Starting to get emotional

[indone2642]

So I have been weaning of these evil pills and I am starting to feel it.  Not just physically, but emotionally.  I cried when I say a roach on it's back dying.  Really.....I fricken hate roaches!  This is going to be a long haul :(

Sorry that you're going through all of this, but it is normal.
One thing to point out - and maybe it's too soon - but the pills aren't "evil". They are dust, nothing. We are the ones who abuse, and unfortunately that's because we are addicts. I would bet that during most of the time you were using, you were fully aware of what you were doing and the path the pills were taking you on. Again, this is an emotional time, but we all eventually have to take responsibility for our actions. This makes us much stronger and allows us to face life much easier.

One addict helping another and so on. That's how it works. I'm glad you found your way here. Keep talking if it helps.

It gets a little slow around this time but others will come on in a bit.

Thanks a bunch.  It does help to come here and vent and everyone is so nice offering advice on how to deal with this.

I forgot to say: Hang in, it really does get better and you are worth it!!!

I don't know what you are tapering from and where you are in that process but I can tell you this normal. Tapering is tricky business. I am one of those people that just has to pull the band aid off. I could not taper.

But you made the decision to go this route. Stay strong and stick with it. Come on and talk like this when your feelings are coming out. It is really helpful.
