woke up this morning and lost my meds last night, so plan started, past day 1 going to day two.  I hurts right now.

PLayed golf this afternoon and the pain really hit on the back nine, stuck with it.  1st time playing since hip surgery, I called it pain-on-pain.

Got home took a hot shower and went to bed, up now and we will see how sleep will be.  As for the pain, snuck a few sipps, as we know nothing will help for a few days.

hope my reduction plan works will will know tonight, this is it, never again with hydro

you all write me back I will be up all night

no more meds and no more excuses.  For some reason not as bad at this point, just woke up after 5-hours sleep, I feel I can go back soon at this point

over the past week and a half, i have been kicking myself for picking up those meds.

Tomorrow will be very long and Deb, thanks

hey ted, loosing your pills a blessing in disguise. i am so glad you are back. you got it this time.
please not too many sips. you dont want to go down that road again. thats great you played golf today. moving and exercising as much as possible will help you to heal faster. keep posting for support. get some over the counter natural sleep aids, melatonin,valerian root, alteril, sleep by nature made,
you know that it really wont make a difference because your right nothing usually works in the beginning to help with sleep. you know the sips arent good for your healing. take it one day at a time. please cancel your script at the doctors and the pharmacy. then you wont be tempted to refill.
positive  thoughts. you can beat this demon off your back.
keep the faith. fight the fight.
praying for you

Hang in there.  You never know since you have been through this recently, it might not be so bad.  Here's hoping.

Wow, that's great..Try ibuprofen for the aches and pains. I used that when I was going through withdrawl...It also helped me to sleep. Hang in there!!!
