Want pills so badly, argh
Want pills so badly, argh
Any pain and I feel like I'd be justified in taking some pills. I was feeling really good for a while and then last night I messed with my stitches from the surgery I had and it's been hurting ever since.
I really am convinced that my brain is trying to kill me. It wants me to take the pills, and it tells me it's no big deal.
I don't want to ruin my 13 days of no pills, I really don't. I am going to a meeting at noon, so maybe that will help.
What do you do when you aren't feeling well, physically?

You get to a meeting so that you can figure out what is real physically and what is your head (your disease). A noon meeting is a perfect idea, good for you.
don't use today, don't use for the next hour, just get through the day hour by hour, it will pass, I promise.
And you are right, your disease wants to kill you, sounds harsh but I know mine sure as heck does. Or worse wants me miseralbe, hating myself and using on the streets for the rest of my life.

Hey,
I just recently went through some serious pain in my recovery. I had 2 abcessed teeth and it was ******* excruciating, but I didn't pick up and I went to the dentist. I also found out that advil really does work for killing pain. I was taking 800 mg and it brought the pain to a manageable level for me. Pain is temporary, it goes away. Don't pick up and it will get better.
See if they have the pamphlet "In times of illness" at the meeting you're going to, I read it when my teeth were hurting and it made me realize that I didn't actually NEED pain pills, my disease just wanted them.
Good luck, don't pick up NO MATTER WHAT,

Thanks guys. I sure did obsess about it yesterday, but I didn't take any pills. Instead, I went to two meetings, talked to people, cried, etc. Ultimately I came home and took a hot shower and then went to bed for an extended sleep.
I think I feel better today. I was told by my doctor to take it easy and stop doing so much physically, so that's what I'm going to do.
Now I can proudly announce that this is Day 14 for me. Yay!!!!
