I just got home from my Sat Night NA meeting, they gave a cake and a card and a Dagloo Oney Year Key Tag, they sang Happy birthday and I shared it was a great night, my sharing was all over the place as I was overwhelmed but I had a ball. Only slight let down was that the two people I was going with both cancelled. I hung around afterward and had a meal and coffee then got a small attack of the poor me's as I drove home alone, I am over that now and just so grateful for such a wonderful night.

I think you guys are just waking up over there on Sat Morning, while we head to bed on Sat night. Have a great day.

Hi! Waving shyly. I need to skip the sugar and caffeine. I have decided that my prescribed anxiety med, xanax, is now no longer helpful and has caused a dependence such that with the withdrawals, I am an addict. Shoot, I was always one, see me smoking like a chimney. I have always thought that my usage of alcohol and other things were recreational and disposable. Guess I still think so cause I don't want them. But the detox off the benzo has me scared.
Anyway....hey, eat cake.....I will follow the party.

That's really funny! Thanks! The cold turkey hasn't kicked in yet and I will make arrangements to taper off. It is my life I have to get straightened out.
In a couple of days I will be whimpering and afraid of my own shadow and startling at anything and everything. That won't be funny. But I am going to enjoy my sense of humor while I still have one today. now, enough of hijacking this thread...thank you everyone for the welcomes!

eddie z. 05-21-2006 05:04 AM

Hey, live!! Yes, please don't go cold turkey off Xanax. That can actually be dangerous as well as most unpleasant. Tapering is absolutely necessary for benzos. I suggest working closely with a professional during this time. I'll be thinking of you!!

And live, I'm still smoking and doing caffeine, BUT I am over 90 days abstinent from sugar!! I feel great and have lost over 30 pounds, too. I'm doing OA, South Beach Diet, and plenty of exercise. I wish you the best with that, too!!

Love and hugs,
Eddie :brain

Hi y'all. Do you accept transfers?

If it's the newbie bus, why does everyone have a couple thousand posts? :-)
