I'm starting over again and am on day 3 of no pain meds. I was doing pretty good but recent surgery got me back on them stronger than I was before.
I see that it only gets worse...but, I miss the comfort they gave me. Eventually, I know the comfort will turn to pure hell...but, right now I can't see that. Anyway, I am trying so hard to do this...just not sure if I can hang in there.

i have the same problem. Its not easy, i had to get on methadone to get my mind off it. recently i stopped cold turkey, i thought pain meds hurt like hell coming off of. you know what i do everytime i think about taking a pill? i remember EVERTIME i start again, is the pain worth it when i am all out. Dont you feel good about the last 3 days. you only have a few more days to go if your physically dependant on it. email me if you need any advise. i can help. also call the person above, get all the support you can get. your doing the best thing you can ever do.
