Hey guys, so I'm actually a pretty light user. I started doing norco recreationally maybe a bit over a year ago. For a while it was every weekend, then it was every two days, then it was every other day, and for the past 6 months its been everyday. I only take one dose a day at the exact same time, and currently I'm only at 20mg. No big deal right? But heres the thing, my source of pills is running out and I won't be able to get more for a very long time, if at all.
I'm honestly not really looking to quit, I just want to save some for a month from now or so. First off, my tolerance is growing slowly but surely and is in dire need of a break. Secondly, the periods where I can't get any norco are absolute hell for me, and I have something coming up in May that I don't want to be feeling that way for.
Every day I wake up thinking I'm not going to take any today, and I end up arguing with myself for the whole day, and somehow I end up taking them anyway (today was another failed attempt). It kind of feels like I'm going insane over these things sometimes. Like I said, its a small amount (theyre 5/325mg pills, I take 4 at a time), however it scares me that I literally can't seem to go a single day without them anymore. And the idea of going more than a day just sounds like the most depressing thing in the whole world. Even if its only one dose, my whole day revolves around thinking of that dose. If I'm having a good day or a bad day, it doesn't matter -- as long as I get to look forward to my dose. I always eat dinner right after taking them, in order to potentate them, so I associate meals with them as well.
I think my problem is that I don't WANT to quit. I love the way norcos don't make me care about anything else. I'm just stressed out over lack of resources. And something about that is making me feel depressed along with my high. But its a lose lose situation -- I know even if I got more, its only going to get worse and its going to be harder to get off them later down the road. I clearly don't even have the strength to do it now. Yet I don't want to wait until I've lost more to this habit. I already feel embarrassed and irritated that it's gone as far as it has.
Have you ever quit or known someone who has? What made you want to? How do you let go of something that makes you feel so good?
Thanks for any input.
