Day 31!!

Although I do not post most of the time I do read them everyday. I see lots of new names successfully getting off this junk and all the old posters who helped me get to day 31. For those of you who don't know my story. I was on 15-20 10/325 hyrdo's a day. Found out I was prego and freaked! I tapered in 1 1/2 weeks and had very minimal W/D's. Without this forum I would have never made it this far. I have been dealing with PAWS but it is off and on and I am slowly feeling like my old self. I found I go hours without thinking about a pill, thoughts are still there but it quickly passes. I wish all of you the best of luck and my prayers are with you all. Thank you everyone for you help in my recovery. Day by Day!!!

Wow that is very inspiring.  I'm so glad u feel better after 31 days.  When I decide to totally quit I'll have that to look forward to.  I went 13 days recently which was the longest in 3 years thanks to this forum but I couldn't handle the paws anymore.  So I'm taking one pill a day for the last 3 days and it seems to be really making me feel better.  Now that I have accepted it, I don't feel as guilty.  The first day I cried all day thinking "damn, I guess I can't go without a pill"  but today I woke, and just have to accept that if I can take just one pill a day, than I guess so be it.  I know it sounds very weak but I can't live with the anxiety of thinking of the pills anymore.  But if I can go 30 days without a pill, maybe it will make the anxiety a little better.  Thank you for your post!!  You are doing awesome!!  Take care and I'll definitely be thinking of you, Lil.

I am on day 7 and still have headaches and emotional issues and back pain and some GI issues.  I am doing better than I expected.  
I am so happy to hear that you go hours without thinking of a pill!!  That amazes me because I cannot imagine.  I don't go a minute...30 seconds maybe, but not longer than that.  My brain is like pill...depression, anxiety...distraction (son needs something, etc) pill pill pill!

Hi it's me, worstmotherever. changed my name...

Wow that's great. I didn't realize it had been that long since you quit.

How did you get motivated? I know you said it was because you found out you were pregnant, but do you know something I don't know? I mean, my ob prescribes the stuff for me, so even though I know it's not ideal, it's really hard for me to get motivated to put myself through that. How did you do it?
