I am still hangin around

[ribs2k]

I know it doesn't have much to do with quitting the pills but I am starting physical therapy today,(I went from 190 to 145 during my cancer treatments), to try and get some strength back and work on my appetite. I suppose anything positive is something helping me head in the right direction. Quitting is coming soon. I will be around waiting for the reminders," the sooner the better" on getting off of the OXY's. My current amount is fairly low but I know it doesn't make it ok. I am working on it.
Thanks,
Randy

Pat,
I am sure we both will. This will just all seem like a hiccup in time to get to the rest of our clean life.
Love, randy

Hi sweety,
Glad to see you posting.  I know you will get clean. It takes longer for some of us and we have to do it the hard way, I guess.
I think as long as we keep trying, we will get there eventually.
I picture myself in a year telling people about all my clean time and how much I struggled to get it.

Thanks Everyone. I started on 30 MG of Cymbalta and it doesn't increase to 60 until tuesday, so hopefully after that I will start to notice the difference. I am greatful for all of the positive responses. I am working on getting there.
  Dad is in Physical rehab for awhile until he gets healthy,(hopefully enough to get into a very nice assisted living place we found instead of a nursing home). He can afford it so I hope he follows the direction at rehab and eats like he is supposed to so he gets healthier. It is hard at 81. It's raining here today too. Talk about feeling Melancholy... sheesh...

Glad to see you Randy. I hope by now maybe the Cymbalta is kicking in and things may be clearing up for you. I would love to see you off of the OXY as I know you were put back on it for anxiety and that is a mis-diagnosis if I ever heard one. And you are right--the sooner the better to avoid any long, drawn out withdrawal. It is not worth it for you. You have been through so much and managed to come out the other side every time. Keep that in mind and keep your eyes on the prize buddy.
