My friends i failed... what now?

[duluthguy]

I did it, I was cleaning out my truck and found 2 percocet, I took them so quick I didn't even think about it... I cannot believe I did that... What do I do? I'm just shocked and mortified, 21 days down the tubes... I can't believe I'm even posting this... oh my...

The glass is half full. Congrats. Those tears you talked about set you free. In a week, youll have 30 days clean, one day dirty. Always shoot for perfection but dont let a day derail ya. You got this. Its great you went and got some help dude. Your the type of person that gets the most out of it. Someone that really wants to do different.

Thanks to you all, you don't know how much I'm leaning on you right now!! I got right in to the addiction counseler with begging and tears! I think the sound of a grown man crying and I do have pretty good insurance that covered it probably helped... add to that the request to get in was from my heart, I don't want that life and this rattled my cage really bad! I want to be just like every one of you, posting my battles and going forward each day, it really hurt to reset my tracker... you all are so awesome, group hug to you all, and a big kiss to the ladies (not that kind of kiss, head outta the gutter!) Just the kind of kiss n hug that let you know I appreciate all you have done for me, thank you my dear friends!

I just want to second the comments by thowindatowel......those 21 days were huge and you should not allow this to completely wipe out that sucessful run.  That is the only drawback I have personally about counting days, because in your situation you are not really back at Day 1.  When you get knocked down, the only failure is not getting back up.  Get up dust your self off and keeping heading toward success. Overcoming addiction is truly a process.

Hey, DO NOT TAKE THOSE 21 DAYS AWAY. Dont do it. Im really proud of dude and you should be proud of yourself too. I hope  you are bro. Please dont beat yourself up. You made 21 days. Most people cant make it 21 hours man so you did awesome. I sure hope you havent takin anymore. I just dont want ya to get sick again is all. One time you wont get sick bro. Trust me on that one, I know. Your a smart guy. You know what happens if you take those pills back to back days. you get sick. So dont ever do that,at least. Your getting to where you need to be and that one night will help you more than hurt you. Weird I know. Was it worth it? My guess is youll say NO. Remember that the next time you wanna get some or find um! Live and learn duluth if sooo proud of you man you dont even know. You dont even know. Please dont give up and start taking um everyday or everyweek of every month. I know you wont do that.

You found an addiction counselor and had an appointment in one day???? Holy Moly!! You don't know how lucky you are. It would take, at the very least, a month to do that where I live. So take advantage of it and get everything out of it that you can.

Relax and enjoy your meetings tonight. You are going to be fine.

Let us now how it went for you and hang in there above all else!!
