Sure today might have been day 6 but I think this time around will not be so bad (and hope!). I was pretty worried the night after getting the last little supply having done 3mg to feel decent but that was yesterday and today I didn't touch any until the afternoon while at work: just about 0.6mg at first break and another 0.6 or so at lunch break (7:30pm). It is now 11:30pm and after just getting home i don't feel that bad after taking only about 1.2 mg ! I just took about 0.5 now and at the most will take only about 0.4 more before bed (its hard to say exactly since it is hard to break those bars in 4 even pieces). That makes the worst case scenerio at 2mg today after 3 yesterday. I only have about 5mg left for all of eternity so I can get through classes Tommorow and Tuesday with no problem and then detox on Wed - Saturday before i have any obligations.
It will be a bummer of a Thanksgiving to be in the middle of detox but i have no living family or anything anyway. I was going to drive about 5 hours to another city to see an old friend but obviously will be staying home to take care of myself instead (my dog might help a little - he is the best dog on earth).
It is hard to predict how it will go but it could be better than the first round of 4 days and could likely be not as bad. It will not be fun but... I could be in decent shape within a week or not much longer. There are no medical options so aat least I know my options - I will stay home with my dog. Last night I called somebody I met at a Christian 12 step group once about 3 months ago so I could at least tell somebody what the deal is and I plan to go to the Monday night meeting they have tommorow night.
when I am "better" I will stick around here as a regular contributer. I have been through so much in life and feel I have a lot to offer others.
Thank you all for your support.
