[tapiatiff]

I'm trying to get the courage to throw my habit out. I'm scared b/c I'm so busy with school, work, & my family. If i quit i won't  be able to function. I need help! I'm goin broke tryin to keep up!

I know how hard it is to finally bite the bullet and stop.  I did it three time once when I was 22 years old, which lasted for almost 20 years.  Then I go hook on Pills and had to do it over again.  I know you are swaped with life, but if you can make through the first 4 to 5 days life will get so much better.  I am on day 15 and although life is difficult I am not high or chasing pills so I can focus on what is important and fight to build a better life for me and my family.  Read as many post as you can and you will find the strenght to do this.  Also, try N/A it has been a great help to me.

I just want to encourage you to continue realizing that this is a dead end street and that the amount of pills you take will only continue to increase as time goes on.  Your habit is not very high in comparison to many others on this site, not to belittle your struggle, because it will be hard either way, it will just be harder in you continue as I did and develop a much deeper habit than yours right now.

In response to your question of what to do, I would say the most important thing for me in the beginning was to strengthen my belief that it could be done and that I could do it...it continues to be a struggle for me, but I have in this fight for the long haul.

Pretty much any kind of pain pill I can find when I need it. Mostly tabs or percs. I've been eating them everyday for the past 3 years, except for when I was pregnant. I would only take them when I'd go to work towards the last trimester. It got really bad after I had my c-section. It's progressing quickly now. I am always broke and chasing these pills. It is driving me crazy! I've taken 3 today. I know it could be worse and for that I am thankful. What do I need to do?

Yeah what's your habit? And I have a six day a week stressful job but if I can do it? You can do it aswell.

Hi and welcome to MH. Most of us were terrified to quit but it can be done. I'm at almost 30 days and never thought I could do it.
What's your habit? Need more info?
