I left this comment in your email link:

You have scrubbed your site of Cymbalta references including the withdrawal blog. Have you made an arrangement with Eli-Lilly?

You did not respond. So you did. So that’s that. Right? You sold out?

Of course you can’t answer. But you can delete this inquiry. So it goes…

Excellent article! I had the same experience of being accountable to a group, and it also taught me everything I know about holding myself accountable to my new standard of living.

And congrats to you, too Marilyn. 2 years without any slips is Excellent!

I also wonder what will happen when my mandatory random drug screenings will end. I am in a five year program with the Nursing Board at this time. I asked to join 2 years ago. I had been in AA for many years with many relapses and various lengths of sobriety. I have three more years in this program and the urines have definitely made the difference. I know longer can lie to myself, “just one and I’ll go back to meetings tomorrow”. I did this for years and the result was the closest to death I have ever been. By the time my pogram ends in three years, I will be a different place in my recovery. I am working on my fourth step at present and learning how to differentiate the false from the truth. I am grateful to have two years clean (without ANY slips).
