am i a hypocrit?

[oxygirl487]

I recieved an email over christmas from someone who ,from what i can tell,has never evn posted on here that said i was a hypocrit....even though i got alot of emails sayig u guys were soproud of me and wishing me a great holiday,which i thank u for,that 1email has stuck in my mind....why do i sometimes let one persons opinion bother me so much?I know mostly all u guys dont feel that way but that one sentence has almost caused me to relapse in a very bad way.....ive taken 3 percosets out of a whle bottle......3 in over a week.....ive never really went into detail about my pain level and maybe thats why that person thought that.....i dont know guys.....im just hoping u all dont feel that way.....and if u do them maybe i am a hypocrit.....i just wanted u guys to know this and its why i havent been posting much......im not asking anyone to justify my taking 3 pills ...i guess im just asking how can u be strong and just not let little things like that get to ya?

for someone to call you a hypocrite i dont think they understand addiction at all, they are very wrong and i think if you dont have something nice to say dont say nothing at all, how can anyone think that telling you that is going to help you, i think that is the only point of this forum is reaching out to others for help not to criticize people, which alot do on here, maybe they are just in a bad mood who knows, no one really knows who you are or where you are going in this ocean of chaos, and they need to keep their opinions to themselves, i think you a great person, yes you may have relapsed, but we all know you want to quit deep down, so i would tell whoever called you that to go F*** theirselves if it where me

YOUR NOT A HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!
IM HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED ME
BE STRONG!!!!

You can block the sender & or just delete the message. I can't believe somebody did that.
There was a guy back in the early 1900s that was an amazing man of God. He said as he saw a person lying in the ditch wasted "Except by the grace of God, there be I"
We can't judge others. We can offer support and love to give each other the strength needed to make it. You are going to succeed.

Pay them no mind, they apperently don't know you situation or they would not of called you a hypocrite. Sorry to hear about you husbands friend, to have that happen and still stay away from the pills is a very strong individual.Hope your christmas was good, maybe for a New Years Resilution(correct spelling?) we all go with "Try to be STRONG" Good luck to all in the upcoming new year!!!!

If I got upset about every negative message I got, I would not be here. Unless, it is obscene or insulting (which needs to be reported), then ignore it. It is only one person. You have great support here hun.

i am doing great physically and mentally.  i don't really crave, but i do have thoughts...something wil trigger and i think oh, i wish i had, but i immediately stop and focus on something else.  seems to be working for me right now.  i haven't gone through anything major, so i when that hits we will see.  physically i have never felt better.  after 7 days all was good.  i have never been one to suffer with emotional stuff and other ppl don't really affect me so i guess i am lucky.  i did have to take a loratab 2 days before christmas for a sever migraine, but i took one and that was it...maybe i am a hypocrite too, lol

atleast you have a reason to use the pills. My only reason was the high. I feel like scum sometimes when I see people on here with a real reason for taking pain pills and I just use them for recreation. Your a good person with alot of knowledge to share with others that are using so don't let one person who is probably afraid to admit there probelm bother you.

[oxygirl487]

thanks....maybe they just wanted to **** me off....worry the horns off a billy goat   lmao   thats a good one......its just that after i read it the addict inside me was like "well u know they all feel thatw ay about u so just take more" u all know how it is......im very proud of myself and everyone on here......i know i cant say im clean but i can say im clean from oc's......im also very proud of my husband.....his friend was killed 2days b4 christmas and he hasnt touched a pill....i guess i shouldnt have posted that but i just wanted u guys to know why i hadnt been posting i had gt alot of emails asking why i hadnt....so i thought i owed an explanation....love u...

[cathy5841]

3 pills in a week is not abuse.  you are taking them for the unbearable pain you are facing and that is what they are for.  as long as you use them resposibly (and it seems you are) don't let other ppl bother you.  it is your addiction telling you to use more because of the post, you are wise not to listen.  just know in my efforts to get vlean you were a big help with the post you were making and i for one am missing you.  by the way i 42 days clean.  keep on the right track girl you are doing great.

dont worry about that hun...i think sometimes people log on just to make rude comments to people to upset them, and then they are never heard from again...i have seen it happen often and at all forums.  dont let one insignificant person get to you.
i dont know your story, so i cant really comment on that, but try to let it roll off your back and stick to the people that you know are here for you for support.
but i DO understand what your saying...it is upsetting when that happens, but just try to remember the ones that are here to help and give support and forget that e-mail....dont let it bother you to a point of relapse, its not worth it..

just know that if its not true, then leave it behind. I have the same problem my grandmaw always said "I WOULD WORRY THE HORNS OFF A BILLY GOAT"  never really knew what it ment except I worried way to much.

Everyone has god and bad days, some people dont have anyone to take their bad days out on, so they do it in the wrong ways. sounds like what could have happen to you. Shake it off.
