I need encouragement....

Hi all,
So I had tapered down on the tramadol I'd been taking (down to 1.5 pills BID), and was planning on tapering more as avisg helped me work out.  Well, it turned out I need to have two teeth pulled (not fun), so because I failed at tapering in the past, I flushed all my tramadol down the toilet and survived my swollen mouth with vicodin I was given.  Since i was only give 10, I figured it might help with wds and make my friggin mouth stop hurting.  Well, today is officially 6 days without tramadol and 2 without the vics and I finally feel physically better....but now I'm getting all antsy and sad and feel the urge to take my last 2 vics!  Someone write me back and encourage me to flush those too!  Tell me this sadness and cravings will go away eventually.....I feel like I'm loosing it!  
love to you all~

PS: I've decided having a dog is the best cure for wds.....they love ya endlessly and the force you to get your butt out of bed and walk them!

FLUSH THE PILLS!!!!

Your sadness will pass. Don't dwell on it. Keep yourself busy. I'm on day 33 clean. It gets better everyday ....trust me.  Keep walking the dog and do anything to keep from sitting and stewing. That makes it so much worse....

So, go flush the pills and then come back and post that you did it.

Stay strong,
Greatgreebo
