Just trying to make it

[sodonemom]

I haven't been totally cold turkey. I try to go as long as I can but it's been 2 Percs every 12 hrs the last 2 days. I feel like I'm only making it harder on myself and dragging out my withdrawal but I'm just not strong enough I guess. I can't believe how terrible it has been. I feel like a fraud. Can't even quit right! I wish I could curl up and tough out the bad days but the kids are off school and these days are busy and I don't know how I'm doing it at all. I need to get my **** together I have to go back to work in 10 days. I think it would be a good distraction if I could just get through the physical part!

I am going through the same exact thing. Just posted how the taper is prolonging wd and I'm mildly sick everyday but have no choice w kids here. Or I'm just weak and too scared to jump. Let's support eachother. You can do this.

Don't feel like you can't quit right...this is SO hard!!!  I hear ya with the kids being home...mine are too.  Are they old enough to understand that Mommy has the flu?  That's basically how you'll feel.  Give yourself the credit you deserve...these are baby steps and it's not easy.

Hello again :). I've gone c/t once and honestly, it sucked but was so much better than tapering.  Then my medical issues worsened and I went back to it all gearing up for back surgery.  I have such a hard time with pills...hence why I flushed my remaining Percs about a half hour ago.  I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but you can do it.  Look at you getting to the 24 hour mark...you just have to keep pushing yourself and make sure you follow all the amazing advice on here...Thomas Recipe, after care, etc.  I know you will feel so much better being off them than on...I feel your pain my friend!  We are here!!!  Post, write, reach out!  Do you have support???
