weaning....need advice

by OhioVicoguy, Sep 29, 2007 12:00PM
Today begins the reduction process! Not gonna be easy, as its been a week of beer and pills. Instead of cold turkey....I'm going from a 12 pack and 6-8 5/500 vikes, to a 6 pack, and 4 vikes today. Hopefully tomorrow, no alcohol, and the remaining 3 percacets. I have all my other percs and vikes bagged up to give to a (sober) friend to hide/hold. How does this plan sound to you guys? If I get antsy and shaky tonight, I have a few valiums that i could get into to calm me down. Does this make sense?

Hi! I have a 3 year old golden retriever that is my baby! I spoil her, and she loves to hike, walk, and will soon learn to canoe! (she doesn't know it yet), and I have a husky.shepperd mix....he's about 6.....he's very territorial and protective....too much so. He isn't the kind of dog I would have as you can't take him anywhere.....and I'm an outdoors guy. I kind of inherited him from when my dad passed away. He's gppd around me though, and loves affection.
