Here We Go

Hi everyone, i began my taper today. It will last a week and this time next week i am just going to flush whatever is left. It does feel good to finally have a plan. Sure doesnt help with the fact that i have never been more scared in my life. Looking forward to getting my life back, nothing is going to stop me anymore. I am getting all required supplies. Ie vitamins ect. My boss approved sometime off work
And i am in the right mind frame. Hahaha right now anyway. So sick and tired of this **** and just need and want it over. I have never been more ready. Scared, anxious, worried, apprehensive, freaking out. Take care everyone.....I am coumting down the days.

Jen - So happy you are here! I wonder how much you are taking and for how long? I know everyone has that fear of the C/T withdrawals, but I did it and the fear was 100 times worse than the actual WD.  I mention this because you said you were taking some time off work to do this and I would hate to see you using up your leave with a short taper and end up doing the WD and having to go back to work. I don't know a lot about your situation, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

Thanks to each and everyone of you! Your encouragement seems to be all i have at times. I cant seem to think of anything but this addiction, my plan, withdrawl, and reclaiming my life. I so badly want to get this show on the road, but really cant do so any sooner then next weekend, as i HAVE to function all week. Or loose my job, and that is not an option. I think i do feel good knowing that i am headed in the right direction. Staying strong is key, therefore staying connected to this site is crucial. Thanks again all. I will post again during the week and forsure next friday in hopes for recieving your encouraging, caring, and amazing support. All the best, to each and everyone of you that is on this site.

Hey...I am starting a taper today too. I am not on a very high dose at present but have been using for a year. My big fear is staying clean afterwards. This makes strike two for me and I am NOT going to strike out! But thumbs up for the wonderful goal you've set. Best wishes!
