What will it take???

I'm @ a point of  such frustration and depression. I haven't posted in awhile. I wk in the medical field and have a 2 1/2 yr old that I adore. I can't seem to make the leap of knowing I need to stop the pills and actually stopping them... I take ultram 8/day and when I have them Norco 10's 6 or so a day. I'm tired of being a slave to the stuff, feeling like a bad mom,wife, the embarrasement of trying to fill Rx's early ALL THE TIME. I ask my self if something really bad is going to have to happen before I wise up? I don't even know who I am without the pills...I lack the motivation and commitment to do it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I've been taking 4 to 6 Ultram a day for about 3 months now.  I'm hooked.

I want to be able to play with my youngest grandson without needing pills.

Today is DAY 1.

I hope you can find the help you need here.  I'm sure I'm going to need it also.

Well that sounds just like myself in a nutshell, I tried to quit CT and would manage to get threw the physical WD symptoms but the motivation and desire for wanting to take the pills was too much for me, I just recently started Suboxone, it is working really well for  me cut my cravings out. You are definately at the right place to get advice and support there are alot of wonderful people here. T WD from Vicodin about 10 of the 10mg a day I have heard people talk about Ultram being alot harder to WD from. Best wishes in your journey.
