CANT GET PAST DAY 3

To anyone who reads this and following my story, I can't get past day three. I know where I want to be, that i want to be clean but I fail EVERYTIME. DAY 3 is the hardest and when your in between fear and sobriety its rough. I made a step further and called the outpatient help center to get info on it but yesterday I got paid, in the middle of the night I made the stupid desicion to fall back again. Addiction is not a game and for anyone that is confused and Dont know what to do seek all the help you can get!! From the person you trust the best to professional help I tried cold turkey from 10 one day to none the next and relapsed took 4 one day and none the next I can't say that's an excuse or its right or wrong so to hopefully not make withdraws terrible and my mental state worse in this I have what I have and it will be the last bit I buy. I will settle for what i have and cut down daily and when I'm out, I'm out. Even though your still on them will outpatient help you get off? Anybody know?

Drake, I read your post but haven't read the reply posts so if I re-state something please understand. I had several day 3's where I just couldn't take it anymore so I went back out to the Land Of Oxy's not to be confused with the Land of Oz!!lol. I did the same thing you are doing and I'm here to say you can get clean and you can be free of drugs. I would suggest that you go into a detox facility to get over the physical nightmare. You would spend between 3 to 6 days in a safe facility where they will take care of you and it makes the detox process a million times easier. I did this and it saved my life. after detox I went through an Intensive 6 week Out Patient Program and it was totally worth it. I could still go to work (except for the detox time) and people at work did not need to know a thing. If you follow up and take the outpatient classes serious you can live a clean happy drug free life. You need to get into some type of long term program like NA or AA. There are other programs that could also be helpful like SmartRecover. Whatever works best for you is the best thing to do. I have had so many day 3's to only be so sick of being sick I went back to the instant hollow solution which was a Diet Coke and an 80 mg oxy. I've been clean and sober since 3/13/13 and that is the most important date in Big Dad's History. You can be free from the chains of addiction. Get yourself into a detox center and get your life back brother. Peace, BD

Sarbie, can drake "legally" be a drug addict, or "legally" get them from the doctor to take, not as prescribed?  Sometimes the means to an end can be overlooked.
