Good morning everyone.I'm real sorry for not being around yesterday.I didn't do well yesterday OH heck I binged,and I didn't feel right posting when I was doing that.When I come to this post its because I am looking for support.Yesterday I just felt the meed to do what I did.Today I start again with 10 I've only had 8 so far and thats fine with me.I hope the 10 holds me if not I will probaly go 1 week more on 12 then drop down.Anyways this is my good morning and I couldn't belive how much I missed being on here but as I said it didn't feel right and it was like I didn't want to look like a phoney and rob you guys of talking to the real me.But I'm back and I'm just gonna pick myself up & try again.take care.....mollyjean
Good Morning Molly,

Hi Tina except for yesterday.I really goofed up with 16 but when I went to the 10(like today) I've done 8 in the morning and then about 2-3 I'll take the other 2.I think if I'm having a hard time with 10 I may do the 12 for a week longer than try to decrease.How are you today...mollyjean
Suggestion......don't down 8 in the morning......that is a pattern you have everyday......I know this is how you function in the am. Try to take less first thing....I know this sounds strange but for as much as you take them and are addicted, your habits...patterns....of how you take them are part of the addiction too. Do you understand......try breaking all 10 up to be taken throughout the day...like 2 every 2 hours from when you first wake up till you finish the 10 for the day.......Breaking the pattern will help you to decrease your dose in the long run......
You can beat this .....
You can beat this .....
Thank you mistyeyes.You know I have gave that some thought,but I guess it takes someone else to say it before it makes sense.I think maybe you could be right.First I need to break the habit of when I take um and space them out,take care....mollyjean
I know that you can do this Molly....figure out what works for you when spacing them out. You are not gonna feel real great but you do have an advantage over most. Your kids are in school all day, so whenever you do a change in dose if you do it on a Monday......hopefully by Friday you will have adjusted for the weekend..........Just take it slow...even cutting pills in half if you have to.....
Make sure the pills you take can be CUT not all can!

Hey Molly,
I agree with Mistyeyes... She is right. You should try and break up the 10 you take in a day over time. I know how it is getting stuck in the same patterns but it does help when you are weaning. For example, You take 3 in the morning,3 in the afternoon,3 in the evening and 1 before bed. Then the next week do the same thing but try and cut out the bedtime dose or 1 of the pills in the morning,afternoon or eveing by just taking 1 less. Then keep doing that once a week. You should beable to get down to a lower dose with some WILLPOWER!!!! You can do it and that is why you are here to get help and support while doing this for yourself..... I have faith and believe in you... Rachel

Thank you so much misty,I get so mad at myself for these dam pills having me.I have lived through so much I get really mad that these little white pills have such a hold on me.But I REFUSE to give up trying.I don't care if I stumble a 100 times I am just gonna keep trying and I know in my heart I will get a grip on this thing called addiction.mollyjean
Rachel! thank you so much for all your friendship and everyone on here that gives me their kind words and understanding.How are you today Rae do you feel any better...Damn Walter ruins alot of good moods huh?mollyjean
lol,yes he does...I can't wait til Walter goes away for good. I don't need him around anyway,I am not planning on having any more babies. Well girl I am going to take Alex to school will be aback in a few....... Hugs,Rae
Hi Molly;
Are you tapering on your own? Is there someone who can handout the pills to you? I know I could not do it alone - believe me I tried many times and failed each and every time. How about counting out the pills you need and flushing the rest? The toughest part of tapering for me was the mental obsession, and if I had control then all bets were off.
Good luck;
Jim

Ok, my last post did nt sound right as I read it after I posted it. Walter is not a boyfriend he is a woman's monthly visitor....lol Well he is Molly's monthly vistor, flow was mine.LOL Anyway just didn't want anyone to read that last post and think gosh she doesn't want her boyfriend Walter around cause she doesn't need anymore babies....Ha-ha.. I am goofy and blonde....Rae
LMAO...........Ok it's named Walter............Still laughing.........
Hi Jim yes I have a great boyfriend that takes the bottle to work with him so it does make it alittle easier for me to taper.As for dumping them well I tried the C/T and the withdrawl was so bad thats why I started to taper down.Also I do need something for the pain.But my big thing is to be able to go to what the Dr ordered for me which is 8 daily.My final challenge will be to get to that 8 4 in the am 4 in the pm.Being part of this board helps me so much and I think its great how we all support each other and welcome new commers with open arms.I have met some really great people on here and having that friendship that develops means soooo much....mollyjean
I named it Walter years ago cause only a man could be that cruel!!!!
MJ- Come on..most men are NOT cruel...
NO THERE NOT BUT WALTER IS
You guys are killing me,lol
