Thanks for filling me in. I've been off the hydros for a week and feeling pretty good. Keep up your NA work. I am following the board and some work with a friend on the phone. It's a long story but staying private is not as easy for me as for some. It's truly not an excuse. I am always so fear based. Afraid of having the crutch of the pills and afraid of not having that same crutch. I don't know if that makes any sense. My life feels so hard. Business is bad, I work diligently everyday and it just seems to go no where. I want all the stimulus stuff to work and just hope and pray everyone changes their habits and starts buying stuff. Anything. Houses, cars, furniture, whatever. Banks need to get their act together. I deal with them everyday and no wonder they are all out of money. They waste so much time and energy and use so many attorneys for every little move. Sorry for going off like that. I'm frustrated in so many ways. FC Hang in there, You seem like a really great guy and I remeraber you from before. The pride in your posts after each day of your recovery was so inspiring. Again, go back there and read those. You were amazing and will be again. We will all come out of this stronger, healthier and with more resolve than ever before. Everyone, have a great weekend. Love your frienRAB and family, take a deep breath or a long walk and love being you.

for you.....because I know just how you feel. I would give up the norco completely , but my chronic pain will not allow that! As soon as I get to 6 a day....home free. I know the guilt, tired of being tired, confusion, scared....and certainly not wanting to send up red flags to the docs. Here's my take.....if you don't plan on taking any pain meRAB. Anymore for your medical condition....you have to make that horrible choice...weening or cold turkey. Me personally will only taper down to six...not jump right to six and make myself sick. I am a homemaker so I don't have to worry about looking like I am ok at work.....but...I am a wife and mother...I won't put my family through that hell ever again. If your so upset over how to approach this doc....get more 5/500....to help with the weening off of Oxycotin.....then you can still set a goal and function at the same time. Remeraber in the past two months I weened off completely 120 mg. Oxycotin per day....personally for me....it was hell even still taking my norco....for me I had never taken oxycotin before...always hydro.....the withdrawls for me were totally different....and horrible mentally real bad....I have to be honest....this is just me sharing my recent experience. Please let me know how your doing? Just to let you know....the oxycotin had me an emotional reck as well.....it is a different tamale.....hydro. Never made me feel that put of it.....even when I went cold turkey with the hydro.....just remeraber...for me the oxycotin is a whole new ball game! Post soon!
