Hi Fallen,
I DO know...and, I DO care!!! :o) I think we've all been through similar experiences - if not with the same drug or the same problem, but with fear or with feeling like it's hard to let go of something that we've gotten used to! I know I've been there too!!! Fear is the worst thing of all because it keeps us down & keeps us from doing things that we could have done all along, but just didn't realize it or were too afraid to try! I TOTALLY BELIEVE that you WILL lick this thing, and that you WILL be able to give up the Ambien! Like you said, you were almost asleep that night without it! Give it a try some night -- try to go to sleep without taking your Ambien & see what happens. You can always get up & take it IF you feel you have to, but I'll bet you'll find you WON'T have to!! ;o) And, even if you do end up taking it, don't beat yourself up over it -- you will eventually feel strong enough to be able to get through the night without it!! There's no deadline! As long as you are working TOWARDS your goal, that's all that counts!!! Just think how good you'll feel once you've proven to yourself that you CAN live without the Ambien!! You will have beaten one more fear, and then you can move on to tackling the next one!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!
Take Care my friend....... :o)
