OK I’ll try to answer the questions, if I miss one, no offense intended

I was taking about 40-50 mg per day on average (not always EVERY day but often) of hydrocodone. It's not a lot but it's enough to cause a few problems in stopping taking them. On the other days, I would usually take a few darvocet or a percocet (which I don’t have much of anyway). I think it’s been about 2-3 months (?) that I’ve been on this routine. The last few months have just been awful for me, I wake up feeling like I was ate by a wolf and pooped off a cliff LOL So I’d hobble out of bed and take something.
The worst part is, my husband seems to think I do this for fun, as though I am looking for a buzz; sorry hun, for the most part, I take these things to feel normal, he just doesn’t get it and isn’t even super supportive in this “holiday”, ("you did it to yourself" - yes I am aware of that sweetheart .) it’s crummy because I feel horrible and wouldn’t mind a little TLC

Hey, I am cool with the idea of a few threads to motivate each other, hopefully DB is too; it’s tough and support is paramount to getting through it sometimes.

I do think holidays help. For one thing, a holiday if taken at an interval closer than what I did here (say every 4 weeks) will keep you from a horrible physical dependence, and when you return to your regular opiates, your tolerance will be lowered some. It tends to jump back up quicker than we might like but it’s something, which IMO is better than nothing. I think holidays are a wise idea. I just waited too long [DOH!]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
