Many people don't have support so they see no reason to stop using drugs. I have a good life and there's no need for me to get high. I'm going to continue studying and take my meds as prescribed. If I catch myself right now, then it won't continue instead of just not caring and continuing on the path that is possible to go towards. It's immature to abuse medication that is supposed to help me but it's hard because the dosage isn't corrected yet and I need to function. |

I love when I hit a number that is an interesting sequence since the big noteworthy milestones get further apart. Today is day 654...

Desoxyn, Really glad you have your family's support and recognize the need to stay clean.
UpDownAround, Congratulations on the fun milestone. I'm doing ok. I'm having massive cravings but that's directly from being on valium. I may have to talk to my pdoc about going off it, and doing a straight clonazepam taper. Knowing it's just meds caused, though dose make it a lot easier to resist the urge to drink. splitimage __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

Bizi,
Yes - that's what we're using the valium for. I got my pdoc to agree to follow the Ashton manual schedule, even though he'd never heard of it. It's great from a taper perspective, unfortunately it also makes me want to drink. splitimage __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

Still alcohol free one more week of abs then we shall see what I do then. I have had a pretty regular weight loss14.1 pounds in 5 weeks. I would say that is pretty good. I still look pregnant. My Intermittant fasting is working and following a lowish carb diet.
Went to a dinner it was all very good and healthy baked chicken and asparagus and brussel sprouts and cucumbers and we brought a lovely fruit salad that hubby made. with strawberries pineapple, blue berries and raspberries. yummy. snacked on some dark chocolate almond candy and some roasted almonds. Very filling but not stuffed! Then proceeded to drink 5 sparkling sodas. I hope I don't have to get up to go pee too many times tonight! Our friend paul is also abstaining from alcohol for lent. And hubby is taking anti biotics so he was drinking water too. so rob was the only one drinking whisky. I did not miss it as I was not nervous being around them. So I think I can continue to do this after easter. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Just checking in; 659 days. Congrats, Greentires and Bizi! Trying to stay vigilant because it doesn't bother me at all to be around people drinking or hear people making plans, talking about drinks and drinking or whatever. It's hard to say whether I am better off thinking of myself as a problem drinker currently abstaining that needs to think about it in situations where it could be tempting or thinking of myself as a non drinker with problems in the past I don't dwell on. I think the main thing I need to stay disciplined on is my desire to stay healthy; not drinking is just one facet of that but it's a very important one.

6 months sober today. I'm pretty happy with that as it's the longest I've gone in a while. I'm still having cravings after I take my valium, but they're easier for me to ignore / talk myself out of because I know it's just a chemical reaction in my brain.
