Two things: weird

[gulliver123]

One: just took my little half a perc and I swear to dog, I INSTANTLY, immediately, threw it up. All over myself. It was just weird. hmmm. Wonder if someone is trying to tell me something...

Two: do these pills make you puffy? I really think that over the past two/three days, my face looks thinner. Almost like I'd been swollen and I'm deflating...(and I'm not a big creature to begin with)

Is this my imagination?

i actually gained 20lbs and am tan and look and feel healthy....

I never used to wanna eat, bc i wanted my doses of Hydro on an empty stomach to maximize the effect

[gulliver123]

thank you.

That half is still staring at me. I don't care. Vic friend and I had a good talk. We traded things. She gets it. Good friend.

thanks all. Going to SLEEP.

Congrats on telling your vicodin friend you dont want anymore!!!  Good for you!!  Keep fighting and stay true to yourself.........sara

[gulliver123]

I just told my vicodin friend that I don't want any.

It feels good. And there's a half perc. sitting here in front of me that I'm allowed on the taper...I don't want it.

thank you all. (I know, it's not over) But.

Progress.

I've been sober for exactly 30 days tomorrow from a 10 5mg percocet addiction and dependancy that I've had for a little under two years now. I have lost 23 pounds since I flushed the pills down the toilet a month ago tomorrow.

I was all puffy and had the skin color of an elephant.  That must of been attractive!!!

[gulliver123]

Yep! That makes sense... (and hey, you're right, it's a full time job, keeping this up! Sheesh.)

[ImGettingClean]

Yep, also contributing factor to those dark circles... :T

The reason I looked tired and drained is because I WAS tired and drained. Seems like nobody mentions how dang hard it is to keep up active addiction :)

[ImGettingClean]

Definitely...

Addicts look 'puffy' due to retaining water, they also tend to get the circles under their eyes and look tired and drained....
