Cape Canaveral here: 38 hours and counting

Can't begin without thankin you all - no way I'd be at even this stage of infancy in withdrawal if it wasn't for all your caring, wisdom, honesty, spirituality, humour, and experience... when I first arrived here I thought WHAT am I doing reading/writing with all these dunno-what's!!  NOW I feel honored that you even consider me worthy to be part of such an exceptionally fine group of time-toughened folks who haven't let it tarnish their hearts'o'gold one iota...       AS for me... I'm on hour 38 of chilled gobbler... feeling achy back, legs, neck - a few bouts of leg thrashing cured by the next dose of valium... mostly sleeping, took three hot showers (thank Heavens the shower here in my hideout has great pressure!) I have no motivation to do anything (except write here and letters to one lifesaving friend) and just worried that when it gets really bad my hideout daze will be over and I'll hafta rejoin my life and how will I make the switch from mr. inspiration to mr. grey??  the torture's definitely in the manageable zone at least for now... got my books, tunes, prayers, y'name it... but all I'm doing is drinking water, sleeping, and valium...   Good Luck Everybody!!!  Thank You from the bottom of my Heart!!    Nefesh

welcome back!  like the new look here?  yesss, I've actually gone and leaped off the ledge, leaned off the cliff, taken the plunge... thanks to you and all the fine folks here - never coulda even tried without y'all... starting to feel kinda lousy again so methinks it's time for another little blue valium to take the edge off... so far waking up from my troubled slumbers is the hardest, when the reality of where I am/what I'm doing here comes crashing back down and I hafta crank my carcass back outta bed, take a drink, do the chores of stayin' alive, showering, whatever, before I've waited long enough to take a little something and hit the sack again...  hopefully, with heaven's help, this forum and my wonderful new friend will keep me from giving up or gettin deeprest...         thank you kindly!!!    Nefesh
