Some may think that 1,2 or 3 perks a day is not much but I have been doing it since I discovered them through dental pain and then sson after my spouse left and I saw how they helped my "mood". That was a year and a half ago now and I have never made it past 3 days with out any.
This time, I am doing this on my own and cgoosing to stop because I want a normal life back. What am I useing to help? PRESCRIBED low dose xanax at night (have never abused it, it just makes me tired and helps with high anxiety). IB profin, I have over the counter med for restless legs but have not used yet.
On this day 2 I am feeling I have slept way to much which is now making my body restless. I dont feel like seeing anyone, talking to anyone, I just feel like hiding. I really do hope this will pass after a few days. I truly need support starting tomorrow because I have never made it past the 3 day mark with our caving in. I spoke to soon in my post last night because the diareah started about an hour after I wrote in.
Here are some things I said to my self before deciding to stop this.
1. I am tired of never having any money to myself.
2. tired of a pill controlling my life.
3. tired of putting a pill before relationships.
4, tired of doing things against my own morals.
When I started taking the little evil white things, I told myself I am not the addictive type, I was 43 years old and had never had any problem with any pill, I stopped drinking on my own in my twenties and there was no way I could be an addict ... NO WAY.
HA! guess what? I AM and ADDICT. It can happen to ANYONE at ANY age. personally I think all pain meds should only come in the form of shots and then pills would not be so easily accessible (just an idea).
Forgive my typo's because my hands are shaking.
If you are here for the first time on this board, and say maybe you have only been using a very short time, PLEASE know the damage they can do and stop taking them.
It's like alcahal for many, one is to many and 50 is never enough.
I am just at the beginning and have a lot of work to do. I will keep posting. Thank you for support.

I think your doing great, and you want to, and will get your life back. But try not to blame yourself, and if you slip just keep getting up, and i think you should really be slowly weened off of them. Its so much easier and more comfortable. And getting counselling for addiction helps too. I know ive only been clean for 30 days but after two years of using every day and huge amounts, I couldnt have stopped without the support of someone who wont judge you and who will guide you in the right direction.
I wish you all the best, and you are taking huge steps so thats a sign that you have it in you to get your life back!! :)
