Pineknot Has Another Problem...

Pain Pills
1
I just got thru talking to a good friend of mine. I have known him for about 11 years and we go fishing and hunting almost every weekend. I have been avoiding him for the past 7 or 8 days because I am trying to clean up. When he called the first thing he said was that he had a little something for me( we all know what he has.) I told him I was good didn't need anything but he said he would drop by later just to shoot the s***. i guess i should tell him tonite that I'm done but some of me just wants to hide for a little while longer. I'm not sure why I just don't really feel like getting into tonite. What would you guys do?

call him BEFORE he comes over......tell him NOT to bring anything over, tell him what your doing with your life.If hes a friend he wont put you in a postion where your sitting 10 feet away from your DOC right now.

Pine, hate to tell ya bud, but you have got to cut ties... New people, places and things and then that is still not a gaurantee. Don't let this guy come around you, because he sounds like he could be a BIG FAT TRIGGER.

You are right. I'll just tell him that I am trying to quit and not to bring it around me. I don't need the temptation.

Your not lying...then the next time he calls this wont be so hard for you. He will know not to bring it up.

A little suggestion...don't tell him you are TRYING to quit. Tell him you quit. Trying gives you an out. Either you quit or you didn't. I agree with Ali. We have to change people, places and things. Too many using memories.

Hey Travis. There's that part of us that wants to protect our addiction and not cut off all of our sources "just in case". So, you either have quit or you haven't. Do it ALL the way, not just half-a**. Call the dude back before he comes over and tell him the truth. Who knows, you might just be doing him a favor. It's so much easier to get clean and stay clean when you have friends to help you.
