Dude, that was a close call….Holy Shit!!

To tell you the truth, I’m quite stunned you were able to pull yourself back after you went as far as you did. I think you already know that next time, you may not be so lucky.

This is a perfect example of why we have to distance ourselves from anyone who uses. At first, you sit there thinking, "yeah, I can handle this", then those sneaky little thoughts enter our head. We start to romanticize drug use, we start to rationalize it, we start to desire it……..then BAM, you’re screwed. If I were you, I’d go back in my head to how you felt when you realized he had pills….try to understand the emotions and thoughts you were having as things escalated and use what you learn about yourself to strengthen your recovery.

Also, sometimes making it through what you got through is just the beginning. You may find yourself struggling a little more over the next few days. You basically woke the dragon back up and just because you gave that Opana back doesn’t mean the dragon is gonna go right back to sleep. That dragon is probably still awake and he’s gonna be probing your defenses for a little bit. All he’s gotta do is find one chink in your armor and……well, you know what happens. Be extra careful over the next several days, OK?

You may find it helpful to come on here and post about how you’re feeling or you may want to come on here and just talk about how you’re still doing OK. You do whatever you need to do to get all the way past this.

Finally, good job on not using!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
