Red, are you being facetious?

Morning Red,
I have been away for a few days..(prison) kidding.. work work work..
I emailed you a few days back regarding the day you went alone to the doctor. in your response to the one you sent me.
The bottom line is be proud of YOU, you have accomplished more than you ever thought you could,, taking the subway/bus into town alone, when you were scared to death, that alone was a new adventure, and will empower you and give you confidence. it is the things like this in life that is all apart of our growth, you made 's***' happen.instead of sitting back and whining about it. I for one am very proud of you.. I have told you this..
What would be a big help now is if you could read those posts of people starting sub for the first time and offer your experiences,, they will love to hear from you. Atlas comes to mind.. Check out her posts..
Take Care..

Dear Redog:
I've been pulling for you all along - I'm sure the whole board has - that's a lot of people.
I know you can do it - you're a tough one and we know we have to be strong to whip this disease and pray that we stay clean.
Love, Jean

Hey Red..if I didn't post to you, I am truly sorry. I look for your posts so I might of missed it. I also look for your emails...hint hint.
I guess I don't know much about the sub, so I don't know what to say. But I would like to know if your dr wanted you to get into any kind of support group?

LOL reddog see 'thats what Im talking about' ... do things nice for yourself.
Let the girlfriend go, as I told you, can't make someone love you and no one needs anyone to be who they are. OR to make them whole. You are doing fantastic!!!!
Like I said you may want to try and share with others on their posts/threads that are begging for help on SUB. I have no experience with it. I can not offer any experiences on it whatsoever. But you can.. :) A little encouragement to others goes a long way Pal..
BROOK (lol had to do )

Hey Redd,
Hope you are doing better. Sorry I hit and miss the board alot. I do know how ya feel though. Sometimes I post something I really need a response on and don't get a response then I just go wipe it out. smile. Makes me wanna pick up my marbles and go somewhere else. I'm sorry. I hope you are doing well.
Sometimes I think people get caught up in the drama and forget to look out for the ones who need support.
Hang in there.
love,

Lol Firesign such a nice post. Yea I will be a lot more interested in going out and meet new woman once in totally clean. I have not felt sick with the sub. I think it takes a few days to toally work in to where you feel pretty oggd. You dont wake up with that empty stomach like the hydro gave me,. Sub has a long half life of 37 hours so it lasts. I will be off of it in about 2 weeks, I have cut down a lot with little or no ill efftect. I do take a little prescrobed ativan at night, some muscle relaxers and 5mg ambien oh and .2mg clonodinbe at night. That really helps the legs and sweats
I have realized there is no reason to suffer and go ct again for me. I did it in february, it was hell and you feel very alone. Sub could be a wonderful live safer
