hi i dont know who is still on but have a question, as some may know i have not taken anything in 9 days went c/t because at that time i had to, managed to get thru it and it was not as bad as i had it planned in my head, prior to c/t i so desperately wanted to stop but was so afraid of the w/d's that i would not do it, then came here heard about sub. and knew this was my way out. Well there was a waiting list and so forth. So i again i ended up stopping on my own and with the help of so many of you on this board. my problem is i would have been clean for 12 days. but my "best friend' left me a "gift" in my mailbox three days ago 20 vic's. I started taking them i have 9 left so i did alot better then i thought. Now today i get a call from the doc. he is ready for a new pt. to begin the sub. program tom. should i go? i am thinking no, that i will throw these away now. and start all over, do you think the w/d's will be bad again. Not that i can't handle them but i don't want my husband to know i was using again, he has been so proud of me and so supportive i don't want to disappoint him. any ideas out there. and i read some of your posts to the singlemom and you guys are so right the w/d's in your head are by far the worse.

if you only took 11 of the 20 then your w/d should not be bad at all.. but that is only a guess... but dont let the fear get to you....
as far as choosing sub or not ....that is your call.. you have read enough to know my opinion of that one... but if you are going to do sub.. i think you must be clean for 24 hours ....
what ever happens good luck and God bless....
and btw.... I am glad someone see my point about the mental fear really does make the w/d worse if you let your mind run rament...thanks for that...

I personally couldn't tell you if you will still have bad withdrawl symptoms. I kind of doubt it. You had 9 days and now took 11 pills. Well all you can do now is just quit taking them pick yorself up and try again. As for sub well I am sure you read my views on it as well. It is a personal choice but I can tell you I went through a vicodin withdrawl Aug of 2003 and was clean til April 2004 and I survived it without sub. It takes a liitle while for your energy to get back to normal but it really isn't anything you can't handle, I am sure. Keep your chin up and try again... Rae
i am really not interested in the sub, but i wonder if i am just able to stop on my own. I did really good for a few days then the opp. came and i used so quickly after wanting to be clean for so long.

when opportunity came.... do you know now what you should have done...
CALLED YOUR SPONSOR...
left them right there and told your hubby to get them away.... (btw.. he would have been soooo proud of you.... )
then called you 'friend' and told them to NOT do that again...
but if you know now... so you learned.... let it go and start over... we all get tempted... and most of us relapse at least once... that is way we should never get tempted sooo early.... we just dont have the tools yet...

I agree, call your friend and tell them NOT to do that again, if they do, they are not a true friend anyway.
tom,

Tracy,
I think you' d be fine without the sub, you've already proved that you can do it physically, but your mental cravings got the best of you and you relapsed. It happens.I agree with Teresa, call yourt sponsor or someone you can talk to if this kinda thing happens again. You had to know it wasn't the thing to do, taking those pills, in the back of your head some where, so call someone or come to the board next time you're tempted.
Dust yourself off and chin up...
