When i look back and think about how many pills i was taking daily and how my whole life was centered around how many pills makes me sick...!!!! I never ever wanna go thru those wd's again!!!! I faced them on my own by the way!!! Life is too short to have it revovle around pills!!!

Congrats, also I like your mindstate it does help the pain but same time as for us it's diffrent we just need advil but people who isn't addicted don't even like taking them. I repeat it over again I remember the day I took even 1 without eating I didn't feel good cause of taking it and I had to lay down and was to strong for me and force myself to like it I don't even know why till this day and I regret it still but I gotta move foward this been a week for me. I've been a little better I be happy when I make it a month at least and happily normal again and just smile and like "I DID IT"...

Way to go! You're right, reading posts like yours definately helps while being in the first weeks of withdrawals. I absolutely relate to the disgust of planning days around pills, worrying about getting more taking them and then realizing you've become powerless to it. You start out thinking you have control of the whole thing but the reality is the pills take and take til you're just a shell.

You did it:)

Wow I love seeing this post! I have been thinking that as soon as my taper is up, I want nothing stronger than an NSAID for pain. I am so happy to see the positive tone of your post. It's downright inspiring man! Great job on 28 days. I can't wait to be where you are, and I don't ever want to look back either! Looking back is dangerous, so I keep my eyes to the future and to the much more worthwhile goals I am trying to achieve.

Thank you for taking the time to say this. I am new here, and it can be a little discouraging to see so many people struggling in pain, but the number of supportive and positive posts are uplifting as all get out :)
