What gets me through is incredible stubbornness - I just wont quit.

What I do to relax and let go is snuggle my hound. She loves being snuggled and returns the affection so everything else just melts away.

Durning tuff times I just try to stay really busy.
That way I don't have time to think about it.

My Partner (that's her in the photo, she is the blonde...) and my uncle Russell (some of you from the UK may just have seen him once or twice...  ) who has a lovely villa in Tuscany where I can go to chill out!

(PS - and yes he kind of really IS my uncle... I told you I had a sympathetic extended family.  )

Note the importance of the Giant Bar, anything less is just a waste. Nothing beats a night of chocolate and Buffy the Vampire Slayer dvds.

Alcohol...

oooooooh yea, and vicodin!

[rejennyrated]

oooooooh yea, and vicodin!

erm... sorry to be dim but what is vicodin?

[Janet_Girl]

Vicodin is a trademarked brand narcotic analgesic product containing hydrocodone and paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen). Vicodin is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.

Good stuff for pain, but addictive.

Good stuff for pain, but addictive.

Ah! thanks - That expains it. Like I say - sorry to be dim, but I saw it mentioned in a couple of threads and I wondered. I'm a bit of a medical minimalist myself... I don't really like taking even asprin so other than HRT I'm a bit clueless about meds.

Vinny and I are old friends thanks to my back.  I, personally, don't get high off it but here in the US, it is a Schedule III Controlled Substance.  And was recommended to be banned by the FDA advisory committee on June 30, 2009.  But as of yet the FDA has not banned it.

About 124 million prescriptions for Vicodin and its generic equivalents were written in the United States last year

That's just Vicodin, I didn't look up Percocet.

Yeah it's addictive but it also works really well. I would hope the fda would stay out of things and stop trying to idiot-proof the world, because Vicodin has greatly improved the quality of my life. I haven't seen Percocet in action yet, but I will soon.

Honestly if they banned it I would prolly buy it off the street until electro is done, it makes that much difference for me. If anything having to answer to a doctor and running the risk of NOT having it for electro is good motivation not to abuse it.
