Projects I want to get a good chunk done during my little "vacation" before school starts.

1. Gather parts of my "memoirs" and turn into a semi-autobiographical novel.
2. Continue utilizing my sketchbook and practice my drawing.
3. Learn how to do something with my hands, whether knitting, latch hook, embroidery, etc.
4. Read read read.

And while this isn't really a project, I'm going to wean myself off of Suboxens before school starts, I'm sober a year this month and I think I'm ready to be done with Suboxens. I very rarely have cravings and feel that the Suboxens are hindering more than helping at this point, it's just a matter of getting off of them without being too sick. I have learned how to subdue my cravings with other things, such as reading, drawing, watching something uplifting, etc. I still get "triggered" by certain movies, songs, etc, and probably always will, but I think I'm strong enough now to move past it. I can't be on Suboxen the rest of my life, although I probably never would have gotten sober without them, and I don't want to have to rely on them for school. This is too important to me to let anything get in my way. I'm hoping it won't be too horrible. I'm only on 2mgs, where most people who have been on them as long as I have are on 8mgs or 16mgs a day, it's just a matter of doing what I did with what I did with Celexa. Take 2mgs one day, then go the next day for as long as I can until I start to feel too miserable and sick and then take 1mg, then go for as long as I can and take .5mgs, and so on and so forth. I'm hoping it takes me no more than a week or two.
