I think the only answer is to not read the posts then.  Just come on for now and read your own and the answers to them.
I really understand.  The forum has set off cravings for me many times as well.  Sometimes reading about someone having an anxiety attack makes me have one.
Everyone is different so you have to do what's best for YOU right now.
You can also Private message any of us if you need support and don't want to post on the forum.  
When I have a bad craving I pretend it's chocolate that I want lol.  I go to the store and buy lots of chocolate and pretty soon my craving is gone.  It's working right now and I hope I don't end up having to go on a diet.  Good thing I have a dentist appointment tomorrow.

Of course pat, I will tell you im back to my normal self, I think NA is really good although i dont have a way there at the moment, i have tons of people in my life who do not use opiates, so thats good, I will say for me, Reading some of these post, just makes me want to use again, but thats not an option, How do i get past that? I dont have cravings, but all this pharmacy and tappering talk really hypes up my brain.. That will be a major stuggle for me on this forum.. Other then that, hey im out of the woods but not home yet, I am completed with withdrawl, I walked 5 miles today, and my legs dont even hurt, not a bit, so im just fine... My brain on the other hand, wants it everytime i see a post about using... ?? can you help me with this?

Hi Staying
Nice to hear from you and even better to hear that you are feeling great.
I really hope and pray that you've got it this time.
Do you really think that you can stay clean without any support?
Did you check into any type of therapy?  
I would hate to see you have to go through this again.  
IMO, you have a lot to offer.  I could see you helping others and being happy doing it.  You can be and do anything you want as long as you are clean.  The car will be your first reward.
Keep posting and let us know how you are doing and stick around to help others if you can.
