Help needed! On day 4

[Stungbythebee]

I've never posted but have been reading for months. I'm on day 4 cold turkey from 30-45mg Percocet a day. Haven't had too bad symptoms but I feel like I'm carrying a 2 ton weight when I try to get up to do anything! Just hoping for some encouragement.

Hi Stung....I am new to the forum and just read all of your thread. I don't yet feel like the right person to give advice but I do want to send you my love for your struggles.

If you read your last couple posts...can you remember how good you felt? Okay. So this is Day #1. I honestly don't know what NA or others would say but my first thought would be....If you didn't swallow them all flush them. Come clean to your sister! Hold yourself accountable. And then forgive yourself and start Day 1. All we have is now. Learn from your mistake and rememver how lousy you felt in withdrawals. Get to a meeting. Don't let this be the reason you go back to regular using.

Now maybe someone with more experience or wisdom will correct me or give better words. We are here!! I think you need to admit what you did in order to not to it agsin. And it was a big step to admit it here!!!

WELL, I messed up! So embarrassed and ashamed!! I was having terrible cravings and no energy. Went to my sister's house and she had some Percocet in her bathroom. I took 10 of them from the bottle and have taken them all. So today is day one, again, of cold turkey. I thought I was good to go. I had energy, no cravings and going to meetings. Is this PAWS?  I feel so stupid!! I flushed 100 Percocet and end up stealing from my sister!! SOOOO STUPID!!!!!

Hey all. Went to my home NA meeting on Friday and it was great!! I got a standing ovation for flushing my pills!! Crazy!!!  :•}   Also got to spend Saturday with my granddaughters. There is no place better to be than in the company of children. They show you what life is all about without even knowing it!!! Have a good football Sunday!!! God Bless.

Hey Gnarly, thanks so much for your encouraging words. I notice that you are a frequent responder; I hope to be able to be like that someday. I'm sure once I get more time under my belt I'll feel more confident to do so. Sleep is still an issue. I got 2 hours in so far tonight!  :-/   So I'm off to try to get some more. I will check back in, hopefully closer to sunrise!
