Kelleigh - I wrote you a post right after I saw your message this morning...but not only didn't it go thru....but my entire compute froze up! Wow! That's some "hot" problem you have!! LOLOL!! :-) Anyway, everyone has already said the things I had written,,,so I won't be repetitive. But..you haven't ruined a THING! Don't count days like you have been doing --i.e, 100 days--where you land up feeling so stressed out for taking a pain reliever your body needed. It's not an endurance test. Besides..you took "one"--not "one hundred"!!! :-) But now may be the time to get involved with your pain doctor (do you have one?) and figure out a long-term strategy, using non-addictive drugs. The doctor you are seeing has a great idea with this pill counting!!! What a cheat-proof plan!!! You get enough for pain relief--but you don't overuse them.

So...please don't think you "ruined" anything!! You have done a wonderful job getting off the Meth, etc. I've read that the drug meth. can be such a miracle worker for some people...but not if it wasn't right for you. (I believe it has helped Chef so much.) Take care...and take it easy! :-) love, Lynn
