Well Im ,kinda sad to see that nobody did the goos this morning but I guess its cause you all wanted me to open huh?lol
Well its like 0 here in upstate NY.Its a good day to stay inside by the tree & do my Christmas cards.They are saying another "bad"storm Friday & I gotta say......WHY ON PAYDAY!!!!.My Bf has to go up in the mountains for his job & it stinks sometimes.
So how is everyone?I read how a couple of newer people are thinking of leaving & I so hope they deside to stay.Drama will happen no matter what but at least for me the good on here out weighs the bad.I see people reaching out to others & I feel the pain of the newer ones.I remember those first unsure days of feeling so lost & alone & for me this board always banded together to help.
So to the newer ones if you really feel like leaving is better for you I can understand,BUT I want you to know that people here are good.They may have off days but I like to think that we all on here are kinder spirites.
Have a GOOS DAY......mj

MJ started a thread one morning, as a typo....it's carried on...
We used to have someone set up the "addict cafe", get coffee and fattening goodies ready...was a lot of fun, back in the day. Chitchatted about nothing and everything.
MJ, I was finished in 2 days, only had a limited amount of money, no credit cards, thank God.
Just sent out my parents gifts on Monday.

I like Sue already. Ho-hos! You'll blend just fine.
The goos morning thread is just chit chat, it can cover recovery or not. But the nonsense morning threads got me through the worst of my early clean time, so for me its very recovery related. Sometimes what doesn't look to be there, really is.
Hugs back Molly,

Goos morning everyone.
it is 29 degrees and overcast here. A blah kinda day. I feel pretty good though.
Today will be my last visit to my sub Dr. I am tapering slowly. I just need a few more pills. I am down to 6mg per day, rather than the 12mg he prefers I say on. I am ready to stop reaching for the pill bottle every day. I have an appointment on Tuesday with my primary Dr. I am planning to discuss options for my WD symptoms if they present themselves. I am also going to talk to him about a plan for the future in case I ever need to take a narcotic again. Let's hope that does not happen. I have no pain issues at this time, except horrid menstral cramps. For those who suffer from severe cramps, what do you take? IBU and aleve don't touch mine when they are bad. In the past it was always my greenlight to get "just a few" pills. No more. I'll suffer if I have to, but can anyone recommend anything?
Great day to all! I like the way the board is running this morning! Atlas

Thanks MJ. I will probably be on the board every day through this. How much sub are you taking? If you don't mind me asking, what kind of pain are you controlling? They do seem to relieve pain. If you don't want to share, that's okay. Let me know when you start to lower. I'll share my experience with you. So far, going from 12-6 mg I have not noticed a bit of difference. I think 12mg was way too high for me.
Morning Atlas and Rach,
Glad you're both here.
Atlas,
Taper slowly on sub, trust me here. Once you get to 2mg, drop a half mg all the way down to .25mg to nothing. I'd give yourself a week to 10 days on each drop. I tapered in 10 weeks, started at 8mg til I got to dust, literally. My withdrawal from sub was minimal. I see some people jumping off at 2mg and thats just crazy in my book. Sub is suppose to minimize withdrawal, let it. Slow and steady win the race here. (John Dee quote)
800 moltrin helps my cramps.

GULP yes Ill share (that shows that I have grown a bit)
I am at 24mg a day of sub
I have Chrons real bad & it does help alot with that.
Im just hoping that after the hoilidays I can get that control from a lower dose.Its so easy to stay trapped in thake a pill feel better syndrom(sp) ya know.I do worry when I lower about the addictive issues but Ive learned alot here on how to try & deal with that plus Im giving long hard thought to therapy & working through my baggage....mj

That quote reminds me of a Disney book my son used to have.. called the Big Race... slow and steady - steady and slow, that's the way we always go!

No jumping from 2mg for me. I will crush a pill and divide it 40 ways if I have to.
Thats exactly what you want to do Atlas. I'm so glad to hear you know about this. Let me know if I can help you at all. I've been off sub since March, it was my last resort to quitting. I also get face to face support to stay clean.
I gotta go guys, I should have already been at the hospital by now.
Have a great day guys, it was good to see some familiar faces and even better to have new people here. Thats the beauty of the goos!
