Hello everyone. This is day 11!!! Who would have thought. I think the worst of the w/d symptoms are gone. Still no energy, but today I have felt really good.
I cannot remember having a good day, without pills. I am sure all of the recovering addicts know the feeling, but I swear, this is the first day I have truley felt like I can live my life without the pills. I never thought this day would come.
Thanks again to everyone who has helped me along the way. I will attend the 10:30pm NA meeting tonight. NO EXCUSES.
I even sorted my laundry out, and am getting ready to wash socks before I pick the kids up from daycare. I can't believe it. I will have clean socks again!!!
Thanks.

Thank you Tina. It makes me feel so good when I get responses to my posts. You are the only people who understand what I am going through. But I am a little worried about the felling of wanting the pills. I still have a refill on the vicoprofen 7.5's in january, and I can't get myself to call the pharmacy and have them remove it. So that scares me. But as far as today, I think I might even try to clean my house a little. The first time since I stopped the pills.
Another thing is I just bought Spider Man 2, for my son (and for me. lol), and I am really looking forward to watching it with him.
It's crazy. I am actually feeling sort of good - without the pills. Finally some enjoyment.
Again, thanks for the post.

Brit you have to call right now.....yes now and cancel that refill. This is so important, you can not delay at all. It will be to easy to run there when something bad happens.
Please if not for yourself do it for your family.

Britney, I know the feeling of not wanting to cut off all contact. It's so final! But do it! I did and I felt so good afterward! My "new" life had finally begun! You know that you can feel good without pills, so just do it. I know that you are strong enogh, look how far you've already come! 11 days!!! WOW! The cravings for pills will come and go, just make the decision now to not give in to it. I know exactly how you feel. It took me a little while to cut off that final "contact"....he called ME and I simply told him that I don't do that anymore....that was it. And it felt GOOD! I still want pills, But I know that I just can't. I know that I am an addict and that I would never stop at just one, two,etc....I've been following your posts and you are so strong and I am so happy that you've done it! CONGRATS!! Love, jess
Britney,
Good for you! Enjoy the movie. Call the pharmacy. You need to burn the bridges for good. Have a great weekend!

Chances are pretty good that you'll use if you leave that prescription at the pharmacy. You're not now or will be then, that strong. There's nothing more empowering than taking control of your recovery and YOU deciding that you don't want to leave something like that up to chance. Call the pharmacy and tell them that you are requesting the script be canceled because you are a recovering addict. They will respect you and you will respect yourself.

Thank you for the support. The pharmacy is a small one, downtown. (of course I have about 20 dirferent pharmacies I use to use), and I am not sure if they are open tomorrow. I know the close early, so I will "try" tomorrow to cancel that refill. It is in a way sad, because I know that is my last chance to have more, without having to really work for them. In the back of my mind, I am thinking, how can a small bottle of pills hurt me??? But the other part of me knows better.
So, thank you, and I will definitaly try.
And by the way, I tried to watch the movie with my son, but he kept freaking out every time Dr. Octopus came on TV. lol. I didn't want to keep forwarding the movie, so I told him when he was ready to watch the whole thing, to let me know. And I turned it off. - He has not asked to watch it again. I think I will wait for my hubby, then maybe we can watch it tomorrow. (my son is only 4)
thanks again
