Unhappy sneaking my dogs drugs!

How sad is that? The vet prescribed Tramadol for my dog and because i've been reading on this website for the past year i knew immediately that tramadol is a pain med and my mind was off and running. Let the head games begin! I guess that's considered a relapse eh?

surely thats not counted as a relapse. you've thought about it.. not had it and posted on here. the thought of a line of coke or a chilled lager has crossed my mind numerous times since stopping.(not doggie pills i admit ) ...but i havent had any.. well im certainly not counting them as relapses.

It is so good to see you again!. I for one have missed you that is for sure. Well is it a relapse? You are the only one that can say if it is or if it isn't. Anyway just wanted to say HI

Love Vic

So did you actually take anything?

I wouldn't consider it a relapse - and I wouldn't feel ashamed. I have sunk to lower levels, you did the right thing by coming and posting. Well done for that!!!

Thinking about it is one thing... Acting on it is another.

For goodness sake, please DON'T take your dog's meds! ... Not only does your dog *need* the meds, but it could also be extremely dangerous for you!

You and your dog's life processes are similar, but they are NOT the same! Something that's fine for the dog could very well kill you! ... Its just like aspirin -- fine for you but deadly for the dog. It works both ways.

i'm ashamed to say.......yes. I took 2 Monday night and 4 yesterday. The only reason i didn't take more was because i figured my husband would notice if the pills disappeared. I haven't told anyone.....i don't know if should, and i know that this is a relapse. I knew what i was doing and why. I should probably tell my sponsor but i don't know if i can.

My name is Vic and I am an addict probably lucky to be here clean that is for sure. I once heard in a meeting that if you are not honest with at least one person than you probably wont stay clean. Well I know for me that my sponsor and my psychologist know everything about me. I am not here to judge, or to criticize, I am here to listen if you need someone. I have been really busy Cheryl and sick also. I am usually around in the evening if you need to talk.

Love Vic

Just For Today WE never have to use again!

people who are with you in recovery are not going to judge you, so let go of those guilty feelings and in particular talk to your sponsor and tell them, be open and honest.

get clean and get to a meeting as well.

Kevin

Thanks, you made me laugh.

Well, i told my sponsor......she wasn't p!ssed, she didn't call me a freak, she didn't do anything that i was afraid she'd do (and she answered her phone when i called!). I went to a meetng last night, called my sponsor, called another friend in the program, sat in my car bawling, went home, wrote in my journal, took 3 more pills and went to bed. This morning i got up, asked for help, threw the pills away and i'm ready to start over now. God, that sucks, i was looking forward to getting my 6 month coin in a couple weeks and now i'll be picking up another white chip. Oh well, chalk it up to research i guess.

Thank God also that it didn't cause serious harm to you. You're still alive to pick up the white chip.
