4th times the charm?

Day one AGAIN! Not been to bad, but I know what is coming! This is it. I am done. No more pills. I'm sick of this & having them control me! I can and WILL do this this time around!

Praying is good.... but a good plan is BETTER.  Learn from this and move forward.  Time to try something new.

Hey all!! So much great feedback!! Well, i had to go back to school today after THANKSGIVING break so it was a lil hard to get focused again, i wont lie to myself or you guys for that matter, I took a pill before clas :( however, its part of recovery, we are going to fall but getting back up makes the difference!! I have 9 pills left and im DETERMINED to get thru this. I have a two year old and my husband works nights wed thur and fri...im so frightened of not being able to make it. Im mostly scared of the stomach issues just because i have a terrible phobia of vomitting also (yeah, im a real piece of work..lol). Im afraid of giving in. However,like the quotes above mentioned "nothing changes if you are comfortable"....and i DO REALLY REALLY WANT THIS!! Lets stick together!! God Bless us all!!

Good Job.  I'm on day 3, again.  I took 2 Norco on Friday, 1/2 on Sat. and on Sun. poured some water in the empty bottle and drank it.  So maybe, only on day 2.  I don't want to do this anymore. Imodium helps a lot with the diarreha, then I'm drinking wine to forget, at least for these first few days.  Good Luck to all.

I found comfort in reading quotes during my first few days...

"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it."

"Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new."

These two were helpful. Hang it there and keep posting. You're already further than you probably thought you would be.

Ok so I am 27 years old and my pill of choice was Norco's.  Wow I was bad with them too! I just want to say that after 3 years of abusing this drug, I went to my doctor and got help. Out patient help so I didn't have to go to a hospital or rehab. My doctor prescribed me Suboxone. It's exactly like methadone for heroine but less potent I suppose. After 3 months on the Suboxone, I was clean and sober. I've been clean since 2006. I'm not saying it was easy because it was anything but easy. It helped me get off of the pills so I hope this helps a bit.
