Hey Lee glad you found your way to our forum .....i love a guy with Tanitansty and the burning will power to succeed how much where you on and where are you now with your taper
Lisa gave you a lot of good advise the first beeing able to face the fact your an addict
your in good company here where all addicts just some of us are living in recovery
its also a good idea to have someone other then yourself control the pills it gets harder to do in the lower doses and it is ez to yo/yo your dose up and down because your feeling dope sick
we will try and help you all we can there is much support here on the sight and a couple of hundred yrs experience if you add up everybody we will do all we can to support you and help you back to the other side....its not an ez road but one that so so worth it good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

Hi Lee . Welcome to the forum.. it is always difficult when we find we have become addicted.. Blaming the Dr is the first reaction. all opiates come with a pamphlet stating they are additive.. admitting we are addicts is not something we relish but until we do we are angry and take no responsibility.. I'm not saying this to be harsh it is just a fact. If you are tapering it would be in your best interest to have someone you trust dole them out to you as often we fail if left on our own.. Many if us live with chronic pain and have found alternative methods to deal with it. Speaking to your Dr and telling him you do not like being tied to a pill would be a great start in finding these treatments.. I agree Dr.'s hand them out to readily. but it is up to us to be our own advocates.. You sound determined !! It will not be that many more days before you start to feel better. make sure you are eating taking hot showers/baths and staying hydrated.. Life is freaking spectacular when we get off those damned things !! Take care.. lesa

Yep Lee you can do it and will  do it. Living the life of someone who takes pain meds its not a life just existing. I used heroin for 14 years only to keep on relapsing. Only untill i had to leave my family over the x mas period to go to rehab and the meetings and counciling i got there did my recovery take of I came home 6 to7 weeks later and im happy to say iv been clean102 days that can, could and most likely be you Cean happy and iving life to the max Best of luck to you as you will and can do it,,,,,,,,James
