I do know that Ativan is considered highly addictive.

That's why my shrinks won't prescribe it to me. I don't think I have an addictive personality, but apparantly, having done *ahem* stuff in the past (even though one has stopped doing, uh, stuff, easily and naturally and with no ill aftereffect) qualifies.

It is highly addictive in addictive personalities, but for anyone else, it really isn't.

I was wondering about that. I certainly haven't felt any ill effects/cravings for it like I did for Percoset (HOMG the withdrawal, even when I was doing the step-down).

Nora, I think your docs are full of shit, by the way. I've thought that before, when they balk on prescribing you stuff.

Oh, you guys. I just got the sweetest comment on one of my Beauty and the Bug blog entries. Back in January I wrote a piece after finding out that my neighborhood cobbler passed away. His daughter found it and commented on it and thanked me. It's here if you want to look: [link] I'm so touched!

Also, can I share a cute CBD story? Or have I CBDed everyone out?

Any time, babe.

Share away!

So, I've been giving him a joking hard time about not eating fruits and veggies, and I found out this morning (after serving apples with his bacon and eggs) that when he told his parents about me, one of the things he told them about me is that I love to cook and have been cooking him "whole meals with sides and everything." His mom is so thrilled that he's getting balanced meals.

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Yeah, I do too, but it's a fight that I've given up on because insisting you're not an alcoholic or an addict is just fruitless, due to the assumption that I'm just in denial. It got to be too much energy for me to fight, and my flight ended me up with the lady who gives me Zoloft, which is an OK solution for the time being, I guess (except the forgetting about Doing It). I HATE changing shrinks. If I never have to do another intake appointment again, I'd be a happy lady.

Yay vw, bringing on the wholesome eating habits. I'm so glad your remembrance of the cobbler found its way to his daughter. I'm sure it meant a lot to his family.

Life has decided to cut my summer short and we will start the trip home on Saturday. School starts the 18th. Summer vacation should last longer. Pout.

IODrugN, BiL has turned up again. He is insisting that everyone is lying and he has no drug problem. He says he was arrested (for "knocking over a table while trying to pack things at his old house") and has to go to court and so can't make the flight out here. There are no records of any arrest that we can find, so it's all very fishy. DH and his sister are flying out there on Sunday to see what's the what and hopefully to get him on a plane here and into rehab.

How very felonious. Those packing police are sure sticklers.
