Where has the time gone? Seriously!!! Nothing like the mundane of everyday life getting in one's way, successfully obscuring what is actually going on right in front of them, never mind all around them, that's for bloody sure. Combine this with "if it ain't broke..." it is fairly easy to see how we are able to become pretty complacent, soldiering

Really good to hear you're doing so well!

I've cut down to 2mg a day of buprenorphine, from my previous four. I aim to be off it by Christmas at the absolute latest.

Congrats on your tapering success thus far! Going slow as you have done is the only way to do it for sure. Now that you are down to 30 mgs you will likely need to proceed at a slower pace--5mg cuts may prove to be too much

Welcome to LJ, Kerry. And I realise your congrats were directed at sick_girl, who hasn't exactly made it easy to see her actual "reply to poster" link (which she might have done, if she was going to open the rest of us up to the Facebook world... even if she thinks it's awesome, a number of us on her LJ don't exactly think it's cool.)

So, hello Kerry, and bye sick_girl... we met in anonymity, and even if you won't acknowledge that, I will, as I still think addicts and alcoholics in this day and age deserve anonymity, even if you think that's a fucking fluid concept.

You know where to find me, sick_girl, if you feel the need to slum it with recovering addicts on the other side of the world. But I really did think, despite the fact I recall we agreed on the AA/NA thing, that you had more sense than this

Hey flyslip,

Did I say something to offend? Cause I really didn't think I had. I remember junkylife.com and everything that came out of that experience/experiment only with fondness. I've never presumed to compare my own personal recovery with another's except in the most general of terms - and I do mean vague, vague and some more vague.

This facebook connection I know of not!?! I do not, nor have I at any time nor do I plan on having in the future, an account/user name with them. I've seen this site as both my daughters use it to connect with their friends etc, but that is pretty much the sum total of my facebook knowledge. I am a couple years away from my 50th birthday so I'm pretty confident that I would not be facebook's ideal target group. Could just as easily be wrong on this matter too I guess...Long and short don't really care.

Drat, my daughter just walked in and must deal with her. Sorry if I've leeft anyone reading this kind of hanging. Promise, will be back...

peace, love and happiness..
