I've been through hell since I was 14 with this. Well, MAINLY this. I am just now admitting to myself that I need support if I am ever going to stop for good.
At the moment I get prescribed percocet for pain and klonopin for anxiety. They are both things that help me, but with my history of being hardcore addicted to morphine and xanax when I was 14- almost 16, it is so hard for me to not run to the bottle every time I am upset.
I want to quit. I don't want this burden any longer. I want to be able to cope better.
The thing that sucks is that I can't tell my doctors because they wont give me the meds anymore. Literally, percocet is the only thing that helps my pain- and yes, I have tried many others. And the klonopin is something I need for my panic attacks.
I want to be better. I want to be well.
Any ideas?

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
There is a theory that the more pain pills you take the more the body wants them so if we try and cut down or stop it will make the body hurt so we will take some. some of your pain you feel is this not your injury trust me, sure i still have pain but it is better beleive it or not and i have had surgeries i have pins holding my neck together and a back that is all tore up.
You have to pick you cant be on pain pills and want to be drug free
.
You said i NEED these for pain and i am telling you that no you WANT them for pain. There are other methods that you can use for anxiety attacks, you need to change your way of thinking, you are stuck with the thought this is the only thing i can use but you need to want to change there are other ways to control these issues and it will be an trial and error.
I am here if you need me
My goal is today to take just the amount the doctor has told me to. Hopefully less. I want to be able to do my PT and go for a walk. I don't know how to cope with the pain otherwise.
I'm working on the stress thing. Today will be a trial and a half but I know I can do it.
I'll give you and update of how I've done.
