Oops I feel I have to respond to you Paula, I am not completely clean either, but I do feel I can offer support to people on this board. So don't beat yourself up, keep trying (once we quit trying, we're done) and keep posting. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite! (When you think about it, isn't htat a terrible thing that moms say to kids??? Bedbugs??? LOL)
Paula, it is not mandatory that you be clean to be on this board!!!!! You should not feel bad at all, now get over it!
Look how far you have come since you started trying to quit! I know, and you know, that soon you will not need that one pill a day. When that switch gets flipped in your brain, you will know it.
Is there anyway you can take time off of work anytime soon? You have way too much going on to give your full attention to 5-6 days of w/d, in my oh so humble opinion.
Goodnight Betsy! Aren't bed bugs lice? LOL
Talk to you tomorrow.
Thanks for the mental picture of lice crawling around in my bed!!! You are too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Betsy
Carol nope no way can I take time off, I am the only one working my husband is disabled, when I am off though I want to take them even more, it is like I have them on my mind even more so at least at work I dont have time to think about them at least not as much, I know I need to stop I am hoping that when the celexa kicks in It might help with some of the stress I know that that is just an excuse, but I have to do something soon because soon I will not be able to get any at all, they will quit giving them to my husband soon and then my supply will be out. That is a good thing now I am going to start trying to taper off like everyother day and on from there.

Betsy.......LOL.......I don't think you or many of us have lice crawling all over our beds. But in the "olden days", when that saying originated, they did! Yuck!
Or so I've been told.
Paula, I guess it's easier not to think about them when you're away from home, where they are. I am sorry if my asking you is a problem. I know you know what you need to do, and like I said, when the right time comes, I hope you will know it and do it.
Does your husband take them? If not, maybe he should just quit getting them now. That would sure fix it, huh? Or would it?
Saw your were asking about valium, but don't remember what you needed to know. Did you get your answer?
No I am glad you ask questions it makes me talk about all this, I tend to hide and not want to talk about it, I hate to admit to myself that I have this problem. and talking about it makes me admit it, and that is a good thing.
my husband takes them for medical reason, he seems to be able to not abuse them though, I told him to hide them from me but dumb me finds them I usually dont take more than one, first when I started back it was one or two a week now it seems to be about 5 a week so I know I am getting slowly back on that merry go round again. so I have to stop now before I get back like I was before.
the post about valium: there was a girl on other prescription drugs that posted about valium she seem desperate and no one was replying so I was asking if anyone would mind going over and giving her some advice.

OK, about the valium thing. I didn't know they still prescribed those very much.
thought xanex had cornered the market.
Yes, it is good to talk about it.And at 5 a week, you're doing great. BUT, it is when that 5 a week turns into 10, 15, etc., and before you know it you're back to 6 a day. But you know that. Just keep coming here and being honest, taking the Celexa, and pray.
I NEVER thought I would be able to quit. I could not imagine a life off the pills, and for years had no desire to. But when the day came I really wanted to quit, of couse I was lacking so much in the way of strength and motivation. I started praying constantly to find whatever I was missing that would let me tackle a withdrawal seriously, something i had never done before.
It worked. When my last day came, i was excited to be taking my last pill. I couldn;t wait to get started. And although I have been through some rough days since then, I am still excited. And I still pray. It works. : )
Thanks Carol for you kind words you always have a way of making me feel like this is possible. I did screw up on the valium post, it was xanax. I am just glad that everyone went over there to help her.. I wonder sometimes if that day will ever come when it clicks I know it will, I guess sometimes though you have to stop waiting on the click and just do it..LOL..
Paula,,,,,,,that day will come. If you keep yourself pointed in that direction,,,do not EVER let yourself be complacent with taking more. The failure is not in what you are doing, it is when you quit trying. I will be here for you when you switch flips! I know it will.....you are a stong woman and you'll make it happen.
i hope you weren't in that 15 mile traffic thing today. What a nightmare!
I have to turn the computer over to my husband, AGAIN! LOL His crashed at the office yesterday, and he's waiting on Dell to deliver a new one, soooooo
he has to check his mail.
I enjoyed talking tonight! Sleep well. Cut yourself some slack tomorrow and do not try to get all 5 done! You deserve a break, girl! : )
Thanks Carol and thanks for always being there for me. nope I was no where near the traffic.. Talk to you tommorow and have a wonderful night.
Paula
I'm back. Did Carol leave ? Did someone help that girl you were talking about ?? I really don't like to see anyone ask for help and not get a response. I didn't see her post.
