DTL,
You are stronger than you think you are. You really can do this. You have to suffer a little bit to get where you want to be. You can make it friend. You need to cut off your source. It is a relapse waiting to happen. Trust me. If you know you can get it, you will. I really want you to suceed. Post often. I have to travel a lot this month but will be here as much as I can to help you. There are so many people who have been where you are and will jump in for advice. Remember, one is too many and one thousand is not enough. Stay clean.

DTL,

OK - not good thing to pop the Roxy -- do not beat yourself up - many of us have been there ......but as you say it is "only a bump" - ok - let's just keep it at "a bump" ----- and to make sure you do not turn it into a "wrong turn" - with just a bump - you go over it - take the rattle and continue on your way - a wring turn WILL GET YOU LOST!

So my friend - we will never judge you and still love you - but get right back on that horse - that is what you came here for and we are here to for you!

Melinda is so right - next time you get the urge - and there will be a next time - get on here - we will talk you out of it - this is a powerful forum and it works - it really works - you my friend can be clean REAL SOON - you cannot imagine the feeling of the FREEDOM from drugs - with time - that feeling becomes our new HIGH!

HUGS TTT

DtoLive:
You will not have some urges - you will have A LOT of urges.
Be VERY careful.
This is where you need your support group the most.
This is where relapse has ALWAYS happened to me (not to say it will happen to you). We begin to fell good, and that "bad" thinking starts to creep back.

Very proud that you have made it through w/d - that is the easy part.
Now you have to put a plan in place to stay clean.

Best of Luck

DTL,

Mottam and Caught Again are SOOOOOOOOOO right - THIS IS WHERE THE WORK BEGINS! ......I cannot tell you how many times after the WD that I tried to rationalize using again - at first I was grateful for getting through the WD - but then - you start to think - "Oh well - is I just used on weekends - or every other day - or maybe just one more time - or I will just keep it under control - THIS TIME" All of that is just the addiction screaming at you - c'mon - just one...........----- do not cave in - I guarantee you - the euphoria you "might" feel from the drugs will last hours and THEN you will realize the mistake you have made - read my post about what happened - when I HAD to take one lousy percocet - due to kidney pain - I held off as long as I could - my blood pressure was skyrocketing - so I took ONE LOUSY PILL - and I felt AWFUL - really really bad - no "high" feeling at all - just an incredible urge to take more - (which I fought off) my WD symptoms returned with a vengence for the next 3 days -so I kind of was forced into what a relapse might look and feel like - IT WAS FRIGHTNING - and I do not wsh it on anyone -


As far as support goes - try an NA meeting - now realize I am the LAST person in the world who would have EVER considered it - I have now been to 5 meeting in 7 days and I can tell you it will change your life - just go and listen - just listen - the NA site has a meeting search - and just find the time - find the place - take a deep breath and walk in - sit down and listen - really listen - think of it as being a spectator in traffic court - seems less scary that way - there is no pressure to share - or speak at all - but just going and knowing that you are in another room with folks that truly understand you is uplifting - and reassuring - you are not alone - others truly care for you and about you - I was SO SCARED to walk in that first meeing and now I look forward to it! Give it a go - just one meeting .....


Caught Again - Thnaks so much for the kind words - and thank you EVEN more for being there for ME!! Could not have done it without you and this forum! BRAVO to YOU, my friend! TTT

Dying to Live,

I don't normally come in a say anything. But, there was something about your story that really pulled on my heart strings. My son walked in your shoes for 4 years before he looked for help.

With me being a Mom and looking at what it is like having a child like you, I can tell you from first hand experience. It is hard~!!

YOU have taken the first step already. YOU have ask and reached out for help~!!

I would like to personally thank you for being in service and helping protect our country so that all the rest of us can have our rights and freedom~!!

Walk proudly and ask God to walk with you.

Hugs & Blessings,
