Day EIGHT! 15 month record!!!

[SFgirll853]

I have been posting here since March and have failed going CT from Norco 3 times.  I havent made it more than 4 days without refilling a script and creping back up to 8 to 10 pills a day.  Today is day 8 with no Norco!  What is even better is that my back and neck pain is pretty much gone!  I have no pills in the house, no script to fill and feel great.  Thank you to everyone who has supported me through CT and relapse and CT and relapse.  I cant believe I made it through WD... wow.  THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I think the best thing for me is/was my children.  They have kept me so busy that I had no choice but to power through the WD's and nap when they nap.  One day I put them both down about 45 minutes early ;-).  I also went camping last weekend and then my Mom come for a visit (which is what MADE me go CT ahead of time in the first place!).  Busy busy busy busy.

Now to the present...day eleven.... and I am having a rough one.  I made it though the WD's, which really was miserable, but I still get the chills of and on.  Today I am really friggin' tired too.  The busy has worn off and I am CRAVING a pill.  Thank god I dont have any.  I am sure I could call the pharmacy and request a refill and the doc would approve it.  This is really tough s***.  Yesterday I was on top of the world and today I feel at the bottom.  

Tomorrow is my sons 5th bday and saturday is his bday party so the busy busy will pick up again.  Its like I cant be alone or idle or my mind wanders to the dark place that begins to justify getting meds.  sigh..........

CONGRATS again, im happy for you.
