Looking for a little "hooray!"

I have been on this forum since April and have tried to stop Norco CT three times but never made it past 5 days.  Today is 16 days!!!  Thank you to everyone that has been supportive in the past.  Your notes and messages meant so much over the months even though I slipped back to my old ways three times.  I am feeling GREAT and committed to staying on track.  Just wanted to let you all know......  :-)

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to let you all know that I am still going strong!  I have had some tough times and my grandfather that I have been caring for (see my journal) finally decided to take the trip to heaven.  Despite dealing with all that comes along with processing a loved ones death, the funeral, financial business and a computer crash (thus the 2 weeks of no posts) I am still off of the Norco.  The first 2 weeks were the hardest and then it became habit NOT to take a pill every morning.  I am still super stressed out and over burdened but being off the Norco has enabled me to be more present, feel more pain, but also move through things more quickly.  I find I am not swelling on the negative as much and I definitely enjoy the positive experiences in each day.  I hope you are all well and another big thanks to you all.  Almost a month!  You can all do it!!!

Hugs!

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Those who taper are the strong ones! C/T is hard but tapering takes will power. Kudos to you!

WOW!  Congratulations!  It's a great feeling, isn't it?  I'm still on my tapering schedule as I'm not strong enough to go c/t from my doc, but KUDOS to you!!
