IT HAS NOW BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE WE ALL BEGAN THE DECREASE IN OUR PILLS. HOW IS EVERYONE DOING? MY FIRST DAY WAS EASY AS I WAS NOT HOME ALL DAY AND I LEFT MY PILLS AT HOME. TO I AM AT HOME AND READY TO DO MY CLEANING. I AM DUE TO TAKE MY PILLS AT NOON TODAY ( 15 MIN ) BUT, I WILL KEEP BUSY AND GET THIS HOUSE CLEAN AND I PLAN TO DRINK ALOT OF WATER WITH LEMON(LEMON IS SUPPOSED TO CLEANSE THE LIVER). SIMPLE AS IT MAY SEEM...I WILL PROBABLY THINK OF THOSE PILLS 50 TIMES. AND I WILL BE SO PROUD OF MYSELF WHEN I TELL SATAN TO GET BEHIND ME.

Hi Diane............... and everyone.
Yes - so far so good. But I guess this is the easy part................... But I do feel that this is the right time for me.................. and no gain without pain? Right??
Given the half life of the pills etc - I would expect to have more of a withdrawal feeling tomorrow and the next day - if its to come at all? I am not sure how fast/slow I should taper. Someone suggested trying 10% reduction per day? But I think this is too steep? Perhaps 10% every 3 or 4 days? For me - one pill at a time is too slow. I am using a fairly low dosage pill containing codeine sulphate - but take 24/36 pills in a day. If I cut a pill every 3 days - that will be nice and slow. If anyone thinks I can do this faster then I would appreciate thier input??
Good luck to us all!!!

Hi everyone a friend told me about your idea. I'm in But must take much bigger jump's down. I have no choice I sometimes tack up too 2000 mlg a day of morphine so I have enough clorazaapam for one weeks gravol and emodeum should help with the other stuff :) I even have somthing for the sweat's hot cold flashes. So my depression is already high. I have tried so many times! I have never been this well set up though so I have to make it this time. Today is Monday I awoke so sick I could hardly do anything to help myself. I read your post and wish everyone the very best!!! Keep posting please !

TERRIANNE, WHEN WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE FEELING WENT AWAY FOR THE CRAVING FOR THE PILLS? SO U HAVE BEEN A YEAR WITHOUT ANY PAIN PILLS? WOW. IS THE WANT FOR THEM TOTALLY GONE? TERRIANNE 15 YEARS AGO I QUIT CT CIGARETTES. OMG THOUGHT I WOULD NOT SURVIVE IT....THOUGHT LIFE WOULD BE WORTHLESS WITHOUT CIGARETTES.....BUT ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THE COMPLETE FEELING LEFT ME AND IS THAT THE SAME FOR THE PILLS??

hey easter bunnies,
I woke up this morning feeling very jittery and nervous-i just wanted to take 5 pills at once (like I used to)--just to feel better, but I didnt I just took one, got on my knees and prayed for strength and drug my a** to work,I just took # 3 , my last one for tonight- so I guess I made it for day 2.
how is everyone else feeling? if you didnt do so well today, thats what this is about, helping each other, im here if anyone needs to talk about how frikn hard this is.

HI..I HAVE NOT YET MET ANYONE NAMED NANCY...
She goes by Phar macy. I read in a post a long time ago that she wanted to join with you. I haven't seen her post anything since though. Love, Kat
Took my 8 today as planned. Two more days of 8, then down to 7.
Felt fine all day until around suppertime.
I know there are going to be times my husband gives me the day's pills, and I'll feel like taking them all at once. Advice, anyone?

Let me jump in and say congratulations to all you bunny plungers. You are giving many hope in your progress and succuss and most of all you are making your life a LOT better. Keep it up.

Betsy
My wife gave them to me a few at a time. Otherwise ?????????? You are doing very well. You have reduced by a lot. Keep it up.
Frank
Does he give them to you before he goes to work, Betsy? I asked because I was wondering if he had to give it to you all at once like that. If so, would it be too inconveinant to come home for lunch maybe? Love, Kat
betsy,
great job on the 8, i can relate, its easier to just give in and take all we want, i love that your husband is giving them to you for the day. Is it possible for him to give you a smaller amt at a time, so you wont give in?
hang in there sweetie, lets imagine the high of being sober
love,

Thanks, everyone. Hubby works 40 miles away, so he has to give them to me in the morning. I guess thinking of the terrible WD's will make it easier to take only a few at a time throughout the day. Mentally it will be hard knowing I won't get that high.
But that's what I'm doing this for, to live "normally" not wasted.
