EXCELLENT NEWS!

I have captured the little kitty! Last night when I went out to feed the strays, I brought a pillow case and cat nip ( I know – hypocritical to use drugs on a kitty!) So Karen, I used the kitty equivalent of whiskey! Cheating, I know, but he needed a home and in the end it is worth it. And wow, does this cat like her nip! She is sleeping in a pile of it right now…Anyway, it worked. Ha ha ha… Romeo, you were not too far off the mark with your vision of the great cat capture of 2013!

So there we go! I have a little cat I have rescued. She is SUPER sweet… Or he – not sure actually. Wow, this marks a new beginning for me! For an entire year I wanted to get a pet but was such a mess I could not commit… And now I have one! He/she is doing great too. There was about 2 hours of hiding under a bed and then out he came and it is like he has always lived here and he owns the place! Wow, I am in a good mood now!

Aside from that, not much news to report… I am still on my same dose of .75. I think maybe tomorrow I will try to cut it down just a tiny bit and see how that goes. Not sure how much to cut it by though. I guess the easiest would be to go to .50mg, in terms of cutting the strips.

Ok, THANKS for being so sweet and supportive Karen and Romeo!

Karen, RLS – just looked up what that is. I had that the day before I first took suboxone when I had to be off the pills for ages. Miserable thing RLS is! I don’t think I have had it since though. Is it the reduced dose that causes that Karen? I have to reduce my dose again soon. It is so easy to drift on suboxone – well for me it is. I have about 8 or so strips left, and I DO NOT want to go back to a doc, so I can’t drift. BUt beside that -I really don’t want to stay on this stuff forever. I guess on some level I am just a little scared – but I have extra motivation now in cat form!

Ok, I better go out and buy some treats for my young friend here! THanks all for sticking with me on my get clean journey! I will post again later!
