1st day of only 2 pills a day

I'm sooo nervouse today is my first day of just a half a pill each each dose I've been doing 3/4 of one for the last week so I shouldn't be worried its not that big of a differnce I'm sure its all in my head. So 2 hydros a day is only 10mg a day! So its exciting too since next week I'll be down to one pill for a week and thanksgiving done! That will be something to be thankful for and my merry xmas. I'm just nervouse. My boyfriend is gone hunting today for a few more hrs so I can't rant about it to him. He's trying to be very understanding about what I'm doing which is better then most significant others I'm sure. He never says a negative word or tells me I need to quit he keeps saying he knew I would do it on my own (now if he'd quit riddin me about cigerettes) :) I just felt like sharing my nervouseness I'm sure I'm not the only one to be nervouse over a taper

Not really just me and my bf. They are @ daycare and school while we are at work and if he has something he has to go do then me n the girls are home alone. Thank you I was starting to feel like I was talking to myself after 3 posts from just me.

A taper is always going to be more manageable than cold turkey.  But I did NOT have the fortitude to taper and many addictive personalities do not.  That is NOT a criticism it is reality.  So if you can stick to tapering on a SCHEDULE you will be thakful for it.  There is NO such thing as TOO FAST as you want that poison out of you as soon as possible.

I went cold turkey 5 days ago and it was rough but manageable if you stay positive and KNOW IT WILL PASS!!!! Just KEEP POSTING ON HERE!  Post your journey! It is REMARKABLE how strong you will be with the support here. I promise you! I speak from experience!

Stay in touch! Good luck with the taper and try and STAY STRONG! Dont be NERVOUS, that will make it WORSE.  Stay positive and look forward to being CLEAN!  Its great on the other side of the tunnel!
