Welcome to the group.
I know that some of the meds can be really hard to get off.
Good Luck to you and keep coming back to this site.
There are wonderful people here that really care and I know they have helped me through this past 8 days. I look forward to seeing you again here.

I say that about sobriety. Sober happy people hang out with sober happy people.
Keep coming back

another day over, another day sober. the days seem long right now. that sounds ungrateful, i know. my health really isn't up to par yet because of the drugs. i go to meetings, talk to another addict, and pray. try to stay busy. end up feeling crappy early in the evening, but i am so happy i am clean. i wouldn't go back to my old way of life for anything. man, was i shortchanging myself. i hope everyone here stays sober. what a good life. angie

today is a hard day for me. the withdrawals just won't let up. some days are worse than others, and today was worse. i am still grateful to be sober, and wouldn't go back to that ugly, drug-induced haze for anything. i just want to be further along than i am right now. everything is in God's time, though. i will heal. i just have to be patient. angie
