Question

Good morning friends....another victory day yesterday from alcohol. I shared that I was tapering from Percocet, with the goal of stopping Monday this week.  Well, this is an honest place for me, so I feel good when I am honest with you friends.  I am making the tapering last as long as I can.  It's almost like a grieving process for me...slowly my "imaginary" friend is dying, and I am letting go.  I work 11 hour days now, and I don't take any substance with me to work, and am unaccessible to it.  It works for me.  I don't want to talk about the drug on this forum, to me it gives it power, so I will just say that with the help of my Higher Power, the tapering is working.  Just wanted to share, and thank you for listening..

I wrote a love letter breaking up with drugs. I write about the good times and bad, how she helped me and destroyed me. Much like my first wife, I had to make a hard decision and accept it is not worth it. My relationship with drugs was one sided, I gave up everything and received nothing by the end. Anyway, I think that exercise helped me accept that it was over, even though I still wanted her company sometimes, I accepted that the relationship was over, even though it hurt awhile, it hurts nothing like being in a dysfunctional relationship.

Good morning dear friends....I will do that exercise of the good bye letter Weaver, thank you.  
MS and Self.....that's just what I needed to hear to start another victory day today.  I am down to the end today, and with the help of my Higher Power, I will ride out the discomfort physically and mentally today.  
I go to work for 11, and I have a physically and mentally busy job.  I know I will experience discomfort, but P will not win today.  We are through, over.  I will write that letter tonight when he is begging me to stay in the relationship. This sounds so strange, but I think it will help!!
