** First, let me say that I am so sorry that you were misguided by your

physician in this horrible way. I hope you consider getting an attorney and

suing this individual who has such flagrant disregard for your life.

Your case is quite extreme and should not be undertaken without constant

medical support; however, right now you may be able to do some very slight

reductions (a milligram of the alprazolam, perhaps). It might help you be

totally committed to the process. What do you think?

Overall, I don't think it would be wise to do all of this in a 10 day detox

setting. It is too dangerous to do it so quickly, but this may be a place

to begin. You will probably require a long term program in order to safely

do this. We can help you look into these things.

I am also very sorry that you feel so alone. You may feel that you've

lost God but God is still with you. It is God who leads you to look for a

detox program. I know you can't feel it right now, but God is all around

you.

We can't undertake a withdrawal as serious as yours in this kind of

forum, but what we CAN do here is be your friends, your support system, and

provide you with information.

I want to make you a promise right now. No matter what happens, I will

not leave you. I'll be available to you throughout this entire process no

matter how long it takes. There is nothing that you can say or do that will

make me go away.

Please stay and talk to us. We're really glad you found us.

Regards,
