I am day three of my Tapering and It's going really well.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my experience with Tapering is actually helping me. I went From 10 Pills a day two weeks ago down to 4 pills a day a week ago. Now I am on 1.5 pills a day and i only take it right before i crash. So i really have been making myself suffer and i Pray to God really hard when it gets tough but it was 30 hours before i took my dose i am aloud. And listen to this i only took the one pill 5mg. I was at 40-60 and 30-45 mgs two weeks ago. Now i am on only 5 mgs a day. I was able to mix me a little bomb shell last night which contained the following ingredients 2.5 tablespoons of Nyquil, one 5 mg melatonin pill, 5 mg valium and my 5 mg of hydro prescribed by my dr. I was able to sleep comfortably for 7 hours not once waking up. Now i feel like a brand new me and i am really ready for the day to come. I love life but still scared you all know what i mean right?

That cocktail was pretty good. I'm not sure I should have mixed them all but still at least a restful night of sleep is what we all need to help us conquer this stupid habit. I am telling you guys all you. You have helped me soo much and i am loving life right now even more than when i was high as a kite. I like talking to people all my friends would call me STONEWALL Jackson because that is what i turned into. But the strongest power that has helped me is GOD. I can't say that he didn't help me he did.

GOD IS MIGHT
GOD IS GREAT


Thanks you guys I mean it.

Well,that was quite a cocktail !!!    Pretty soon you can taper off the valium,too.  I'm glad to hear you slept. ( Well...who wouldn't sleep ?? )      

We DO feel so much better if we can just sleep at night. I think that's the # one thing during withdrawal...to get enough sleep!!

Good luck~

Taper as quickly & safely as you possibly can, and be done with it. I applaud (clap, clap, clap) your decision to take steps towards sobriety.

Keep posting and let us know how you're doing.

Congratulations Brother... take it one day at a time!
