BB's Detox

BETTY

I have just read through this. I am delighted that things have started off so positively for you...and its brilliant that you are sharing the experiences. Share them all. The highs and the lows (although It is my wish for you that these are few and far between or better non-existent)...I have found that keep the diary type thread has been very cathartic. I will follow yours with interest too now I have found it.

Good luck girl....
You are very welcome to PM me anytime....
Love
Moo

Hang in the BB... You are doing this the right way. You tapered down, and now with the help of the librium, you won't go through any extreme physical withdrawals. The sleep is normal; for one your body is healing itself (more sleep right now, the better), and the librium (depending on the dosage) will definitely make you sleepy.

I'm still tapering down. No more mornings waking up with the shakes at least. I'm also suffering from some withdrawal of antidepressants that I stopped taking cold turkey. No choice there; they were expensive and I couldn't afford them anymore, me not having a job and all.

Sometime soon I'll be ready to take that next step that you're already doing. You go girl!

Thanks again EVERYONE!!!!

Well I have spent today sleeping for the most part ......... I am lucky that my daughter has spent the day with her grandma so I have just relaxed all day and have thoroughly enjoyed it ................

Something really strange happened, I tend to use a relaxation technique to help me drop to sleep its a mixture of the MWO hypno and other stuff ..........

Basically I do all the usual stuff of deep breathing and going down to the stairs but I alway end up on a secluded beach sheltering from the rain on a beautiful sun lounger with a basket of fruit and a drink ........ its usually a cocktail but today my subconcious put lemonade in my hand!!!! I didn't have to think 'i'm not drinking' it was just lemonade!!!!!!

I'm hoping that this is a positive sign ..........

LOve & Hugs, BB xx

DEFINITELY a positive sign BB. Way to go! Take it day by day BB. Don't look too far into the future, but also realize that your future is VERY bright! You'll be "Betty Booping" it again in no time at all! You're already on your way friend. THIS is the REAL you, remember that. I'm still working on my sobriety, making some progress. I am looking to you for inspiration. No pressure... No pressure at all BB... :goodjob:

Hi BB, it is not surprising you are feeling emotional, you body and mind are going through some big changes right now. Just let it out and go with it...you will soon feel more stable.
Very well done, you are doing great you know.

Hiya Betty,

About your emotions i did something simlar in rehab. We were in a relapse provention class and i got a fit of the giggles..Laughing really loud i was really embarressed but couldnt help it. Trish who was taking the class told me not to worry and she'd seen it lots of times, crying also. She said when your drinking most of your emotions are supressed and your sober mind is getting used to dealing with them again...I still felt like a schoolkid though laughing in a lesson.
