Well friends....As some of you knew...I was doing a taper...or at least I had access to percs.....I was doing no more than 4 in a day..that was my limit.....Most days I was down to 2 maybe 3 but never more....unless it was really rough....

What is different right now, since I have come to the board...I have had one major slip....after a couple of weeks of no pills.....SInce I have come here...I have changed my patterns...I have started drinking alot of tea...vitamins...galore....and I puff..so I can sleep, I wouldnt without it...that is been proven everytime....I eat a hell of alot of healthier..but that has been since I have been off the street too...

I am still in alot of pain and have alot of bad days.....but since SUnday...I havent had anything......Now this may not be peromant I dont know...but its working for the most part...I still have wikked cravings but I am also surrounded by non druggy people...I live in a non smoking enviroment...this helps

So I just wanted to touch base with everyone and let them know how I have been doing....

The wds havent been near as bad as before........and maybe I will slip, but I will not do anything more than what I have.....and hopefully...remaining absent will come one day...

Right now, I am taking it easy and doing the best I can...I wake up int he morning and try....

I have been in good spirits too.......not as grumpy.....I have been cooking, baking, and cleaning alot..and trying to do my daily exersice which some day si can cant cuz I hurt too much but either way....This is how I am doing

i am so proud of you...you go girl!!! the pain sucks, i know, my pain has flared up big time, and its from working, irritatting my scar tissue. but on the up side i love going to work, gets me out og the house and my mind on something besides craving pills all day...

i'm happy you posted... it's always good to hear from you

just remember if you do "slip" you dont have to "fall" cause we are all here for you...just take "baby steps"

Its many thanks to ppl here...your stories....your hurts, pains, sorrows, joys, loves.....everything I hvae read...

I am really lucky too...for the very few people in my life that I see day to day!! I have dropped all my friends that do oxys......I have one that does percs but is very respectful if I dont want it around....and knows Im am cutting myself off...so he doesnt talk alot about them in general..and I need him, hes my movie buddy so its great.....

My household....I live in a drug free envoirnment.....I have one other pot smoker here..but he doesnt puff often.....Lord knows what I would be like if I was quitting smoke too......sheesh....I would begoing crazy

I think I am lucky to be able to puff....because it helps with sleep...and when I sleep I am better off......and with everything else that helps balance me out....

I know Im not always going to be positive, and will still go thru life..but Im here..and doing what I can
