please help..percocet predicament

I am so disgusted and mentally over taking percocet. But physically it isn't that easy. Have been taking about 12-14 5/325's for about 10 months. Lesser amounts before that. Have legitimate spine issues but would rather feel that pain than feel like garbage after taking all these pills. It may not be as much as others but its more than enough for me. no easy answer, i know. but ive had enough. suggest telling pcp?

Hey curlygirl! How are you? Thanks again for checking up on me. I've found Such wonderful and supportive friends on here. You are definitely a source of encouragement. i appreciate you and your enthusiasm for my recovery.  hope all is well with you! :)

And Laurel, once again I feel like you know just what to say and how to say it. Thanks so much for everything. I will continue to work on ME, and I actually had my first counseling session today. it went great. i didnt hold back. i figured this is my chance to say all i want without  worrying about others reactions, like on here. i might as well take advantage of it. i am doing all i can to stay positive and move on. and honestly 95%of the time has been just fine.. im excited for tomorrow. literally. i bought a leaf blower and cant wait to use it! pretty exciting, i know. .. but it keeps me busy and i feel like ive accomplished something at home!  take care my friend. and thanks a million!  :)

You have done it....you can definitely pat yourself on the shoulder and jump up and down and say "Yes!" at the top of your voice........You should take your knowledge and be a mentor for others in the same boat!.....
Way to go !!!

To day to try: thanks so much! And you're absolutely right, I wonder why I didn't do this sooner. But maybe I wouldn't have gotten this far, maybe I wasn't ready then. I certainly thought  about it before now, but didn't feel like I could do it. I honest to god came across this site by accident. I started reading others posts, and thought to myself, " I need this. I need a place like this." And it just went from there. Reading how everyone else was in the same situation, in some form or other, was so comforting. I didn't have to be alone and I didn't have to lie. It gave me strength. And, hearing about ways to help with wds made them seem bearable. I knew life didn't have to be the way it was anymore...and all the people on here were my proof. I didn't get too many responses in the beginning. Janet certainly got my wheels turning. But I didn't care about the number of responses. I just kept posting, kept reading. Dark eyed Creature was incredibly helpful and helped me so much while I was struggling with how I  would begin the process. And then Laurel, she's been so positive and reminds me just about every day that I can do this.  So I've been lucky. Everyone who's said anything to me has really been so helpful in this whole process. I have so much to live for. And being clean makes me realize just how much I have. I won't be naive and think I'm out of the woods yet. I know ill have days where I'm tempted or just be "blah", but I wouldn't trade what I have now for anything. I'm just happier. I don't wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. So, I'm on day 10 today, DOUBLE DIGITS! And it keeps getting better! I cant wait for the holidays this year.
So thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it so much!  Have a good day!

Wow, I can't believe I've missed this whole thread.  Wonderful readynow81.  I'm so proud of you.  You are doing so good.  So how many days clean does that make now?    It just keeps getting better and better from here on out.  You'll look back and go, "Why in the heck didn't I do this sooner?"

Good job!!!
