I hope no one takes this the wrong way

But I am separating myself from the boards for a bit. I have a detox plan and am taking myself down in the next two weeks before I jump off and quit. But being on here and reading all the pain everyone's in us scaring me and the best thing for me as of now is to stay away until I am clean. Before I change my mind. Thank u all for your support and help. And I hope you all are well. Wish me luck talk to you soon! Lynn

Good luck to you. I did exactly what you are doing; I found that I was experiencing so much anxiety reading about others' struggles. It is not that I don't care - I just got myself so worked up and started expecting the worst. Fear is not what we need when we are starting this journey. On the other hand, the people here are wonderfully honest and helpful; they will be here when you need them.

It did help me to find one or two who seemed to have a similar situation and exchange private messages.

I wish you the best as you take these steps.

Good luck Lynn!  See you on the other side:)  Please don't be scared.  I mean, detox can be uncomfortable but it does end & gets better. But being an active addict is way harder and will never end, and only get worse.  You can & will beat this!
