Well, it has been 24 hours since I took any hydrocodone and I feel pretty good. My legs were a little achy last night, but nothing like I thought it would be. I quit a day early because I just couldn't see taking one-half of a pill today. No more pill bottle tagging along with me. What a relief!!!

For everyone out there who doesn't know my story, I started tapering the first week of Noveraber, and have had little withdrawal symptoms the whole time. I was taking six pills per day at that time. My whole attitude has changed. I am a more loving person, according to my husband; and I don't get aggitated nearly as easy. What a great day today is! Drug-free!!!!

Secrets and Reach: You guys are wonderful. I am so committed to this and so excited to have it over too!!! I might just have a drink tonight!
 
Dear TaCot

I am celebrating this with you! It is, indeed, a momentous occasion in our lives when we are able to say goodby to something that has had more control on us than is deserved. What a way to ring in the New Year!

As you are in the process of discovering, it is the fear of not being with the pills that is the greatest barrier to overcoming their hold on us. Life without them is just so much freer and happier than with them.

Goodbye to the old thinking, hello to the new.

Hugs and happisedt congratulations to you.

Love

Reach: I can't thank you enough for helping me. I keep going back and reading your posts to me over and over again. I truly believe it was because of your posts to me that I quit a day earlier than planned. You have been a God send to me. My legs are driving me crazy right now, so I will get up and walk around again. It is nothing that I can't handle, though. I keep telling myself, this too shall pass.

Happy New Year to you, Reach. And God bless you for your worRAB. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!:cool::cool:

I had the last few days off of work but I thought about you a lot! Yesterday when I woke up... you were actually the first person I thought of... I said a prayer that your first day with out the pills was one of great joy and strength! Little did I know you were already on Day 2!!! Good for you!

You have so much to be proud of and have come so far! Just know I am throwing a party for you today in my heart and will always continue to be here for you!

Happy New Year to you! You have a lot to celebrate now!

TaCot, Congrats to you and much love to you. I also tapered off and for me the last pill scared me to death, but yet it was such a relief and joy to be done. I had tried many times to quit and went ct and the wd's were horrible, I was hooked for over 10yrs and have been clean for months now. I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you and your in my prayers. I thank God for this board and everyone on it, it's been a God-send for me. LOL, Fiesty
