I first came across this site, I thought it was great. I didn't feel so alone. I knew that I had just relapsed for the first time after almost 3 years clean and I got very confused again. Yes, I am on here for friends, bonds, advice, and to break the cycle. I thought I was so strong willed after coming clean and staying clean. I feel like I lost that feeling. I feel like a little girl again. I want to break the cycle, but at the same time, I'm so angry at myself for giving in. I am feeling  all emotions.

I was offered both from my doctor for pain again. I mean one or the other. He actually said "would you rather the oxycodone or hydrocodone?" I didn't know the difference and being the addict that I am I thought to myself " I wonder which are stronger". I didn't want to ask him any questions, so I just took the vics again. this is a never ending cycle.
