I can understand about your job, i am a nurse and was terrified about work finding out........but they did, and they have been nothing but supportive, i am not sure about the military, but i would like to think they would be to!!
Keep posting and let us know how you are doing xo
Thanks emma ill take a look at the info on here. And at no at this point everyone is pretty tired of me saying im going to quit just to start again esp my wife which really makes it more difficult. And id rather the military not find out about my prob. So im kinda on my own right now. Thanks for the info

hi kyle, welcome to the forum!!! first off, i just want to say what an inspiration you are to everyone, all of you, the job you do is something amazing.
I am not sure about tapering cause i went cold turkey, but if that works great, it should help reduce some of the withdrawels. If you go to the bottom right hand side of this page you will see a link for the thomas recipe, it is a list of herbal meds that can help with the physical WD's. For me anxiety and RLS where the worst, i found valarien root great for anxiety and sleep. Tonic water and bananas helped with the restless legs along with really hot baths.
Have you got anyone to help you? friends or family? aftercare is so very important, esp given everything you have been through, maybe look into local NA/AA meetings or therapy?
Keep posting here as well, this forum is great!! We are all in this together and together we can beat this demon!!
