It is such a freeing feeling to wake each day without my first thought being "how many pills do i have today" and "Oh my God, I am running low"!
They do not consume my thoughts anymore...

Stick around, find a way to get off of them (the previous posts are good ideas) and then the hard part; STAY OFF OF THEM!

I wish you the best and will keep you in my thoughts....
hi amymarie and thanks so much for posting. you speak facts and everything everybody says on these threads fit me to a tee. thats the first thing i also think of in my waking moments is how many can i take, and how many do i have left. jesus, if i put that much effort into anything, i could be president. it really is a sickness that im still in the unimaginable state that i can overcome this, but i have to before i start doing heroin, which i have had the opportunity to do, but always told myself this is one thing i cant do. if i did, i might as well shoot myself in the head now. thanks again, and ill keep you posted. oreo
