I totally agree!! Everyone is different. You can't predict what your withdrawal will be like by comparing it to someone else's. But...it WILL give you some insight as to HOW it can be if you let your addiction go any further! Some ppl have a terrible time, while others walk away with their feathers just a little ruffled. Those ppl that have a hard time, they've probably been at it for a very long time. If you can walk away with just some ruffled feathers, take it and run, the knowledge you've gained here from others who did have a hard time should always be a reminder as to why you don't want to stay on that broken path. Good post glassguy!! Great post actually....
Thanks sweetness I just wanted all to know that everyone is different. Hope I wasn't wrong!!!
Well I sure thought this was a great point to make. As addicts, we all want answers, and we want them now. But if we were all the same, and we all had the same experiences life would be pretty damn boring. Lol. We can let others know what we have been through in hopes that it will help someone, and at the end of the day, that's about all we can do. Well...that...and pray! :)
Amen!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Awesome comment GlassGuy. Everyone IS different...that's why it is important to newcomers to read all the advice and then use the advice that suits best and/or tweak it.
The last week was made much more bearable for me because of all the different kinds of replies that I received. Not only did it give me something to do (researching answers) but it has given me faith back in human nature. It is amazing to me that we can see someone refuse to help animals, seniors or children in need...and then we have a forum like this one...where everyone cares!
