There are not many experiences in my life more full of pain than going cold turkey off of meRAB. The withdrawl symptoms, the pure suffering, is like a personal walk through hell. I'm sure all identify with this description to some degree.
As I read the personal experiences of others taking this walk, trying to take this walk or just contemplating taking this walk through hell to get to the other side, I wonder, is it something that can be done without any pain? Is tapering something that can be done without pain and suffering? I don't know personally, I've never tapered. I just never had the patience!
I have long felt that the pain endured through the whole ordeal was a necessary result of the body and mind readjusting to their normal functions after being medicated for a length of time long enough to cause addiction.
I have my own personal beliefs on the purposes of pain in our existience and although I am definitely not someone who delights in pain, my own or anyone else's, I do believe that it has a tremendous usefulness and if experienced in the minRABet of understanding it's porpose, it can actually have positve results where our experience of this pain and suffering pushes us foward in the goals of our lives.
When it comes to the point of making that choice of either staying addicted to drugs or trying to resume a life unclouded by drugs that slowly steal your life away, I think pain is already part of the equation. I also know that to continue the addiction will produce more pain, no matter how measured, than the pain that is experience through withdrawls.
So, faced with a tough decision? Pain is part of the equation! Has been, will be, ironic? Most of us began by trying to get rid of it.
Make the choice, then prepare yourself and those around you. Make a plan and follow through. The pain and suffering of withdrawls will pass in a very short time and very soon you will be looking back holding your head up high, knowing that you are part of a small group of people who have walked through hell and are now willing to help and support those others, like ourselves, who have found themselves in this position. Hope and blessings to all!
