My first night of my benzo taper went fine. I tried to keep busy today but wasn't too successful. I guess doing things that are unpleasant is no solution.

@Moose72: You are wise to beware of the expense of pets. I had a $1700 vet bill when my dog was a puppy and she had a stomach problem. Cats can be expensive too. How about plants or indoor gardening? Orchids can be nice...
