Hey buddy,
How are you doing? You were posting days, which is great, but I haven't heard from you since the day before yesterday. Are you okay?

Congratuatlions! It's great that you know not to listen to that voice. It will come and go and it will continue trying to trick you in to trying just 1 pill but like IBK said, 1 will never be enough and it will set you back to the beginning. Learned that the VERY hard way and the VERY not fun way. Continue living this great sober free life, each day becomes better too.
Yep going to meetings have a sponsor and have been working the steps. I've been in recovery since 2007. Was on these pills for a number of injuries and surgeries. I have a huge support network and am so grateful for them. Trudging the road to happy destiny.
1 is too many and 1,000 is never enough. If you take that one pill it will drive you right back to using and it gets harder eve you detox.
Going to meetings is great. Did you get a sponsor? Will you be working the steps? Get involved and listen, listen, listen. Those cravings don't go away. I am coming up on 8 years clean and I still get them. Yeah, they are whispering voices at this point..they used to shout at me very loud. that stuff drove me crazy. The difference now is that I learned how to make the voices leave my head. I learned relapse prevention and dove into learning life skills so when the voices start chatting I tape their mouths...lol
I hope you continue with the meetings and get everything you can get out of them and leave the rest behind. Keep up the goo work and let us know how you are doing.
