Hi,
It's my birthday today and I am down to 12 pills a day, yay! Yesterday it was a terrible snow storm and I was home alone all day and thought it would be terrifying but I put on a survivor marathon and made hemp necklaces all day to keep my hands busy and I had a good time. I have worked out a taper that will have me pill free by new years and I am hoping that that isn't too fast as things seem to be progressing well. I am get w/d but I am taking b12 and potassium for the legs and every time I feel the internal organs trying to pull out of my body I get busy with something to help minimize it. I have been holding fast to my schedule for 4 days now and other than the w/ds I feel great, I have been happy and had a good time talking to old friends and people at work. The busy retail season is actually helping me by keeping me busy 2 of the days that I worked I still had 2 pills left and didn't even take them. It is awesome how that person in the one post talked about having all the gates in the brain, I don't even feel a tinge of a high on 20 pills so what is worth this.........it is not. I am going to stay positive but will need all the help and encouragement I can get, I really feel like I can do this and the prospect of getting my life back and not chasing pills excites me beyond belief...maybe that is what is filling the empty gates. Well anyway I have to shovel my pick up out and head off to work so I'll check back later tonight when I get home.

ps I live in Maine and we got 12" of snow yesterday yuck!
Hi Pets! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 12 inces of snow? Yuck! I am in the Midwest and we only got about four but it is bitter cold. I admire your courage in being able to taper. Good for you! I have been addicted for about nine years and just started on Sub.
I tried to taper so many times and quit cold turkey too, but I could never stay away.
Everyone is different. Just wanted to say Happy Birthday! Also said a prayer for you that you can make it! God Bless and good luck!

Now here's a birthday you'll remember, and be happy about.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PETS.
You're doing awesome. All your little tricks are working, and you just keep staying busy. Isn't it weird too like shoveling? I remember the first time I shoveled and was finally clean and I was thinking this is going to kill me. NOPE. It actually helped as you get all those endorphines working and doing what they're supposed to do.
Give yourself a bunch of credit. Plus having those two left over now that deserves a high five. I'm truly happy for you. I L-O-V-E-D retail. I know people say it sucks, and they hate it, but at this time of year it makes the shift go fast. You get to meet cool people. You sound like you're a people person so that's cool for you.
Keep up the good work, and you have a happy birthday, pets. Keep on keepin on, and you'll be elated.
