I just counted the pills and now I'm scarred this is all new to me I did this last month and ended up taking one last dose but then I made it -9 days and relapsed I need to get rid of the supply from my Dr I'm getting all worked up which is what this disease wants so I take a pill O God someone please help. I need to get through an hour and he will be here.

Go to the top of the page and hit the orange "Post A Question" button like you did before. If you need help, give a yell.

I want to say thank you to all of you who have sent me private messages you know who you are. You have saved me from feeling like a moral issue your compassion and complete understanding made it possible for me to flush the pills. A lot of people on this thread have gotten emotional and have had no patience and I get that too. This disease kills and I could be one of the lives it takes but not today. Thanks and please be here through this week of withdrawal.

Sharon, see what else you need for the Thomas Recipe and get to the store now and get it. Also get some Gatorade in the house and maybe some Bananas and soup that you like. The idea here is to set yourself up for success. So before you start to feel the withdrawal get everything you will need. You CAN do this!

Stick around here and ask questions as you go along. Best of luck.

I flushed the pills and now I'm really scared not sure I have enough of what I need from the Thomas recipe but it will have to do. Honestly I have never flushed before always given them to someone my hands were shaking paced for hours then watched them go down the drain. All I could think while I prayed was that was going to be your life and not the pills. I never would have made it today if I didn't flush them.

Hi Sharon,,dont you see that God is helping you,,he is leading you in the path of this forum and placing all of us in your life to help support you. You have to do your part as well,,listen to Him closely he is giving you this oppurtunity. Take it. Jump off that sinking boat and start swimming to safe waters,,He will see you thru this,,I promise. You can do this,,but honestly i dont think you are ready to quit. The addiction is messing with your brain saying,,one more day-give me one more day. You have to challenge that and say "F*ck NO!! Im not giving you one more day!" If you dont so this on Sunday,,you never will. Thats just the reality and you'll be here again months from now or weeks. Dump the pills Sharon. God is telling you the time is now,,you may not get another oppurtunity. I wish you the best !~Bkitty

sharon - there is no time like the present.  I am so afraid that Sunday will  come and you'll start promising "tuesday".  And at that point, you won't want to post here because you won't meet the deadline you set here.  There is no time like the present.  And the sooner you get started, the sooner you get well.

Why are you waiting?  I don't understand.

I'm not good with the threads I'd like to only have one but the heading is wrong. Wish I stayed the path at 5 days. The plan is Sunday when I have all the supplies. Thank you for your support. Yes I feel like a moral issue. I'm praying every minute. God please help me. I hate myself right now so much right now.

A moral issue? What are you talking about?

You have another thread going on the forum. It's more recent than this one; it's from Dec.11th. On that thread you said you were stopping on Thursday (yesterday) and now you're saying Sunday...that's what I'm talking about.

I wish you all the best and I'm sure you mean what you say. Keep in touch!

Vicki  you feel planning my detox is an excuse.? Then I must really be a moral issue   I've never flushed or planned to flush or cut off my supply before and that is progress. I only know one way to kick the Thomas recipe.thanks for your support I know you're trying to help. Sunday is the day.

Sharon- I notice you're putting this off again.  If you're "all in", you'll start this today. No more excuses!

I'm flushing what I have left on Sunday I'm getting the stuff I need to kick tomorrow. I'm so glad you are doing well. Sorry about your depression. If you can try and look at from where I sit at least you have true emotions as painful as they can be you can feel. I'm still in the addiction stage wishing I were where you are. You are in my prayers.

You are right I just spoke to my friend in program and Sunday is the day I am getting all the stuff for the Thomas recipe and I'm flushing any pills I have left and calling the Dr with my friend on Monday and cutting off my supply I am a cancer patient but I don't need these pills and there will always be pills but I can't take them and Im going to a meeting later today then when I'm a bit stronger I'm going to tell my family. That is my plan today and tomorrow I'm going to maintain and only take enough to not be sick and Sunday I start a new journey with no pills and no supplies I believe flushing what I have left will empower me as I have heard and calling the Dr will feel great I will know I'm All In. Thank you all I know you will continue to support me.

Yes, I agree with everyone.

And sharon - a week is NOT long enough to give yourself the chance to feel better.  It takes longer than that and you have to, I mean HAVE to cut off your supply.  Remember, that one step can lead to a better life.  What will it take for you to be ready?  You know everyone here will support you but it's even more important to get that support in your "real" life.  That means meetings, or therapy, or inpatient or outpatient rehab.  This won't work until you want it more than breathing.  Seriously - it's time!  :)

Hey Sharon,How are you?  It wasn't that much but close enough.150-200
I am doing well.I will have 90 days tomorrow.I want to use alot but I don't listen to that voice.
How I did it was this...I had no money for food or anything else.I stayed in for days.I cut off all of my supply(that is the main thing).After about ten days I could then do some minimal things.It's really just as simple as do not take any pills.It really is.That and time.I also have depression and have for years but that is nothing compared to p[ost withdrawal depression.I,like you was clean for a long span before I relapsed.You can do it.Just keep fighting.And you will get there.

OMG how did you do it did you cold turkey from 250 mg? How are you doing now. You are on my prayers. I'm trying to get there very close to all in I know if I keep posting and reading I will get there this will be my 3rd try in2 months and in Gods world nothings wasted I know for sure that once I get maybe a week or 10 days I'm going to tell my family and come clean in meetings or I won't make it. Gods will for me is to be sober and I have been so graced to have had so much sober time in the past 25 years. I can't thank you all enough sharing your experiences helps so much. Since I was diagnosed with cancer and knew I was in trouble I've been lurking here and in the past 2 hrs I've tried to fight this alone and I know I can't I need the fellowship and the program. I was with my friend today who has 31 years sober and I will tell her first. Have no idea how I've been able to hose this but I know for sure I'm going to end up dead or worse the walking dead. Living this lie is not living.
