28 Days Clean-but worried about temptation on vacation...

So it's been 28 days clean from the vicodin/percocet addiction. I'm feeling better, improved mood, and such. Now that I don't have my doc's though, I'm finding I get pretty lonely these days. But that isn't the main concern. I'm visiting some friends this weekend, friends who *always* have some sort of doc hanging around, and always willing to share. I don't have any cravings right now but when I get put face to face with it, I'm worried I will cave. Any ideas on how to politely refuse without offending? I haven't been around any narcotics the whole time I've been getting clean, so this is really a big concern for me.

Obviously, I should have just kept this to myself. Now I know next time I should since I'm just going to get rude responses form people. I'm just trying here like everyone else. I am NOT a person to expect the world to change its tune for me. FAR FROM IT.

Look Clean, I'm NOT asking the world to stop for me. What the heck did I post to make YOU think that?!! I'm asking for advice not asking for people to BADGER ME. I think I made it pretty clear that I did NOT expect them to do ANYTHING! So I feel you are out of line here. And your probably just going to keep this going. But seriously. I tried wording it RESPCTING their lifestyle. Last time I wrote this respecting them someone jumped on me about being respectful! Is there anyway I can say things without someone being a smarta**???

Noone is going to laugh lesson.  This isnt funny at all.

I remember when i was using and had someone that was in recovery walked in i could of cared less.  My drugs were what was important.  I had a screw them attitude.  I had no respect for anyone else cuz i had no respect for myself at that time.  You are going to have to stay away from them.  Take care of you as noone else will do it.

This wont set you back to day 1.  Try and calm down.  Just dont put yourself in those situations again.........sara

YOUR recovery is not up to anyone but you. The world is not going to stop because you are in recovery....I know that sounds cruel and it is not meant to be. By continuing to go places where there "might be" drugs you are setting yourself up and putting unrealistic expectations on others. You need to make the changes and stop expecting others to do so.

So I'm complettteellly screwed because I walked into a room full of smoke. People were f*king smoking stupid WEED. I froze for a moment with absolute sheer TERROR, before I realized then BOLTED right the hell out of there. Someone came after me and asked me what was wrong I explained DUH I'm ******* SOBER! THAT is what is wrong! I don't do DRUGS of ANY kind. Been sober 36 days, they said just don't do it I said I won't made that very clear. So I went in the bathroom and, yes this sounds
dumb but, put some tp in my nose so it couldn't get in my system. I went back in 10 minutes later STILLLL smelled, I left again to "get some food." then came back.
So basically I'm freaking out because I am scared ******** this will end up showing it's ugly face on my urine test, which I could get anytime no warning. That's how it works. I'm totalllllyy freaking out. Now I don't need to hear the "I told you so crap" that will not prove useful in any way,shape,or form. I made it CLEAR to this person to NEVER smoke around me again, I wasn't even respectful I was ANGRY about it. I don't want this blown over stupid f*cng weed. PATHETIC! I obviously know not to do that again, but truth be told not like I warned them I was coming or whatever, but I did tell them before I came I can't do that anymore. So it's not like they meant to, and they respect I don't but because I breathed it in it's gonna show up. HELPPPPP! I know people are gonna say well u walked into it shoulda known better blah blah. Yeah, I get that. I just need some info on how this works, I didn't do it so will it show up? Man I'm screwed..some people out there on here will probably laugh about it. Not even sure my addiction recovery thing matters now, does this set me back to freeakin day 1 because of this?
