Woooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooo,
I'm DONE, no pain pills today. Boy, was that a fast taper or what? I'm feeling pretty darn good too. My appetite is not quite right yet and the depression is lifting. Sleep was GREAT last night too.
I just finished reading my daughters Senior Book, it is a project that she has had to work on and it tells her life story, this book brought tears to my eyes, I have so much to be proud of.
Thank you all for being so kind and understanding to me, it means a lot.
Have a great day.

Thanks Shewolf, Bri, Flipper, Janet and Marina, gosh I sure hope that I didn't leave anyone out. Oh, 12 Stepper, thank you.
Now, I have got to get my but back into the program. I have learned that my way doesn't work and everytime I think that I have this demon slayed, he comes back and bites me in the butt. I'm gonna have some ammunition with me the next time he comes knocking on my door.
Thanks for all of your support. It really means more than you will ever know.

Pam,
If you do not stop trying to do it your way, this cycle of relapse will never end!!
Please do not repeat the pattern I had down during active addiction!!
Even when I did not use pills for long periods of time, I was still in active addiction!!! Much of my behavior did not change - my life still had chaos & unmanagablility in it, but not as bad since I was not using. Problem was, I could not see it for myself!! I thought that everything was great cause I was not using!!!
I see a lot of my past life in your current life
I hope that you are willing to make some major changes
I promise you that your life will become SO different if you let go of the control (You know, the control that you can't control....)
Good luck to you!!!

Good work PAM!!!!!!!
The cymbalta claims to almost eliminate fibro pain...I would think the two together may not work...does it help at all with pain? My Dr. wanted to start me on it...but this seems to be working for me now...S
Pam we both kicked our addictions in the asss this week. This board has made some huge combacks in our lives. I cant beleive i haveny had a vicodin in 28 days and suc in 4
Its a miracle!
Its a miracle!
Thanks Wendy.
Sharonn, several women with fibro take Elavil and I have been on the Cymbalta for several months now. It does not have the nasty side affects that the Elavil has but the Elavil does knock me out. I suppose the pain is somewhat better now, but of course, I still have bad weeks, wish it was days instead of weeks. I haven't gotten dressed since last Friday if that tells you anything.
