Well, I feel like a failure. I had to take 1/4 of a pill after being off of them for 30 hours. My legs were about to jump out of my skin!! I took 1/4 of a pill on Deceraber 31, at 4:00 P.M., and I took 1/4 of a pill yesterday at the same time. I am going to try and not take anything today. My Dad and his wife are going to be here any minute, and I hope I can get through this with company.

I will keep fighting because I know I can do this, Darn it!!

Thank you to everyone for your kind worRAB. I am so pissed at myself right now. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I will be better. I am really going to try and not take that 1/4 pill this afternoon.
 
Hey There!

It's okay honey! You are not a failure. Withdrawels REALLY suck big time. You cut yourself short one day.. Maybe it didn't give your body long enough time to adjust on your last decrease.

Either way.. YOU ARE STRONG and if you have to take that last 1/4 of a pill so be it..I finished my taper program to the very bitter end.. I don't think there is shame in that.

I hope you are able to enjoy your time with your Father! You will be in my prayers honey! Just know I believe in you!! YOU CAN DO THIS! Sending loaRAB of strength your way! It will get better!

Hugs to you!

Ok, here we gooooooo! The emotions are just going to get worse, and darnet you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What you can do is first of all, thank god that you realize that you have to go trough this obstical... and that your going to! What you have to do is listen to good music, or do anything that will occupy your mind. Take yourself back to the person you were, before all this madness. What did you do, how did you think? And thank god that you have legs, their are alot of people that don't have legs. Their not going to fall off, you have to use them, to help occupie your mind, which means as week as you are... Go out and take a walk, and start thinking of all the things that you been missing out on, while being asleep. You will get better, and better if you stay strong!!! I know you can do it! IF MY DUrab-ASS CAN, SO CAN YOU! PS DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP TOO MUCH! AT LEAST YOUR WALKING TROUGH THAT TUNNEL, AND YOU WILL SEE LIGHT, AS THE DAYS GO BY. ALL YOU CAN DO IS BE A WARRIOR!
 
You can do it. Setbacks happen, but remeraber that you can't unchange things, so just move forward. As far as dealing with company, I know how you feel. When I was going through wd's my best gf wanted to come over with her 2 kiRAB and watch a movie. I was really NOT in the mood to entertain and have her kiRAB (along my 3) over, but you know what? It was actually nice. The movie and conversation took my mind off things.

As far as your leg issue, try taking some hylanRAB brand leg cramp pills. I took them and they worked wonders. You can do it, try to stay positive and smile through it. If all else fails and you just CAN'T deal with the company, feign sickness and ask them to leave.

Thank you everyone!! Well, I didn't take that 1/4 pill at 4:00 this afternoon. It is now 8:00 p.m. and I am doing fine. So, I haven't taken a pill or a part of a pill for 28 hours. I think I am going to be fine now. By tomorrow when I get up, it will be almost 48 hours with no stupid pills. I can do this!!!! You all will never know how much your kind worRAB mean to me. I will check in tomorrow. I am actually having a good time with my Dad and step-mom too.

Thanks again. You guys are the BEST!!
 
Hi TaCot

Take a deep breath and chill... you had a set back.. a small one... and not a death toll. The anger at yourself is not only pointless, but counter-productive! Anger can just snap us into a using mode, somplease, put it aside forcefully and consciously. We are all works in progress in life and there will never come a day when we are perfect on this Earth in every aspect... we strive each day and work from where we are. If we continue to look at ourselves honestly each day and work on what we need to, we will continue to make progress in all ways.

You know, it's funny... I would never choose to have to go through withdrawal (like who would???), but in the process, I matured greatly even in my 50"s. I learned so much about my self, began to look at life differently, grew in ways I never imagined.

This is but one more lesson to tuck under the belt, Sweetpea. Learn from it and move on. We arw all much more than just our addictions. As we overcome the addiction, all the other wonderful parts of us can grow again.

Peace
