Oh wow, Aveo, I didn't quite know what you were going through, huge internet hugs your way. My migraine is finally gone, hallelujah! Just in time for me to have my one niece (13), two nephews (11 and 12 months) and of course my own five year old coming for a sleepover tonight...can I handle three kids and a baby....stay tuned....
Actually it will be fine, I am really great with kids!
Thank you! Its ok now, I am on the brighter side. My sun came out on my long dark walk down this road. Sounds like you have a great night planned and you got relief just in time
You've done really well aveo to manage to be able to use the site too and moderate while getting clean. Hope you manage to keep going.
I long for the day that I am finally off my meds too, scared though, hopefully it wont take too long to finally get off the benzos and keep everything else purely recreational with no abuse.
It is intimidating, thats for damn sure, Mugz. I wish you the best of luck when the day comes and you say your ready to quit. Dont rush it tho. In fact, if you even just started making the plans up for when you are ready, that gets you even one step closer to the day you long for. Like design your own taper schedules, get notes ready to hand to your doctors, plans to develop coping mechanisms,etc... Basically just get your plan ready so that when your ready, its less stressful. Plus its harder to think about things, especially little things like what your going to do when your having sleep issues or the like (not saying you will, just saying).
I really wish I would have done this before I let it get this far. I could have just floated my way out of this instead of almost 7 days of hell. But its over for me. I wasn't ready to do this either. Like I was, but I wasn't. I knew where I was going and how it would have ended, but for me to make any practical change, I have to have the bottom fall out on me and learn the hard way. I will most def. not forget how hard this was and will be.
I am sad to say that come this Monday, when I enter into treatment, I will have to abandon my mod duties for at most 3-4 weeks. I wont even have my phone. Just a phone card to call out with on a pay phone.
Thats what is gonna suck the most. No cell phone, no ipod, no laptop. Just me and my thoughts
I have come this far though, I am a few steps closer to home and starting the next chapter of my life. The road is still long, but I will come out on top and stay there
