Still going

[dumbbasss]

I've just kind of gotten my body used to taking a steady amount of painkillers instead of hands full at a time and already the depression is very difficult to deal with.  The taper process continues.  I will cut down to 1.5 pills every three hours starting at 10 am this morning.  I am determined to taper as much as i possibly can before i stop completely.  Nothing good can come from these pills.  After reading and seeing the number of lives they have negatively affected, it is incomprehensible.

You can do this. I have tried to taper so many times and end up gobbling all my pills like candy. I finally decided to taper with my LAST script ever! All we can do is try right? I have been exercising a lot and hoping it will help. I'm scared to live a life without pills, especially since my world has revolved around them for 2 years. But I'm broke and broken and can't go on like this so it's time to find a life free of addiction. Keep fighting. We are worth it!!!!

Good job, everyone has goals that work best for them. Your lucky you can taper as it is not an option for most of us addicts, so props to you. I promise my friend it really is worth it in the end!!! Keep up the good work, there are "angels" on this site to help see you through. Keep posting!!!
