Failedtaper,
I completely agree with your comment about the oxys in the morning. I became so used to taking that sooooo important "morning dose" that I find the morning to be one of my toughest parts of withdrawal. However, I am just pushing through that feeling and realizing it will get better.
Yes, restricting access will definitely help in the future. The less encounters I have, the better. And I truly find peace and strength in the NA meetings. They really do help and I'm trying hard to work the steps. Did you attend NA?
