still going down,down,down...

thank you all so much for responding ....I am so strong and positive about this and that is why and how i will stick to this plan...I am a mother of 3 and a wife so CT is def. not an option...i have to live and take care of my family...so update...the past 5 taper days went great...with many trying times in between..my kids and husband pushed me to the edge a couple of times but I fought the urge strong....NO TURNING BACK NOW!!!!  I am sooo sticking to my schedule and went from:
SUN- 10.25
MON-8
TUE-8
WED-7.325( i'm obsessed with every milligram...to make sure i dont go over)
THUR- 7.325
TODAY---I'm trying for 6.5  maybe even 6 i will see how i feel....
I wake up and write my schedule for the day...my husband wants to know why i put so much time into it figuring it out..it gives me something to do and be proud of... Then i take a protein shake with my morning dose of vitamins(used to be a mrning dose of 4-5 ..norcosreplaced with vitamins...)
I dont want to go to quick but really am getting sick of it but, each day i know i am getting better..instead of my liver fighting to process so many pills it is now processing vitamins and 1-  1 1/2 pills at a time...
I am so proud to say that i am down to 7 maybe after today it will be 6..cant wait to see...
The #1 thing that is keeping me going is a positive attitude and trying to stay away from stress(which is a little hard with 3 kids)  but, POSITIVE ALL THE WAY...
#2 is knowing I am strong again...emotionally..that took a long time to reverse.....I am stronger than the day before always.......Stronger than ever right now....
#3 finding ME again........chasing the me there once was not the high......a little more of me peeks out everyday and everytime i drop a dose.....
#4 which is really #1 is being better for myself and my family...I'm not such a monster any more i laugh now ..a tru laugh not a numb one and actually have fun with my children...fun i havent known in years....

SO CONGRATS TO all on sticking to schedule and keep it up...you need yourself back......BE POSITIVE..It makes the whole difference...
I am here for anyone who needs it I am so happy to be finding MYSELF again....you will too...I am so proud of myself and you for getting your lives back..... Please keep posting it really encourages me and all......anyone can msg me i'm here.... THANK YOU ALL>>>>>   :)  a real smile.....
