Don't beat yourself up, it happens. Just like the weight loss programs say "so you messed up and ate a piece of cake, just get right back to your program, don't take it as a license to binge..." Personally, I would not think someone using as long and as heavily as you would not have a physical addiction. But the mental addiction can be just as...

Just a suggestion - if you can take ibuprofen or some other NSAID for pain - I also c/t'd off of 10-15 daily lortabs and I figure my liver has seen all the tylenol it ever needs to. Peace, Kate

Thanks all for your opinions and tips. I'm on day 21 and all I know is that it is soooo much better than it was 21 days in after my last (and first) c/t.

This is my second c/t off 10-15 lortabs daily. The first time was this past December, mid-month. I remember by Christmas day being a bundle of nerves and so emotional that if anyone just looked at me wrong I would cry. I couldn't even stay at my family's house for Christmas dinner. This time, I am now on day 18 and the last couple days have been really ha...

I definitely would not try to do both at once - no matter what some might say about relying on a "crutch". Everybody, even those who have never used an addictive substance in their life have "crutches" they just don't call them that. I remember my ex-bf once going into a detox/rehab program that did not allow ANY chemicals (of course if ...
