New post for the posse!!!
Hello fellow warriors! I thought I would post a question so we can all comment how we are doing on this day. It is getting harder to follow everyone's threads without missing one!
Day 8 today and I am changing up how I do things today as the past few days just haven't been my best. Taking all of your advice to implement changes. Today is a new day :) A sober day:) Another day I have won this battle:)
Nomore and charlie we are truly different people than last week. I was looking back and reading our old posts.
To our new girls- keep up posted on how you are doing constantly! We care and can help get you through this.

You can do this. 10 days ago I decided to stop. I was reading this forum and got some really good info. Detox is never pleasant or a walk in the park. I found some on here who were trying to taper and some c/t. This simply means ( depending on what you are on ) Drag it out or Tough it out.
I have taken Norco/ hydros for the last 25 years. I was scared, but God had his plan for me and I took my last pill last Sat at 4 pm. I am now 176 hours from that moment and getting stronger everyday. Was it easy? no, Were there days I wanted to turn back? Yes. I had my doubts about my will power since I have had problems going back and forth on quitting smoking and I have severe heart problems. So I started with a lot of fear and doubt.
My first post wasn't until 38 hrs. in. Could have posted sooner but didn't know what to say. Thank God I did post. Within minutes my ANGELS ( Tina6444 and Nomore2 ) and a number of others started with the support that has gotten me this far. Did I have bad days? Yes. But every time I did, The first thing I did was read and post on this site. By the time I got done I would already feel better. Are all my days great now? No. but much better.
For the first week, We sometimes went hour to hour just to get through. We still have some rough periods but now we are counting days. Support and understanding and total acceptance is what this site is all about. You will always have someone where you are, ahead of you, or as you proceed, behind you. All you have to do is reach out. We are here. Take the plunge. Yes the water is cold and deep, but you will not go under as long as you post. And it goes by fast. If you told me a week ago that I would be drug free for 7 and 1/2 days. I would have been excited, but I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are.
Gnarly also got me to go to NA. 3 meetings this week. Very positive and much stronger support in person. Use all the tools available.
One pill is too much, 1000 are not enough. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Always with love.

Tina,
Exactly! I'm like I haven't even had one physical symptom and I'm already a freakin baby! Thank you for the support. No one else knows but my mother that I'm struggling and that's because she's detoxing off 20 years of benzos and can relate.

Hey there how are you?!?! You better be fighting be we know it's a battle we will win this time !!
Kait- kick them right now I think the most difficult part of process was the very beginning ( right after I popped the last pills). Bc I knew it was the end ( or should I say beginning of my life again ) and the withdrawals physically weren't even present lol!! It's a mental game girl and if you are here posting you are READY!! Kick that $&@$. I personally never could taper but to each his own. We are here for you when you need it. I promise you it's the best decision you will ever make in your life ... The hardest but best !!
And pill guy thank you ! Much love to you buddy!!
Junip- sit out on that beAch and never look back !! You are doing amazing !

jlannspr,
Just beginning.... I have enough Norco to taper for a couple weeks but I'm just being honest when I say I don't know if I have the will power. I should have the Elimidrol in by Tuesday so I'm praying I can feel good enough to just jump off. I hate this poison!!!
