Hope this makes you laugh.

I'm on day 5, I still have a script for 100 10/500 lortabs and also a bottle with a refill remaining and I refuse to take opiate.

Since I have gone c/t I always wake up around 3-4am with body aches and pains.  We ran out of Advil yesterday and I forgot to stop and purchase some so this morning right on time I woke up and both knees and both feet really hurt.  

Picture someone half awake trying to find Advil at 3am...was not pretty.  Anyway....after about 5 mins I ran across my wife's Pamprin.  I began to read on the back that the main pain reliever in it was acetominiphin so I took two and went back to bed.

****!!  Did that stuff ever mess with me.  I've had the runs all morning, stomach cramps and a headache since this morning.  My advice to ALL GUYS out there...do not take Pamprin.

Hmmm. Any pms yet, hunny? LOL

That is a funny story, but at least you didn't touch the lortabs.  I don't know how you do it with them right there.  If I couldn't sleep, I would just say f**k it I need my sleep and take one and then end up in the vicious cycle again.  You are a real inspiration to me.  You have so much will power.  Good Luck!

That was a nice chuckle, but I envy your strength there is no way i could keep them around, just curiose why do you keep them?

[beentrying2quit]

Hey Missy,
I keep them around for two reasons.  I do suffer from nerve damage from Celiacs Disease.  I am not able to eat anything containing wheat, rye or barley which means almost ALL processed food,  Bread, crackers, croutons, cake, pasta, beer, salad dressing, etc.  I had this disease for over 10 years and it went untreated/undiagnosed until  4 months ago.  In this situation a person will experience nerve damage in the extremeties..just so happens my problem is in both feet and knees.  So far during my detox I've been able to keep the pain somewhat under control with advil and Pamprin :) but I'm sure there will be a day I have to take a Lortab.  I also had 5 major surgeries over the past 3 years and suffer from scar tissue that builds up around the surgery site...these can hurt really bad.

The second reason I keep them around is a self discipline test, I know this does not make lots of sense to most people but I kinda like the challenge,  who is meaner?  Me or the drugs?  Up until 5 days ago the drug was meaner and when I realized this is when I got pissed off enough to "Give em' the finger."   So far so good.  I do crave them, I do miss the high and miss the confidence they gave me....It was all fake.  

As of today my head is just starting to clear, the cobwebs are starting to go away and I'm starting to feel what life is really like.   I guess mostly keep them around to say to the drug "I'm tougher and meaner than you are."
