Hey Ash - thanks for inquiring. I went "off taper" a tad on Friday and Saturday. But, the good news is, I went back to 13.75mgs yesterday, and I'm back on that today as well. Probably going to go to 12.5 later this week. Oddly enough, before I just checked your post, I was asking myself, "What am I going to do once I don't have my nice buzz in the evenings?" Now mind you, right now I've simply taken my normal evening taper: 10mgs with a rum and coke. But, having that and listening to some music is SOOOOOO gosh-damned nice. My troubles/stress simply seem to vanish - I know everyone here can relate. Quite frankly, it fills the void. Part of me is scared (especially now that my taper is becoming lower) that I won't be able to "fill that void". I know that's just fear ... there's so much life has to offer. I can continue to write short stories, play the guitar, go surfing, workout, hang out with my son, take a cooking class. But ... it's so nice to have this "warm, fuzzy blanket-of-a-feeling" while just sitting down relaxing. A big part of me thinks I need to reconnect with my 12-Step meetings, but I'm not really sure that's the direction I want to take it. Although there's some positive aspects, I personally had a few issues with the group dynamics in those meetings. Oh well, just thought I'd check in - and again, thanks for asking for an update - it's appreciated. I hope you're well, my friend.
