I slipped up....help

[jessiekauai]

I was doing so well, but I slipped up and bought 1 loratab 10 today and took it. I feel like such a failure. I know that my usual dosage would be well over 100 pills per week, but I still feel bad. My anxiety was through the roof. I kept rocking in the rocking chair. My other symptoms weren't that bad, but the anxiety brought me to tears. How many people do this?

Thanks for posting to my thread crazy68! I am going the tapering route! I would like to help u because I have been successful in getting off other drugs (speed) so I could help you while I am doing my tapering! I love this forum it has helped me a great deal with what I went through the last weekend! I made it to the three day mark of cold turkey but slipped! The mind is the hardest thing for me to concours I hate the physiologic effects but I can deal better with them than the mental ( anxiety attacks)! Good luck and let's get back to how we were before the drugs!!

Thank you so much for the kind words. If you want to continue to follow me, I'll get back on my original post. I've never been in this kind of forum, so it's taking a little getting used to. I'm getting back on track tomorrow. I'm going to try to do something positive with my money on Friday. Like get my hair did...lol. It's been so long since I've pampered myself. Maybe a new tattoo. Again, thank you all so much, and keep me in your prayers. Not only do I have this addiction to beat, but now we have a tropical system in the gulf. I live in Louisiana at the very bottom of the boot, as they like to say. We surely don't need a storm here, because we have already been hit hard with the oil spill.

Sorry meant to say sister!

Brother I am right there with you I was doing so good until I found out that I had an interview and the anxiety took over, I thought I was going to die, I kept walking back and forth in front of the place where I had an interview, I must have looked like a crackhead! I went to my car and searched my car to see if I had a pill much to missfortune, I found a 30 mg oxycodone, I took it and actually was so out if my mind I chewed it! I did well on my interview but I feel as though I lost the addiction battle! I am going to taper down from here on out! If I can't do that then my sister said I can stay at her place for a week and she will help me while I go through withdrawals, I have told her every trick in the book that I will use to get the Oxys so don't fall for them! Do u have anybody that would be willing to help u like my wonderful sister is willing to do! I think it is soich better if u have support! I know u and I can beat this! I have beaten the addiction to speed 15 years ago, but this is such a different animal! Keep posting! U can do it!!!!
