As jimi1822 said in a journal one time "Go with a spirit that fears nothing"......That one has stuck with me ever since.
I agree. After reading the forum, I was terrified of all the things I read, but when I finally did it. I have to say that I couldn't relate to the horror as described on the forum. My withdrawal was nothing like what I read. It was pretty minor......i had symptoms, but nothing like some. I couldn't / can't relate to many.
I was taking a pretty low dose compared to many. It was not pleasant, but i found that if you keep your mind occupied as much as possible it goes by miserably fast, but its certainly doable. I feel fortunate that I didn't get to deep. keeping busy and plugging through it is the best way. I tried the laying in bed for weeks and that just makes it worse, but that may be the only way for some. You are so right. We have similiar experiences that we can share, but to what degree ......depends on the person...............
Nauty..........
The spirit of fear is not from God, put your hand in his and hang on! Great post mangee
