Quitting norcos...again.

[AMS07]

Hello all.  I posted about 2 weeks ago, trying to go CT from norcos.  I went 4 days clean, then came a wedding that I had to attend with my entire family (excuses, I know)....I was still so sick, I ended up using again.  I should be 9 days clean today.  I'm back to trying but it seems too easy for me to lose focus after a few days..  My husband has reached the end of his patience and I no longer have a choice.  I'm back on day 1 and pray that I will make it.

praying is great and surely helps but it comes down to you. you have to go after getting straight, not just wait and let it happen. no joke, it's hard work. find some passion for quitting the pills. and aftercare is vital to staying clean. you will be in my prayers. sway

Hi,

A couple of things...you need to lose the source you are getting the pills from. Second, I think an aftercare program will help you to stay away from the drugs. You need to find out why you keep going to them as an "excuse". Find our why you think you need them to function or to numb yourself or to hide. Whatever it is, get to the bottom of it.

By aftercare I mean counseling and a good solid outside support group.

I hope this time is your last time. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. There is always someone here to talk with and answer any questions you may have.

hi and welcome back.  i am wondering if YOU really want to quit or is your hubby really wanting you to quit.  until you are truely ready you wont succeed.  yes it is hard!!!  very hard, but it can be done.  have you checked into some after care?  na/aa or a therapists can help you learn to keep the focus on your sobriety, but you have to do the work...glad you made your way back here, there is support here, but you really NEED after care.
