Hi!!! I sent you a private message, we have lots in common!!!
Just a suggestion if it's needed, a fire safe is even better than a good hiding spot. I know me, so I knew I needed a lock I couldn't pick. Since I am not professional thief, a fire safe works great for my medication to be stored in. Although, he might want to hide the safe as well, not because of you getting in it (that is something only a professional can do) but "out of sight, out of mind" kind of thing.
Hi,
Good for you for taking the first step.
Know that even though you are doing a taper of sorts, you will have withdrawal. Also be aware that as you drop your dose, you will begin to feel the effects of the withdrawal. I hope hubby is strong and has a good "hiddy" spot.
Keep up the good work and if you begin to feel a little crumby, let us know and we can give you some tips.
And, it is possible to have a pain free day. There are alternatives to pain meds. You need the find what works for you, i.e. acupuncture, physical therapy, etc.
