Well that's just a perfect age for an adopted daughter for me.
My mom is 85 and I've always been the mother. Since my father died.. she's totally lost. A Very co-dependent couple to say the least. She is one nasty elderly lady..just never stops.
Know what...it's too damn cold here to even think about going anywhere. I have a meeting to attend tonight I don't know how I'm going to make it there just the thoughts of having to get out of the car and walk to where I have to go is kinda getting to my spirit. Last weekend we were in Vail, Co., it was cold there but this is a different kinda cold. It's bleepin Freezing.
How's your taper going? Feeling better today?
Gip
Taper is going fine i guess. feeling ok today was the first day at 10mg and my legs hurt a bit and a runny nose but thats it. i am sleeping good and eating alot. what about you still feeling good, cravings??
No... not really any cravings... I hurt b/c of the weather... but I truly can say the "cravings" for the most part have been few and far between.
Two-weeks ago... I had a really bad couple hours with cravings and a post from CATUF on the message board made that go away.
Head issues like "maybe I can handle this now" come into play every now and again... but I'll hold off on testing those waters for the time being.
I was using Vicodin for 5 years w/o a break... the break was well needed... and I didn't want to up my dose and I was tired of feeling like ****... so for now I'm making due with nothng. I'm going to give those natural pain receptors time to work on their own.
No one can stop these pills until they are completely ready to do so. I don't care how hi usage is.. or at what stage of abuse...C/T... slow taper... you have to be ready to say ENOUGH....! When you hit that point...ya just gotta go through whatever it takes to get to the other side...no way to go around it... it is what it is.
My resolve right now is still pretty strong, I am very aware of the mind games I can create... so I'm OK.. for now. I'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here.
