i have a close family member who has been taking ambien for quite some time now, and is trying to get off of it.
this person is having a tough time, not to mention they cannot sleep at all.
does anyone have any tips on how to get and stay off, and what to do for sleep in the meantime???
I took ambien occasionally several years back. Ambien isn't supposed to be habit-forming, I thought.
I use melatonin with very good success. That isn't habit-forming either. Some people have trouble with it, I understand, but I've only gotten to sleep within 20 minutes and no grogginess the next day.

well, i stumbled onto this site and decided, after reading a bit to post.. who am i?
i am "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" as they say now, they no longer use the word "disfellowshipped" in the announcments now.
why am i df'd?
Hang in there, noname!
There are a lot of folks here in your situation with a believing wife. Results have been varied, and sometimes very surprising. Some of the "die-hard JW spouses" now post here too, believe it or not!! So don't write it off entirely from this point.
Looking forward to seeing you more on the board,

(never a JW fyi)
PS: That was a fabulous post, LL!! That would make an awesome tract for JWs.
have you ever had this feeling that your body wants something, but you can't figure out what it is?
i mean like is food, a vitamin, a drink, something?
i have this feeling a lot.
Got chocolate?
Lack of chocolate is scientifically linked to all kinds of unexplained irritability.*

*private scientific research, that is.
just wanted to let everyone know, until i get an isp at home again i will only be posting as often as i go to the public library to use their computers.. if anyone needs/wants to get in touch with me, i have made sure big tex has my contact information.
i trust his judgment on who to pass it along to.
you can also send me a pm here, but i am not sure how often i will be checking them.. i have deeply appreciated all the insights i have gained from discussions with you people, and i hope i have provoked some new or different thoughts as well.
Why not get a job in the library...?
It bites for all of us that you will be offline for a bit. We are definitely going to notice your absence in the meanwhile!!!!
Respectfully,

hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.
i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".
the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.
Why is it that people will add info to tracts/WTs left in laundromats... but not do it to what they hand out tracts directly? This isn't brain surgery: Sabotage.
Copy "Google JWs for more information", "Freeminds.org", "Stay away from this cult!", or "Thanks for taking this tract. Please throw it away!" on a small piece of paper and put it inside if you have to hand it out.
Turn your lemons into lemonade... somehow!

is anyone familiar with this upcoming event?
or know anyone who attends?.
i had "met" a few gals when i first left the wts (seven years ago) who talked about this convention....one was from western ny....but i have since lost touch with them and lost their email addies years ago.
I was looking forward to hearing how the convention went. WOW, it sounds spectacular and wonderful. I am glad you got to go, Annie!!!! And glad you got to meet all kinds of other folks here at once.
