Welcome Luce,
Good you made it here - you have found an amazing place.
Believe me - MWO DOES change lives - I have been successfully moderating for about six months - and am currently a week into a 30 day (minimum) period of abstinance - and feeling great - no cravings at all!
Considering my history, if anyone had told me I could do that before I came here - I would have laughed out loud.
But please consider what the others have said - don't go cold turkey - unless you do it under medical supervision.
Hope to talk to you often.
Good Luck
Satori

We are here
Luce,
We ARE here!!
Do not give up.
It is hard. No doubt.
If you need your doctor. Go. Get help. Get through detox.
If not, if you can get through without, we are here regardless.
We ALL CARE!!
We will be here

Luce - I am sure God in his wisdom has led you to this site. Where you go from here is ultimately up to you, but you will get all the support, advice, and acceptance you could possible ever find here. Why don't you take the next step and plan how you would like to go through the detox process - whether to check into a facility, or order the books, meds, etc that a lot of people have used here. That would be one step, and then you can take a step after that, and again after that, and we'll be with you all the way. Welcome!The furture lies before you like newly fallen snow - be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.

luce- clever name! welcome!
There is not much left for me to add except do read the book, read the research section, get some supplements, it is all in the book......
It will be 1000x better. This place has worked for many people here and it will work for you too.

Luce,
I agree with Hannah, God has begun to answer your prayers by bringing you here. There is hope. Just 3 months ago I was right where you are. Now I know I'm going to be OK. Stay with us, get to a doctor.
Let us know how you are doing every day as many times as you want. Someone is always here.If I ruin my body where will I live? :ranger

Hey Luce ... *strong thoughts and vibes* to you and baby. Sounds like you're putting yourself on the right path ... with the doc and bloodwork, etc. Keep on posting, ok!?!

Hi Luce,
Congratulations! What a wonderful piece of news and it's great to know that you will have all the physical medical support from your doctors as well as emotional support from us here!
What better motivator than the health and safety of your unborn child to help keep you focused on the new life that you want for all of you??!!
Take care of yourself and good luck with all the blood tests etc. :l:rays: Arial
