Just wanting to let you know I'm thinking of you - and wondering how you are doing.  You are almost to double digits - doesn't that feel good???



Well, you might not - but you are getting there!



Take care and talk with you soon!



Email me again - I erroneously deleted your email - otherwise I'd have sent you one!



Take care - chat with you soon!



ps - read through old posts - when you started the detox - you have come a long way!!!  For all those out there ready to go through all of this - read the old posts - they REALLY DO help!

I'll re forward the e-mail I sent you yesterday no problem.



Be really honest today is not such a good day...woke up @ 3... I can't sleep... not craving too much... still running to the Bathroom (wish that part would go away) and I have no appetite to eat.... why bother anyway... I put it in one end... just have to run.   Do I sound whiney or what???



I just want to feel "normal".... that's it...I guess the worst of it is over so I should stop already with the boo hoo crapola.



I was so glad to hear your news yesterday...



Thanks for thinking of  me

Way to go EVERYONE!! You are all the strongest bunch of individuals i have ever met. I am so very glad I stumbled upon this forum. Can you all feel the comradery and love like i do? Its like a big family trying to conquer a rough spot in life together. HOKEY! I know but you guys are the BEST! Day 6 for me, got up after sleeping almost 11hrs, I couldn't believe i had slept that long!I woke up SQUISHED between my dog and my boyfriend (both as hairy as the other)a little sweaty, but feeling a bit brighter today. Thank you all for your support, your kindness to a stranger, and you infinite wisdom!!!

Hugs and kisses to all of ya! ;-)

XOXOXO

Yea... I'm glad I found my way here.    It's been a real life line for me.



You actually slept for 11 hours?   Are you using anything to sleep?



When I first went into this... I was using Xanax to sleep...just 1 mg a day... now I'm off that too but last night was the worst for sleep....



Dr. gave me a script for Lunesta... didn't do a damn thing.... nothing...so much for that $50 bucks...



I guess I'm doing too much thinking about all this...just feeling a big cranky today.... ffffffftttttt!



Thanks for your words

Whats happened? Why do you seem so DOWN today?

Yes, I use 4 Sominex and a shot of Ameretta. Hot belly splash of liquor is so nice. (Took that saying from a friend, thanks memily79). Are you emailing any1? I'm worried about you, you just don't seem the same today...

I didn't read your post in any bad way...  :)  When I read your post - I saw the same concern I had - that we all have...and I think that is much appreciated!!!



Day 6 - kudos to you!!!  You keep us posted - as tomorrow is ONE WEEK!!!!!  That is huge! Take care!

Hey - you are entitled to a pity party day - you are doing some tuff stuff right now - Here's a big hug out to you!!!



Are you taking immodium??  I took some the other day - and it really helped.  I wasn't sure I was going to like taking that - and for 15 hours - I felt like I didn't need to stay by a potty!  (or have a raw butt from all the pooping - sorry - too much info!!)



Much like you - the appetite thing - why bother to eat - but you need to take in stuff.  



Try and catch some catnaps - make up for that sleep - and keep us posted.  We are here to listen to you - good mood, bad mood - whatever - that is what we are here for!



Take care!!!!  Talk with ya soon!

You know, how selfish of me, you are absolutely correct. I am only worried. Sorry, I am not myself. Day 6 for me.

Hugs to you gipsee and mema3.
