Smart Recovery/Rational Recovery

Will the link to these sites be left here or is the entire thing being dumped??
For those of you that haven't checked it out click on the blue Smart Recovery or Rational Recovery links and take a look. I started working on the worksheets and don't know how long you guys at medhelp will be leaving this up. I have added it to favorites but had to ask anyhow!!!!
Love,
Amber
Hey, I even used CAPS instead of my lower case sloppiness when posting out of respect for this fine site dying a way to early death!

Another program y'all may wanna look into is AdAware. It finds all the spyware added to your computer when you visit websites. If you get too many spywares, they will slow down your computer, sometimes to the point it will be unusable. You can find AdAware at http://www.lavasoft.nu/ I run a check on my computer at least once a week. When I updated my AdAware definitions last week when they released the new ones, I found 45 new spywares on my computer. I had just run a check the day before with the old def. file, so this shows you just how many new companies are out there putting this **** on websites daily, so they can spy on your computer and have it send info to them, so they know all the websites you visit daily. (Again, with each spyware you get, your computer runs slower.)
Hope one or both of these programs help y'all.
In all of gods graces they will somehow find a way to leave this site open.
Although I know and have seen what Cindy & Phil have had to do to just keep this place CIVIL, let alone running smoothly and on its own accord.
If in fact this site does close for good, it will be greatly missed.
Ez-board forums and the like just aren't the same.
There is something special about a forum that really allows anybody and everybody to post on their good days, as well as bad. Yet with the same thing in mind help, support, and care for all...

I was just wondering a couple things:
1. Do you read THIS FAR down threads?
2. Think you could hook up the Addiction board section with a redirect to an active board?
Maybe that would be cool since you guys will probably be listed with the search engines still.
I ask, because next time Bmac gets loaded on women, he'll try to stumble back in here. And I'd sure hate for him not to have a place to hang out and rough the ladies up.
Peace,

Come on over and pay us a visit Mike. Your knowledgeable and humorous posts are always loved by all.
BTW... what time does Suzieeyes go to bed? And does her Webcam still work? OH YEAH!!
Man.. she is gonna beat me like a drum...
And yes Cindy reads this far down. BTW she is a babe, really.
Thanks Mike, Thanks Cindy Thanks Phil, goodnite Johnboy!
Are there any babes left here? Hello ladies!

Man.. 600mgs twice daily is a LOT of methadone, bud. I was on methadone for quite some time but only got up to 60, 1X daily. But, it's all relative.
The S L O W E R you come down, the better. Take breathers during your taper. If you start feeling sick, then hang at that level till your body adjusts. It will take quite a while to adjust to a lower level so if you can, take your time.
You are under a doctor's care, right? Once you get down to a low level, your blood pressure is probably going to go up for a while. Clonidine can help you with your blood pressure AND can help with some of the symptoms of detox.
You're probably going to need something like Klonopin to help keep your nerves in order along the way along with something to help you sleep. Also, stock up on Imodium. You're gonna need it for a while too.
Fatigue is going to become pretty tough for a bit, but it does get better. I'm 9 months clean from meth and can tell you that I am feeling better. It takes a while, but it does get better.
Just stay focused on your desired end result and TAKE YOUR TIME! "Slow" is the ticket.
Peace,
Methman
I'm posting up high in the threads in the hopes that you will see it. There is a limit to the amount of posts that each thread can handle here. Also, the end of the month, this place is going to shut down. HOWEVER, there is another board that everyone is going to.
Thomas, please post the link again for her.
You are not alone. There are MILLIONS of people that have felt as alone and lost as you, I for one. I wish I could tell you it will be easy. It won't. But I can tell you something that is better; It's possible.
Come to the new board. You'll find a LOT of support from people just like you. You don't have to go through this alone. Lots of us have "been there done that" and all we got was this crappy T-Shirt.
Looking forward to seeing you at the new spot!
Peace,
Methman
