hi

so i thought that i would share my story.....well as far as its gotten anyway..........so i'm 27 years old and ive been addicted to oxycotton for about 3 or so years....well ive been "clean" for about 2 months...I went to a detox facility for about 2 weeks untill the worst of it was over...then i signed myself out...for me it was just to hard on the head...thats all ppl talked about ...like i never used needles but now i know how....cause thats al that was talked about in there.....i'm not saying detox is a bad thing...it just wasnt for me..well any longer then it had to be

so i have a boyfriend he's been clean for about a year now....which now that i look back i have no idea how he did it .....watching me get high right in frount of him everysingle day...and he never touched it....i couldnt do it....**** i haven't really left the house in 2 months because i'm scared lol....i just don't trust myself

I'm also a mom ....i have 2 little boys (9 & 4)...who don't live with me right now....i think that was deff the hardest part in all of this......I had to send them to live someware else because i love them enough to know thats whats best for them right now....i can't look after myself ....how can i take care of them properly....i still see them almost everyday...but it just got to the point were i figured i can let them go for a little while and get the help i need or i'm going to loose them forever.

So physically i feel good....its awsome to not wake up sick every morning and have to come up with the money ect ect.....i guess from here on it its a battle with myself.....i got part of me thinking this is good and i can do this but i still have this little voice back there saying....."you havent been high in forever...if ya did do it....youd proubally get high like you used to......cause like for the first 6-7 months or so it got me high after that it didnt any more ....i needed it to function....just to get out of bed

It's funny though cause ive tried lots of drugs just now and then if they were there at a party and free or whatever but it wasnt any big thing but the first time i tried oxys i loved it.......i didnt go not one day with out it for years

i guess my biggest question is how do you forgive yourself??? I did alot of things that now i look back and im like oh my god ......who was that person ....cause it just wasnt me......i dont lie cheat and steal....but i did it ....and i did it for drugs...i put all my time and money and energy into stupid pills....instead of the people that i love and that love me.......just to feel good about myself ....but now i hate myself more than ever for the things ive done.

anyway this is turning into an essay....and i could go on for days



tks

I know that I'm not yet the person I can be, but I thank God I'm not the person I used to be.

I tried Oxys 1 time and hated them. They made me puke and I couldnt do my DOC on them. Cause I would get sick everytime I did.
I guess that could be a good thing.
Anyway...You can forgive yourself.
You just have to forget about the past and move forward.
All that energy your talking about you put into pills.
Now use to be a better you.
Nothing you can do is ever going to change what you did in the past.
You need to just accept it and keep moving.
If I thought about everything I did when I was getting high I would probably go insane.
Glad you are here.
This board is great.
Lots of caring...understanding people.

Hi Capergirl,

Welcome and I'm glad you found us.

I think that guilt and shame were the hardest things to deal with when I stopped drinking. I couldn't believe the person I had become and I struggled with it for years. Finally, someone here suggested that I start a journal. I really resisted because I just didn't want to see the words written down on paper, so I put it off and continued to struggle. Eventually, I was desperate and began to write. When something would come into my mind, I'd write it down and it took almost a year to get it all out. Finally, I burned the journal and had released most of my 'stuff'. Forgiving yourself takes patience and time.

Hi Capergirl,

I'm where Anna was - where I've been struggling with some residual guilt and shame and I'm finally putting pen to paper - it DOES help.
I'm really glad that you found us, and hope that you continue to post.

want to welcome you....this is a wonderful place as you will discover...well the guilt...how to let it go...well all i am learning currently is teaching myself i can't change the past...so i decided to move on...everytime i have a feeling of guilt...i think i can't loose my time anymore with negative things and i spend my time working on my present!it takes time until everything falls into place!but it will...!

take care
