Oh no! Jones, that natural high is called a "pink cloud", and IF you get it (I never did) it goes away. I know you realize that whatever drove you to abuse pills for so long will still be there (and more) when the pills are removed. No one can recover alone. No one.

Like Neveragain said, keep an opened mind.

Be careful hon.   Aftercare is really, really important.   You don't have to do the whole 12 step thing if it just doesn't work for you (although I'll be honest, I've never seen ANYONE who regretted working a 12 step program.)  

Getting clean is one thing.  STAYING clean is the big battle.  Keep an open mind to our suggestions...and good luck.  We're here for ya!

Okay..day one. Instead of three this morning just two. Feeling pretty good! I know there will be a little w/d but if it becomes too much I'll just bring it down to half a pill today. And I might be nieve but I believe in my heart that if I concor this I think I will be so proud and on such a natural high that I might not need aftercare.

I don't know,sorry? I don't see any stars? I only come on here on my mobile though so I might not have the full effect of this site as people with a computer might?

So tomorrow you start the taper?   Yay!

You're going to be just fine.   Drink lots of water, and keep busy.  

We got your back, Cheryl.  Everything is going to be okay.

Hugs,
