Well Nick30, you are very condesending,
" if you want to be an addict then by all means take the pills and clean your house. perhaps tomorrow you could take some pills and clean your car. etc. "
And for the record I NEVER said that ANYONE was being rude, I said that I was frustrated!
It was just a question and I DID NOT throw anything in ayones face !!! I was quick to remind everyone that I appriciate thier time, and advice, but that I was desperate for an answer!
Kim715, I wish that it was just a little dust on some furniture. It is so much more than that. Like I said it is laundry, bathrooms, dishes, floors, etc... You have no idea!!!
Gosh, I feel so misunderstood...
Nevermind guys...
I am so very sorry if I was rude to anyone, I was just being honest! I thought that honesty was a very important part of recovery!
Thanks for your time, I wish you all well in your recovery!!!!!!!
The members who commented were trying to give you some answers,just not the one your addictive brain was searching for.Lesa and Mary laid it out for you though because they know no matter what any of us say to you the choice is yours to make.If you're going to do it nothing any of us say to you is going to convince you otherwise,not from what you're saying.Like Mary said a dirty house won't kill you but the pills will.It's not the w/ds that you should be so worried about,but those 3 kids who need their mom.What do you think is more important to them,dust on the furniture or a clean mom whos going to be around to watch them grow up?I really hope you chose not to take that dose.
you are just making excuses for yourself. you are still addicted. if you want to be an addict then by all means take the pills and clean your house. perhaps tomorrow you could take some pills and clean your car. etc.
you are being rude to ppl, not vice versa. eveyone above is concerned for you, nothing more. and you just throw it back in thier faces.

No, you won't have full blown, but probably some minor symptoms. Your not alone in your thinking. This is a very common train of thought when first getting clean......."maybe I can just take them occasionally to get some things done". I know I had that thought many times and learned the hard way. It seemed getting my house clean wasn't enough. I had to take more to pull weeds, clean the garage etc. Sorry if we came off harsh. We just didn't want you to make a very common mistake. I recommend cleaning your house in shifts.......clean , take a break, clean, take a break. I think most us addicts expect to much of ourselves too quickly. We've done a lot of damage and it takes time to heal. Just remember a dirty house won't kill you but the pills will.
I love and appriciate you all so much... However I am sometimes so frustrated by the lack of an actual answer from you guys! I mean, think back all of you to the throws of your addiction... sometimes, didn't you just need answers?????
I sometimes wish that all of you would just asnswer me, without just saying the same things over and over again!!
I just wanted to know from a physical point of view after one week clean if I took a dose would it send me back into full blown withdrawls? Just a simple question!!!!!
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I do appriciate all of your advice so much!!
