Did I set myself back ???

Helllo to all you brave and wonderful souls.....  I have a question yersterday I didnt have anything.... also felt wonderful ( because I taper myself) today when i woke I knew I had 1 10 milligram Lortab in the cabinet. I battled with myself all morning not to take it and finally caved and took half. Have I ruined my " progress" or have I just been set back a bit. I feel so frail...   also VERY DISAPPOINTED in myself...    Will tomorrow be a bad withdrawel day for me???   Anyone know !!   Good luck to all you strong ones...........  

*  My body has the drug running through me and I feel poluted (sp)

You havent set yourself back much at all - though this should serve as early warning about what might happen later on.......put it in the rear view mirror and drive on with stronger resolution. Lots of people here have made it. It can be done....good luck -

OK, it's been 1 hour and we are all anxiously awaiting the news of happy fish! Well are they? You need to do this. You don't need to take the other half. You proved that yesterday.

You guys are a tremendous amount of help to me. I DID go ahead and take the other half. Just to get ride of it. The guilt wont even let me enjoy it. CRAZY !!!  I am or have been for just two days been on A flintstone vitamin, inmodium, Centrum, Vitamin B-6 and a bbig fat dose of reality.Do you guys think that will help erase my mistakefrom this morning? I started tiffs with my sourses so no more pills from them, and now besides my friends from out of town, my husband and family I am pretty much alone.  Thats not such a bad thing I guess they were helping me destroy my life. WHat kind of friends are they.   Just a bunch of drama starting, money sucking ,drug addicts.  Please pray for me, and again I do appriciate each and every one of you.........

I would have either flushed or took it to get rid of it...flushing would be the smarter choice but hey...we are addicts...dont beat yourself up...but throw away the other half...i would imagine it is not fun to take them when u have to feel guilty about it...i dont think it will slow you down or make u have to start over...just dont do it again...keep moving forward

Such a baby I sit here teary eyed knowing it would be a cold day in hell before I flushed a precious pill down the toilet. I wish someone would steal it from me.  Sometimes I think Gosh this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Also you know when the physical part is over you have this the battle with your brain. Which happens to be the hardest for me. My hubby got some (10) last night and I told him to leave me that one before work ( in case today was a hard day for me). I set myself up for failure. I could have keep 5 and left him with 5 but he had to work this morning and isnt starting his withdrawel till tomorrow..  plus thats just not what I wanted. Last month I went 2 weeks without anything so did my husband. Then we feel off the wagon so to speak.  I felt so good those 2 weeks but I guess not good enough to not ever take another.

I would call it a bump,so go flush the other half(otherwise your addiction will obsess about it all day).So now your taper is done and you will experince some withdrawl,but you had said how good you felt before pill so maybe it will not be bad.Even if it is it is better than that guilty looser feeling that I always had.So hang in and keep posting and reading,Glad your here
