hanging in there.

Not too much to say… I think.

Three weeks and a handful of days of opiates and five days of klonopin. Stopping the k-pins this go around has been a walk in the park compared to last year. I only took um for 40 days or so but I am sure shaky, my hands just twitch. It reminds me of some of the drunks I see at AA meetings, sucks but it’s not the end of the world. Other than that I feel pretty good. Sometimes I just don’t know about anything, like right now. School is well school, at least I have something to do, I still haven’t bothered trying to find a job and I probably wont for a bit. Going to take summer school if I can stop procrastinating and actually register for a couple of classes.

The weather has been ok 60, degrees and sunny. I was getting my appetite back but stopping the benzos have quashed that, temporarily. Things just seem so boring and slow lately and I really shouldn’t be complaining about that but oh well.

I have been hanging out with some people from NA meetings it gets me out and I don’t think about hitting the booze which is just lame anyways and a guaranteed headache. As you can see I have nothin’ to say…

wishing on a star

peace,

seedless

You should never stop the blogging. It can sure be of great comfort for people who are in similar predicaments. I’m coming of the subutex myself. I went for a year on just 1-2mgs, and now I’m down to .5 with the tapering. Probably wont taper much more than that, just jump off in a few days instead of getting more. Wonder what I’m in for, depression-wise. It’s the timeframe that scares me the most. That goddamned runny nose and overwhelming feelings for weeks.

Have a great day!

Good job, man! I’m trying to get off opiates as I’ve pointed out before in my comments. I’ve had some slip-ups lately, but I’m a few days off them at the moment. Before slipping up, I had put in as much as three to four months off them. I really think I can beat it. Changing lifestyle is very important, and it’s good to see you are in class and going to meetings and stuff like that. You will start to feel more normal with time, and it seems like you have a good amount of people willing to hang out with you even if you don’t always feel comfortable with them. I’m sure in time you will. College is good for that–having people around who are cool to hang out with.
