SMILE

[confused456]

I wanted to post because I feel the pain of all the "new" people on here! It is a very hard road but it is something that can be won!! I feel so good and so positive right now! I have had such a hard time emotionally but things right now for me seem great!! I posted pictures today of the things I have in my life that I am once again enjoying to do! I was missing the enjoyment for so long and it is back!
I am so happy that I am finding that enjoyment again! My life is so much better now and I really want people to know that there is happiness after drugs!
Hang in there and keep posting, talking, reading, jamming to music, anything that you can to keep your mind off pills, and to keep you as happy as possible while you go through this.

Wishing everyone all the best!!!!!!

Thank you everyone! I am so glad that this post has made a positive mark!

Lukey...hang in there!! I actually did a VERY fast taper from the hydro's. I do think it helped, but it was only a 7 day taper. You WILL get to where you are happy with your life and your CLEAN life at that! You are such a wonderful person and I have oodles of faith in you!! You CAN and WILL make it!!

HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!

I would like to say something and I hope I don't offend anyone and start anything negative. I honestly envy those who quit cold turkey, got thru it and are doing well, or slowly getting there. I so wish I could have done that. I hate being on the Subs. Don't get me wrong, they saved my life and I am thankful for them to no end, I just wish I would have had the strength like some of you to just c/t and get it over with.  And many times I wish I would have done the quick taper on the Subs, but I didn't know about that.   So here I am 4 months later still on 12 mg. I hate the taste, i hate the melt........all of it. Just plain old getting sick of it all and depending on it. Therefore the decision to start my taper. Slow one at that.....I yearn to have a success story but unfortunately that is going to take some time.

always good to hear folks like yourself speak that it does get better when one keeps up the good fight! Too often it's easy to focus in on the negative while detoxing  but when folks likes yourself speak of how it can/does get better it really does give hope and encouragement to others to keep up the good fight!

Thanks for all your sharing and support, keep up the great work!
