Good Morning!

I see you are hanging in there. Good for you. I just now took my last dose of Suboxone. Whew! Kinda scary but I am thankful this is almost over.

Chantix, by the way, DOES work with the receptors. They just completed a new study which determined that it is also useful for addiction w/d's and they will soon be prescribing it as a med to help alcoholics cut down and ultimately quit. I took it some 9 months ago and, at the time, it knocked me silly. All I did was sleep. But, I was eating handfuls of pain meds at the time so that definately had something to do with it. Which also confirms what I just said.

Keep up the good work with the chantix, and hang in there with the w/d's, it won't be much longer.

Hugs, Bonnie

Hi Girl!!
I am soooo sorry I haven't been on much...I miss you guys! I've been so busy. I still have an email saved from my dad...I don't know if you remember, but last time I tried to send it to you, I tried several times and kept getting an email back from something saying "postmaster", saying that my email couldn't be delivered...I know I have the right email address...can you shoot me an email and maybe I can reply to it, and send my dad's email as an attachment? Love, Em
