I read your post too and it was just another carbon copy of myself.  I want to stop so bad, I been trying to stop for so long then I get that skin crawling feeling and somehow I convince myself that its ok to use, everybody has their own vice.  I just want to be free.   I honestly dont know how to be a good mom without these pills.  I never been off them long enough to know.  I am just feeling hopeless.  Like right now, its only 9 oclock in the morning and I am wandering how long I can make it till the next pill and I dont think its going to be that long.  It sucks to cause I beat meth about 7 yrs ago and I just cant kick this..Its so sad isnt it???  We know that its hard enough being a mom and this added monkey on our back all the time is not making it any easier.  It seems like I am in a cycle of putting myself through detox only to keep slipping up and putting myself back into active addiction again.. Please keep in touch we all need each other here.  Especially us struggling moms, lol...Hugs

I just read your comment....I too am a mother in trouble!  I have been taking lortabs since December....am ready and wanting to wean/get off.  How do you even begin????  I know it says to wean a little each day, but what about the "cravings" part?  What do you tell yourself or do to get your mindset that you don't need them??  HELP!!!

I just dont know, you are really asking the wrong person.  You can do a taper like some people here can, which I did and I am back again.  I did the thomas recipe that is on many of the post here.  But, in the end, its a battle with your mind.  I always end up losing,, I am still in active addiction.  Even though I take 1-3 a day, I obsess and I am just dont feel like a can do a damn thing until I pop at least one.  Marcie seems to be a good one to talk to. Read some of the post, she wrote one today to creek about how she ran out of pills on her family vacation.  It sucks being a addict, and it sucks even more being an addict and a mom.  I can never get enough energy to get clean.. Keep me posted... Good luck,,
