Last Day Of 12

Pain Pills
1
Hi,
I am on my last day of 12 pills today, tomorrow I go to 10 for 4 days. I am still upbeat and proud after all I have cut from 25 pills a day to 10 in little over one week and I am making it thru it! I am having so much fun with my friends now that my real feelings are not dulled too much, I can't imagine what it will be like with no pills. I still am having w/ds but I am using camomile tea hot milk and valerian plus b12 and potassium for the legs and I have been able to minimize it somewhat. I still really want it bad and have high hopes for a success. I am really not craving except to make me feel (not sick) cause the pills don't have any high effect anymore so why take them. I really hope that this positive attitude lasts until I am off and after so I will be a success. I think it is odd that you can grow to tolerate a drug so much that huge doses fail to produce any kind of high and I feel like if I think of that (that I won't be getting high) then I won't want to do it. I am going to start seeing a shrink soon (about other things) and I think that that will help too. Keep me in your thoughts I really want this. I still had one pill left of the 12 last night that I didn't even take, yay!

Pets - continued success with your taper. It CAN be done. It wasnt until I realized my addiction was going nowhere but UP that I decided to end it asap. If only we could continue on our path with pills and "nobody gets hurt" lol,,,,,,but that is NOT the case. Im sure I would be up to 5 more pills a day by now if I didnt quit when I did. When the withdrawals get bad, remember they are SHORT TERM. The pride in getting clean will go a long way in keeping you that way. Burn all bridges to them also. Lead us not into temptation.....

Congrats. You can do this. I was taking 50 plus Lortab 10's a day. I'm ashamed to even tell people but I hat to get honest. Anyway, I got off them. It's not easy but can be done. Just keep up the great work. Being clean is such a blessing. I'm thankful daily to get that monkey off my back.

Take care....Belinda
