimes we talk recovery or just silly things but alot of people seem to like starting thier day that way.Heck I know I LOVED IT & still do its just Ive gotten very busy these days.
Feel free to pop in & just see what its like.It may be for you or you may not like it either way its an open post to all.

Stacey....Im confused a bit here so please know Im just looking to understand.You said the addiction wasnt the problem you were.Do you mean that there were certain things about YOU that brought the addiction out(past or something)Again Im only looking to understand as Ive learned that YES Im an addict now Im trying to learn WHY it happened.
Detroit.......Awesome my man.I know it was tough but after taking that kind of action it will just solidify your resolve to do the next step.I'm really glad to hear you making that meeting.Give it a chance too.It may take you three of four times before things start clicking.
Sometimes it's easy to get stuck on that first hurdle.Stopping the drugs.There is so much more to this than that.It's about a complete overhaul of our thinking.Somewhere along the line we developed this hole inside of us that kept needing to be filled.The program will start tackling some of those issues.
You will wake up with a new freedom that words can't describe.
I never could imagine a life where I wouldn't need to alter my concious in some way.It does happen.You begin to discover all these new passions and dreams inside of you that have been kept in a prison.You now will have the opportunity to really start seeing the person you always wanted to be.
Thanks for sharing this today.I can't tell you how excited I am for you.You will meet some people just like you.Let the miracle happen.
