PILL BOXES

[Rockerforlife]

I must admit...using a pill box to keep track of them is pretty cool...i got one at the dollar store...its got 7 flat style boxes ,each label for each day of the week with 4 comparments in each box ..breakfast..lunch..supper  and bed time....i just load it up on shot day fridays and when its emty i refill.....FOOL PROOF...there is no way to miss the dose now....THIS IS AWESOME

hummmmm........hummmmmmm....KNEES CROSSED.....hummmmmm...PILLS...PILLS.....HUMMMMM

[Isobella]

ya---concentrate on doing it---and try to remember concentrating that you did it.

[Marcia2202]

If that's the case, continue humming for an additional 5 minutes: 'I took my pills, I took my pills...' while staring at the compartment.

[Rockerforlife]

My problem is not remembering to take them,its forgetting i did....if my little compartment is empty now....its means i took them...FOOL PROOF

[lalapple]

amen!  

[Isobella]

....and don't turn the alarm off until you have swallowed them

[Marcia2202]

your alarm goes off... go immediately to your pill box... hold the pills clenched in your hand (never lay them down anywhere) until you take them. From the beginning of when the alarm went off, don't cease humming 'my pills, my pills, my pills...' until you finally swallow them

[Isobella]

I think the problem is that after a few weeks, it becomes such a habit that you don't even think about it....then suddenly you realize you missed a dose.

Someone advised me to "concentrate on doing it, they try to remember that you concentrated on it".....made perfect sense at the time =)

Man....

¡You all are one impressive group!

I have never forgotten to take a pill of any sort in my life




Though perhaps being recovering alcoholic/addict has something to do with it ...the problem with us includes the tendency to take other people's pills as well ....

[Isobella]

arg...you make better chocolate, have better music....and that game keeps kicking my butt....I need to go back to bed and start over tomorrow.  LOL!!

[Marcia2202]

Gosh, didn't realize that I've been playing this since you posted it. I keep on winning, but don't know what the heck I'm doing.

Mancala....I love it--that's exactlly what it's like, LOL!

[Rockerforlife]

i will bet you a million dollars i will not miss a dose....unless i get hit by a truck

[pilgrim1951]

Rocker, you said, "if i got back and that specfic compartment is empty...i know i have taken it...."

"IF" (?)  

Use your diary  as a safety measure and don't think your system is foolproof.  Systems may be foolproof, but the mind on drugs isn't.  You wouldn't be the first to succumb to brain fog!   Your system is a great help and, again, best of luck with the trial.

I fill my pill box up every Sunday AM and there are so many I always say I am going into the bathroom to play Mancala, That kids game that they play with marbles. It makes the same sounds and always blows me away how many meds I am on. I call this my chemical year. I can't wait to go through detox and get all this stuff out of my system.

[Isobella]

I can't run with the big dogs.....y'all have better music than me =(

Except for the George Thorogood....that was perfect-LOL!!!
