made it till 5pm today.
feeling sick still and defeated !!
wishing this was easier, wishing i made it all day.
can't go to the dr. for help being that i have three kids and can't have anyone think i can't care right for them. even if i was not so afraid of them being taken, i don't have anyone to look after them if i did try to go for help.
i hate pills !! (*;*)

I failed for a long, long time. I'm 1 year 10 months sober. Keep trying and you will do it.

Don't give up! You can do this!

All you can do snowfairy is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again tomorrow. Don't take anymore and don't take any tomorrow either.
At least try one day...and once you get past that one day you will want to try again for day 2...eventually you will have a long stretch of sobriety under your belt.
We are all rooting for you.
Keep on trying.

Are you going to NA meetings? They have been where you are and can help.

All the best.

You only fail when you quit trying all together. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, don't pity yourself and try again. And again. And again. Until you get it right. Eventually you will but only if you keep trying.

Try calling NA and speak to one of us (recovering addict). See if they have any suggestions. My mom was a pill addict ("But the doctor prescribed them," she said) and it affected me greatly. You can get off the pills, talk to a doctor about a real taper of something. You CAN do this!

I dunno...don't you think looking for help now is better than things getting progressively worse and the authorities maybe becoming involved later anyway, sf?

Noone's saying go to rehab for 28 days, but if you're having a tough time...maybe NA (or some other programme of support) or a Dr could help break this cycle you're in?

Whatever you do, I think supports really important.

I agree with these guys sf, it'll only get worse and your options fewer and fewer. You're so brave to even admit that the pills are a problem, maybe your inner self is truly ready to quit now? The support of others who've been there really helps in exactly this situation, wishing you all the best, you CAN do this!
