I took vicodin all day. I feel so stoned out of my mind but my bladder still hurts. I had to go pick up my clothes at the cleaners because I have a HUGE meeting tomorrow and my ONLY winter coat was there and I am freezing all day without it. Well, I should have not driven. I should have had a DUI. or a DWI or something like that. I don't remember driving at all. I drove about 3 miles there and 3 miles back, over a bridge over a river. I even stopped at Blockbuster with the kids. I don't remember driving. What was I thinking??? OK, I wasn't thinking, I just did it. I feel so awful now. Guilt is a bad thing.

Please don't beat up on yourself. You made it back home --- and you learned a lesson. My bet is that you won't do it again!

Warm hugs,

Please don't be so hard on yourself. This happened to me once too....now, when I get in the car and I feel the least bit "OFF", I go back home. I could never live with the thought of hurting someone else because my medication was messing me up on that day. And, if it's something that I KNOW I have to do and can't find someone to do it for me, I run the errand first, then take my meds.

NOW, STOP being so hard on yourself
