In the end, I had to tell my sister what was up and go and stay at hers for a couple of weeks, just so I would be forced to go through the sweating and sleepless nights without having the easy way out. I was the master of telling myself that I'd do it tomorrow, then Friday would come and I'd promise that I'd definitely sort it on Monday.
People know what is going on, it just requires something extra to deal with it.

...hmm, I think for me it's that 'haziness' that made me stop taking them..I can't understand getting addicted to that feeling or not feeling in control...it makes you feel like you're not you...and I would never want to feel that...I did take a few again recently to control the pain but I set myself a 'limit' of how many days I would take etc and kind of set those days aside to be pain free but spaced out....but I don't think I could ever 'lose sight' or lose focus of the fact that it was a temporary thing or 'enjoy' how they make you feel...
