Haven't been here in a long time...

...  But just wanted to share that it has been 472 days away from lortab.  I am using other, non-narcotic means to deal with my chronic pain and am glad for it.  

To any out there who feel overwhelmed at the thought of quitting, remember to only tackle one day at a time and don't try to contemplate the future.  Before you know it, the drug use will only be a bad memory and you will find yourself happier and healthier.

Yay!
I also have not been here in so long and have 286 days today. Bad thing is I am still on the sub which was my way out but I am down to 1mg a day only so any time now I should be done, Im just so scared to take the final leap!

To all, thanks for the kind words.  It has been tough but every day got easier.  I take motrin and tylinol for my chronic pain, doesn't do much but is non-addictive!

Also it is great to hear from old friends here!

And troubleinohio, I do remember that night!  Unfortunately it is something we all have in common.
