Melatonin

[sharonver]

Has anyone had any luck with melatonin for anxiety and sleep? I am looking for something to take the edge off the W/D's and to help me sleep at night.

Rex....Steven Wright - you really are a "nerd", aren't ya? (OK-OK, I like him too....just dont' tell anyone...) smile.  .

Bungee (Anthony) - Hope your NA meeting meets your needs; Also thank God you have a companion to stand by you. Good luck, sweetheart.  

Love/hope everyone has a good weekend, Lisabet

You guys are all so great. I smile each time I read this forum. You all make me feel so much better, because I know that all of you are going/or have gone through what i'm going through, and I feel like you are all there for me.

On another note...I'm finally doing it. My first NA meeting is tomorrow night at 7pm. Then next Thursday I have a meeting with a drug counselor. Then starting next friday I am going to go cold tukey(taper in the mean time). I am going to stop friday go the whole weekend and take Monday and Tuesday off of work...So I will have 5 days to withdraw and detox. My boyfriend will be home with me all 5 days(he is going to call in sick just for me:).*Any tips for detoxing will be helpful*. I am very hopeful and confident that I can do it. My plan is to detox and then continue to see the counselor and go to NA at least once a week. Wish me luck,

-Anthony

You're so full of it!  Quit complaining and go back to work!... hee-hee...'nuff said.  (Although, I have to admit - the proofreader for skywriting was a stroke of genius!)...smile  Where in the world do you get this stuff????  Love, Lisabet

Yeah I went back to work. Must be why I am depressed today!

I think its time for a new job, or I could go back to my old ones:

Narrator for bad mimes
Proofreader for a skywriting company
Sand salesman to Iraq
Combination lawnmower repair/life insurance company

And finally -

Alligator tamer (based in Anchorage!)

My ideal job?

JetSki rentals - Kanaapali shores, Maui. (free sunscreen with each rental!)

Hey percs - I'm hanging in there, thanks for asking. I'm not doing too bad - down to 4 vics a day, the "wanting" is the hardest part. I actually had the "restless legs" this evening so many talk about....dammit-if I hadn't read about them on here and knew what they were, I would have thought I was having a seizure. Gary (my "boo") :)  massaged my legs and it helped alot, then I had my last vic for the day a little while ago so I feel better now.  (Of course, Gary doesn't know the reason for the RL's); just told him my legs hurt. Isn't it awful you can being so honest with strangers and can't tell the ones you love what's really going on?...smile.

suzie - I'm so very-very proud of you, sounds like you're doing great; I know in the past you've struggled so much. I think of all the people on this forum, I've pulled for you the most, I think, mainly because you've fought so hard for it. Good things don't come easy, right girl?  Love ya!

Rex - my "cheerleader"...smile.  You're always there with a word of encouragement.  Every little battle won (from 5 vics to 4, etc)., I think of you.  PS: Didn't you go back to work yesterday...how did it go?  It will probably do you good to get back into the "swing" of things, but hope you still have time to post.  You're a "valuable commodity" here....smile.

Love to everybody - to all you "lurkers", please don't be afraid to post....so much encouragement here, and everyone's life experiences is valuable to everyone.  Love, Lisabet
