Well, I might have made it over the mt;););). Yesterday was ok, but waking up this am I felt different. My stomach and body are still a mess, but I am getting a good nights sleep and that helps. I have to be real careful with the BENZO that I have because its helped me go to sleep each night with a OTC sleeping aid and that is a bad habit. Needed in my mind, previously to JUST GET BY, but now that I am out of the worst of it, I need to stick to true natural OTC sleep stuff. So, here I am on Sat. Another week has gone by. Boy, this is a PROCESS that you need to be prepared for. If you are not 100% into this you will not make it. I mean it. BUT, we all reach that point some time. I think if you post that first post you are 1/4 the way there, if you keep posting and establish a plan you are 1/2 way there and if you implement your plan and stick to it, you are 3/4 the way, then the rest varies from person to person. Going CT, tapering, SUB, Methadone,- these all get you to the ultimate goal- Being CLEAN. plain and simple.

Heres to a good day --i hope!

Congratulations - looks like your working through phase 1. Now, phase 2 starts... the mental and physical craving that you have to fight through, followed by any long term w/d's (like I have) that may pop up. Phase 3 thru Phase 7,965,498,675,643 are just staying clean and drug free. Sign up for some NA meetings and make some frienRAB that you can call and talk to if you start getting into a bad position and you need help. We're, of course, always here to help out.

My lingering physical w/d's have diminished to zero with the Benzo, plus I get a good night's sleep. I've already started to cut back on it and I think this is the 3rd day that I've taken it. I wish I had this earlier on when I had the bad withdrawals and I was up for 40 hours.

Glad to hear that you are progressing - just keep moving toward the goal. Yes it REALLY is a process - something that I was never warned about or expected. Once I get rid of this last w/d (abdominal contractions) it will be over for me other than remerabering to stay clean for the rest of my life!!
