Day 14 of Taper

So I tried posting yesturday but for some reason couldn't. Anyway I have dropped to 1/8 every 4-5 hours and it seems to be okay. I am going to start spacing them out longer until I am off. Wish me luck.

Thanks gnarly. The withdraws haven't been too bad, yet. I've been sneezing alot., hot in the day and feel cold at night. My back and arm muscles feel a little tigh but not too bad. I get  slight anxiety attacks here and there they go away as quickly as they come.

Thank you littlebit667 you mean a lot to me, everyone in here does. I know my husband was the reason for me using pain killers. It numbed the hurt as well as the pain. I could fuction again like I used to before he destroyed the life, not perfect by any means, I had before he cheated but it was 100x better than the life he gave me after. I know leaving him is also best for me just difficult because I still care him. But he is still ruining me day by day and I can't allow that anymore I won't.

You are doing great.  Glad the facial bumps are going away.  We all have a reason for why these damn pills keep us hooked.  Maybe with your hubby gone, part of the reason why the pills were so attractive, will leave with him.  I said part, cause I know there is no easy answer why we become addicted.  I am starting to get a handle on why I let it happen and am trying to figure out ways to keep it from happening again.  Keep up the great work, you struggled hard to get here and it shows by your posts...that you are making it happen.

Oh by the way my face is clearing up:-). I don't know if it was the extra vitamins which I stopped for now, detoxing, or fighting with my hubby who has now been gone going on day 2. I am not sure how long he will stay away. It usually isn't long. I am crossing my fingers he won't come back. I know it souds cruel to some who are just reading my posts for the first time, but he is verry emotionally abusive and it is destroying me. Or was anyway I feel great right now.
