hey jimba,

just wanted to check in and see what you decided and how your doing...

I'm currently on 3mgs of sub, started on 4... I wouldn't even dream of trying to stop cold turkey at this point, I don't think I'd make it.

Are you doing anything to help aide in your recovery besides the sub? I have found my NA meetings and bi-weekly appt's w/ an addiction counselor to be a life saver. I haven't shared w/ my group that I'm on sub but they are still able to help me w/ so many other aspects of my attempt at recovery. I do discuss the sub w/ my addiction counselor and that helps a lot. Keeps me accountable if I were to ever think of self adjusting my dose.

These are just my thoughts and what's worked for me... hope you can find a way that works for you as well. Please keep us updated.

Take care
