10 days in - without Vics!!!

I have made it 10 days clean! I feel ok I just don't have the energy or the drive I once had. It still makes me sick to think of taking pills. It is hard for me to choke sown my vitamins in the morning now  I wish the weather here would warm up so I could go outside. Thank You all for your support not sure I could have done it without you all!

Good morning to you and I'm glad you're feeling better.
Congratulations on 10 days clean, you should be very proud of that!

Your energy will come back slowly but surely...it just takes time to get back to 100%.  You can help it along by exercising and moving about as much as possible.  With 4 kids I imagine you do that alot already!

Keep it up and keep us updated.

Well wishes to you..

Sandy :)

10 days is monumental...I had the same problem taking vitamins - it's as if my body had had enough and was rejecting anything in tablet form. As far as energy, etc., sandstone is correct - it will all come back and before you know it you'll be a new, clean you. I'm on day 34, and trust me, it was worth every second of detox and withdrawal that went in to getting me to today. You are doing great - keep posting.

Yes, Sandy 4 kids keep me busy but the 2 toddlesrs keep me from ever being bored. I am trying to get into a schedule so that my life will keep me moving vs thinking hmm what to do today. Weekdays are a breeze. Older 2 up fed and sent to school, then housework, play with babies, feed them, down for nap, then work (4 hours), home to cook dinner, clean up, do homework with older kids, baths , and finally bed! See no time to think about it. HOWEVER weekends are so long. Trying to keep busy and find things to do with everyone that everyone likes. I know I am rambling but its keeping me busy! Lol. I am a work in progress but I acknowledge it and will keep working towards it. :)

Congrats on 10 day!  You should be proud.
I remember days 10, 11 and 12 being hard for me. And then a few days of feeling good and back to a few bad ones and so on.  But I promise you it does get better!
And I too, have a very hard time taking the vitamins I do now everyday. Some mornings they come back up as soon as I've just choked them down.
Hang in there and have faith that it will get better!
