Kim hit the nail on the head. counseling meetings and speaking with your Dr. as lee wrote will be beneficial in the process of the tapering and learning to live life drug free.. I wish you well on your journey. lesa
The next step is you start your taper off the sub and you get yourself some type of aftercare in place...It takes time to learn how to live life sober again.We're all so used to just popping something anytime life just gets a little tough that we have no clue how to cope without doing that.We all need to learn new coping skills because lets face it,life isn't always a bed of roses.You're not alone my friend,we all had the same fear.I know I did....I have over a year clean now,and it hasn't been the easiest year,but now instead of reaching for a pill bottle,I cry when I'm sad,and I yell when I'm mad,but the best thing about it is that now I actually feel something.I'm no longer numb and I smile again and now when I'm happy,I'm truly happy in ever sense of the word.You can do this....
Lee offered some good advice about seeking some help from your doctor also.
All the best to you...Kim
all you can do is start your taper so that you can get off the sub, as for livin with the reality of no drugs...you might wanna see if your doctor can give you some SSRIs for depression, if infact you suffer from depression and if not you just have to accept life as it is,thats part of all this
