That's awesome damascus! Thanks you guys for asking about me.
I bought the book Rational Recovery and it really, really hit a spot for me that nothing else ever did.
I reduced a little more today and I'm feeling it but I'm no longer scared of withdrawals. I always feared it. Now i know i can do it.
When i got clean off of methadone, i had a sponsor and i went to AA meetings. She was an alcoholic, not into anything else. We worked the steps together and i applied as much as i could. She was a great help! I also went to meetings.
After awhile, i noticed that i was hearing the same stories, over and over. It seemed like i could get so far with it and that was it.
I really haven't found any other meetings that I'm comfortable with but my Co worker has a pretty good idea what is going on with me and i feel i can trust her. She is 23 years sober. I have that resource, this site, rational recovery, my husband and my doctor also knows what I'm doing.
I'm feeling pretty confident at this point and i haven't felt like that in years so something is working!
