One Step at a Time -February 2015

[NoraC]

Hello everyone -
Dots - I hope that you are home now! ((((((((HUGS)))))))

I am just swamped at work but I want to thank you all for the advise, love, PM's, e-mails, etc. I am so much better today. Maybe I was just too tired and drained.

I hope to be able to post properly tonight. Hopefully, we are going to go minature golfing with my son & his girlfriend tonight. Something just fun & silly. I think we all need that.

:heartbeat:

[mama bear]

we are happy for you Nora
Yes - Pauly- it would be nice for Steve Perry to show up, but I bet he can't hit and hold the high notes like he used too...

[mama bear]

Dottie- what is going on?

[mama bear]

K9 is sort of ok, but Sierra is having a bad day......Niner texted back.
I told her all of us were here for her....including you Guitarista!

[Dottie Belle]

I am home and tired. They are predicting snow tonight and tomorrow. I will be trying to catch up.
Hope K9 is ok....that is a lot of stress too.

[techie]

A quick hello. Sending you all love and light!

Hi Techie was reading December thread, dang we were messes haha,Mama, a quick question about your taper, ok,I was taking one .5 pill in the morning and one in the afternoon, two weeks ago I cut the afternoon pill in half, so about a 25% cut in two weeks, think I should cut the afternoon dose completely or 1/4 it? Sorry to keep bugging you

[mama bear]

Hi Techie! Thanks for the love. You are such a big sweetie.
Pauly, you re not bugging me...it's totally up to you and how you feel. I was abusing it...up to 3 mg a day for sleep, down to .25 in a week..and it made me really sick. BUT- I was given other meds to help me sleep and keep calm. Try it of you can....if you feel like crap, then go back to your other dosing schedule. The really bad days, I would take little bites to help....
Glad you are home Dots!!! Please be well!!

[paulywogg]

Thanks Mama, I feel like I've stabilized on this dose,besides the insomnia which I already had before the taper, I know I need to step down again, ugh,that first week was agony

[mama bear]

I understand Pauly!
I feel like poo...Nyquil and night night for me!
NO DRINKING TONIGHT!!!
I am thinking about you Lizz...hope you are hanging tough.
Prayers for K9 and Sierra

[paulywogg]

Yeah, we haven't seen Liz today, hope all is well

[Dottie Belle]

Maybe everyone if frozen....except mama and u .....
wish K9 would check in.....

[paulywogg]

I do too Dots,but I understand how busy she must be with Sierra, poor thing

[Lizann]

Hi guys. Busy day at work, didn't get home until late. Then Erin stopped by. Then Mark came home and I microwaved his dinner. My BIL is here again hopefully putting up the last of the back splash. Then they grout. As expected ellen called twice. The second time she called was to see why I was late at work. She wanted to know what I would be doing if the situation was reversed. Then there was a letter from June when I got home telling me all the things that could go wrong if I continue to drink. Thank goodness there was nothing in the house to drink because I was that close. Stress at work with another woman, plus I have to go to a baby shower tomorrow two hours away (family) and my SIL wants a ride. Now my niece wants to come too. The weather is supposed to get bad, my niece has a four wheel drive and I should drive. I'm like fighting back the tears but I don't want to stress my son out. All I wanted to do was get on here and talk to you guys! Thanks for letting me vent, yet again.
Dottie, glad your home.
Nora I'm glad your feeling better.
Pauly, thanks for missing me.
Mama, PJ pants are perfectly acceptable to wear outdoors, just ask my Chelsea!
Gonna hang with my son for a few, I'll be back
Love you guys

[NoraC]

Oh Liz - (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) - I understand! The pressure of having them staring at you is exhausting. Hang in there:heartbeat:
