shelby.. I understand what you are saying so well.. active addiction robs is of our very lives we only exists for our next fix and counting out pills throughout the day.. Being outside, the freedom of leaving my home.. the desire to leave my home I'm just grateful I found the spark that has set me free.. I hope your Holiday is filled with love and laughter.. lesa
Coming off of the pills is a commitment, you have to be mentally ready for the discomfort of it, and yes, there will be discomfort. But you will find that once you have made it through the discomfort, you will feel more alive than you have in a long time. The big question is, do you want to taper down the dosage or quit cold turkey?
I think my greatest pleasure has been feeling the sun on my face again...I cringe to think of the days I barricaded myself in my room. I didn't care about anything...not my family, friends, nothing. Scratch that...I did care about one thing. What time could I take my next pill? How many could I take? How long will they last? Such a waste...such an absolute waste. I am so grateful for everyday now. I pray that everyone else here finds that. Great post by the way!!! :)
