Hi bow,

Thank you so much for your earlier reply to my post where you so graciously offered encouragement to someone who has no willpower left I am afraid.  I am so glad that you are feeling better today.  Just knowing the worst is over, is something.  I know I if ever do get off this stuff, I would be so afraid to take that first pill again.  You talked about just getting through the first 3 or 4 days and it would be better - but for me it is those three or four days that I cannot bear the thought of, those three days can seem like a year, and without my husband here now for support, I am just so scared.  Please ignore my whining and my lame excuses, but it is how I feel. Believe me - I know that is all they are, just excuses.  Thanks again, bowhunter, for your encouragement, I will remember you if the day ever comes that I can post a thread like yours, gosh to be on day 4, that is so cool.  Hang in there.  I am so happy for you!

Love, Cindy
