still trying

I'm used to going to work and taking 4 or 5 while at work ...well this past week I only took one in the morning and one at noon. I could definitely feel it withdrawls, stiff, achy, hurting. To me, that means progress. I just took those 2 to curb the withdrawls. I  miss getting the good feeling. Thats gonna be the hardest thing for me to get over, the fact that I have to somehow quit wanting the "GOOD" FEELING. I must convince myself that I am never again allowed to have the good feeling.. In fact, I would come home from work these past week and take 2-3 at a time and get a buzz and feel good. I need to quit doing this. I need to keep just taking the 1 in the morning, 1 at noon, and then maybe 1 more in the evening...I need to get used to the feeling at that amount...I feel pretty close to normal (feelings, laughing, sneezing, etc) when I only take a couple per day. So I'm gonna knock this out eventually!! I have an oportunity this weekend I have 5 days off...I could enjoy a normal weekend, I could work on my taper, or I could cold turkey. I go back to work on wednesday. I'll probably just work on my taper. It should be easy to do what I've been doing at work cuzz all i gotta do is lay in bed for 5 days. So maybe I can really get started on this. I tell you the truth, I have not mae much progress on this. At least I havnt given up. I havnt even made it to 2nd base yet. Its ok though, I will!!

you are gonna be okay.just you tellin me that you took 5 or 6 a day and that your taper your dose to 3 days makes my problem not bad.DONT take other opiates to curb the feeling.DONT!! it only makes you want the drug more.the best way to go is, to go cold turkey.just be done with it all the way,like im doing.you will def make it through this.keep hope alive.

It seems as if you are missing an opportunity. If you don't take any Friday or maybe just in the AM. You will be over it by Wednesday. Are you wanting to quit or just thinking about it? For me it was needing a change in my life. They were ruining it.
  Are you going to be master over it, or it over you? It is your choice.
