Think I of all people whould have seen it

[waterLilly7]

I am about a year clean and very happy to be! My best friend saw me though it all, but didn't believe me that the WD's were as bad as I was complaining. She would **** me off when she would say, "well I don't know about that because me and so and so have done them and never felt anything." She thought I was crazy. I sent her some posts from this group along the way to convince her, but no go.
SO the other day she called me up sick and crying and said that she has been snorting Roxy for about 2 months now. about 45 mg per day. She said her last dose was 24 hours prior. Yesterday would have made day 3. I told her I will help her and see her though it all, and she had to go. Well, I talked to her yesterday on her day three, and she is not only so much better, but there is a little bounce in her voice. She said she is feeling good, was driving people places, and a it lively and a little happy.
She swears she has not touched another dose. This can't be right can it? She is full of beans, isn't she?

hugs,
Lily

Yeah, on day 3 I was practically melting into the earth and day 4 I went to work which was a horrid.  I dunno...2 months...she could have gotten off with minimal withdraws...who knows?!  If she's not being honest with herself, let alone others, then we all know it will eventually catch up to her...

Very inspiring to hear how great you are doing at almost a year! Congrats to you!

As for your friend, I pretty much agree that at day 3 I personally don't remember feeling the best. But I also agree with Vic...I have heard of some people experiencing one or two bad days, and then they arefine like nothing happened. I hope that is the case with her and she is not back to using. Have you talked with her anymore?

Heck, I think I am still detoxing mentally at 340day..lol
I do want to put my 2 cents in about something. Back in the Early 90s (before I got hooked) I had surgery and got some oxys and I did like 4-10mgs a day for about 3 months and when I was no longer in pain, I just took the last one and walked away STILL no knowing what a w/ds was   (as far as using other drugs for most of my life) I felt fine but of course I was a bit younger and I drank alcohol often.
Then 16years ago when I was getting hydo/oxys for pain AGAIN I started to like them for other reasons. This went on for months and one day I was out and I did not know about the w/ds yet..Well I did not run to the bathroom or anything I just watch the Sun come Up and Down, Up & down for 2 days and felt anxiety (not like almost a year ago) and went WTF is going on..Well that was it back to the drugs and away I went for years and years and up the the Methadone with the other 2 drugs. SO my point is that she was on a low dose for only 2 months and she could be young and is bouncing back OR it has not hit her BAD yet. The Mind can be a very powerful thing.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR YEAR!!!!
Bless

I didn't even brave leaving my house until day 4, and that was clearly not a good idea even then (as I remember BARELY making it back home to the bathroom - a traumatic experience I won't likely ever forget :)

Huge congrats to you on a year clean :))

[ricart70]

I have never been anywhere near better on day 3 but I guess there could be a lucky person out there who is.

[toothfairie]

same here...day 3 i was on the couch or in the bathroom....she might have gotten lucky, but i'm doubting it....congrats on the clean time too!!  way to go!!  

[dominosarah]

I remember saying the same thing...........No way in hell on day 3 could i of been driving Miss Daisy as i was too busy trying to make it to the bathroom!!

[ROSYouralright]

Congrats on your one year!! That is awesome! I agree with ABN about your friend..,, wish I felt that good on day 3. And I never snorted....

[ActingBrandNew]

Yeah...its sounds a bit fishy to me too. I dont care who you are...if your snorting that for 2 months....your gonna have some withdrawals....especially on day 3. Definitely "full of beans" as you say.

Hope all is well with you though...congrats on the "about a year clean"!

Always,

ABN
