I had a job I hated. I worked 7 days a week, almost always. I hit my 'cruising altitude' of daily narcotic use (Vicodin, Percocet, Liquid Morphine/Roxanol 20mg/ml) about 2 months into the job. I stayed at my dosing level of about 60mg of of oral morphine and 4-7 percocets and/or vicodins (varying strengths but always a solid dose) per shift for the duration of my job. After 3+ years, I quit the job, and got a new job that was far less onerous psychoemotionally. Also very important to note is that I extricated myself at the same time from a very unpleasant domestic environment. When I quit my job and changed my living situation, I stopped narcotic pain reliever completely, 100%, with no taper period.
