Why is this so hard to do when i want to quit taking these pain meds? I keep going up and down.First i cut down for a couple days and feel really crappy until i go back up and then i am fine.

"At first, we were using in a manner that seemed to be social or at least controllable...At some point, our using became uncontrollable and anti-social...We may have tried to moderate, substitute or even stop using, but we went from a state of drugged success and well-being to complete spiritual, mental and emotional bankruptcy...We had to reach our bottom, before we were willing to stop."
For me, until the illusion that I could control my addiction or recover on my own was broken, I was forced to continue doing it my way and my way didn't work.
