Hey man. Just checking in with you. I have a new plan, kind of. Let's talk.

Yesterday I had planned to take 3.5 again, but I woke up in the wee morning hours writhing in pain. So at 5:30am I finally decided to take one. So I took four the rest of the day because I was afraid to wake up in the middle of the night again in a hotel in that much pain. So today I'm at 3 at 10pm and I hope to take another half, but again, I'm afraid of that pain. But we'll see how it goes. All in all I'm doing well, except yesterday when I took 5!! But that was for real pain, so I don't feel too regrettful. I know it wasn't the drugs talking to me.
I'm really proud of you for flushing yours and sticking to 5. That could not have been easy. I know, I was thinking about thinking I'd be done by Thanksgiving and seeing how wishful that thinking was. Even Christmas seems unreachable at this point, but I hope to be on a much smaller dose by then. I hope that the rest of your weekend goes well. Keep on "Keepin' the Hope!"

Yesterday was crazy, I woke up late and by noon I was already at 4.5 It wasnt lookin good yesterday I was thinking that I'd go way overboard, to like 6 or 7.  I ended up taking another half, knowing that it wouldnt do much for me, and then I had an extra one allocated for the day and flushed it! LOL So yea I kept myself at 5 that way, I knew that if I didnt flush it that if the right moment hit me that I would take it!! You see, I knew that I couldnt get any more until the next day. I couldnt just show up where I get them on thanksgiving day! No way.  And so with like 9hours left of awake time I made it on 5 for the day. Which sucks cuzz I remember wondering if I could be DONE with these by thanksgiving, no way huh? Anyway, so then today I got more but all day today (friday)  I was up and doing physical stuff and by late in the day I had only two. So today is looking good, its gettin later and I admit that I'm lookin forward to taking more, but today should be a cut!! I'm pretty happy about that. Hope ur doin alright, have a good time out of town with family? Well, its hard to have any good time with this burden. But then again if ur like me you cant have a good time anyway, no matter how many you take! So keep nagging on this problem! Dont ever give up always Keep The Hope!!! Hey that sounds familiar? :-)

I thought I'd lost you! I'm so glad you're still here and still conscious of your amount. I have found a way to make it through the day at 4. I did it for 2 or 3 days, I can't remember, but today its only 3.5. I really feel like my leg was crushed with a sledge hammer, but that's the only real pain. Everything else is minor discomfort. I'm battling a little bit of a nagging headache, but even that's not too bad. As long as I make it to bed soon, I won't be taking anymore meds for the night. I'm 25, BTW. I'll be out of town with family for the next few days, so I don't know how much posting I'll be doing. But I'll try to check in and I'll be thinking about you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

We seem to have a lot other in common, we have a daughter, like starbucks, listen to country songs, take norco, post on here, etc..just courious what your age group is.
