| singin' the vicodin blues
thanks to Ann25's timely advice, i escaped the vicodin beastie a couple of weeks ago. well, it has resurfaced...... my s/o just had a cyst cut out and is on vicodin for pain. AAAAAAAAccckkkk! It's really bad so she can't just flush the vicodin. Sooooooooo....... moot has to deal with it. She's out of the house right now and i'm haning on by my fingernails, saying the serenity prayer, etc, trying to keep from looking for those vics! This is exacerbated by the fact that she was given DILAUDID for pain when it was removed, and i was there when it was administered. She gave me blow by blow details of how the dilaudid was affecting her until i asked her to knock it off. Hence, my tolerance for having opiates around is greatly lessened. Have i said it before??? probably not.... so here it is..... AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkkkkkk!!! :arg:

Moot hold my hand. When I read that title of this thread I LMAO. I think there are a bunch of us that could write that song. I am saying the serenity prayer right along with you.

Hey mooty, I don't think it would be such an outragous request that mabey you can ask her to keep the pills with her when she leaves. In the meantime try and find something to do to keep your mind off it, read watch some tv, or even go out if you have to. mabey you can do something for yourself as a reward, like "I'm not going to take these pills, so why don't I go shopping to celebrate" You can do this, stay strong I know you have it in you, my prayers are with you too.

((((((((((((((((((((Moot))))))))))))))))))))) Bless your heart. I so remember wigging out at even the mention of vics...There were many days I couldn't even read posts on here that mentioned any narcotic...by some miracle it doesn't affect me anymore..this I thought would never, ever happen, not in a million years. You're doing good though, you have evaluated what you want..clean time not to be ruined..and you are sticking to it. What I found helped me to get through the obsession was not to ignore it..ignoring it seemed to suggestn my mind that I needed to fight with it, be on super hyper guard against it....I wrote lists of what it did for me, what I didn't do for me..and what it cost me every single time I used it. I didn't spend a long time doing this, would make me obsess even more, but I found facing it head on, looking at it for what it was....that yes, I was going to crave it for some time, my old self wanted it, but the new, recovering, healthy me did not want to ruin all that I worked for..then I got busy doing something positive..like reading success stories, taking a walk, watching a movie, drinking huge glasses of water, playing with my cat.....it took awhile to come to where the cravings and obsessing were hugely diminished..but when I truly knew I did not want narcotics damaging me any further....it was amazing. For me it is important to be able to be around people taking a narcotic and silently reaffirm my intention for my life. A drug free one. Now obviously we have to stop being around drug dealers and dangerous playgrounds...what I am trying to say is I have finally beenable to cope with others using or talking about my DOC and I am okay..it IS possible..and it's the greatest feeling in the world. Some times I am just in shock about it. So hang in there....It will get better. It is really tough for awhile...but you are doing really really well...I admire your courage. (((((((((Warm Hugs)))))))))
