Setting limits like that is how I finally quit eating Percocet. First only 3 in the morning... At lunch, and again in the evening... Then 2 at lunch.... Then 2 at lunch and evening... Then 2 across the board... And so on, until I was only taking 1 a day. Each step down was when I felt like it... Not necessarily on any schedule. Just when I thought I could do it. It wasn't easy... Mind you. It was just do-able. For the record... This was down from like 3-5 at a time... Whenever I wanted them. I'm a decade sober and haven't touched an opiate since. It took me a time to feel normal, but the only day that really sucked for a minute was the day I told myself I wasn't going to take even my 1. Your liver will thank you. You will be proud of your accomplishment. It's worth it.
