Thank you... I keep thinking how am I going to do this with such bad back pain? But I'm getting an epidural next week hopefully that will help. It's so true! When I was taking pills ( this is my first day without) how can I keep taking these forever? There is no way. I felt good in the beginning but than u keep adding more & more cuz your body gets used to them. I CHOOSE healthy.i can do this. It's just my first day off since I tapered so easier said than done but I have to think positive. I dragged myself out of bed today to go walking. Boy, that was hard but I did it. Laying in bed just makes you think more & more about it plus your back gets worse not being somewhat active. Anyways, I'm rambling but thanks for your post... Glad you are here... I only hope to help others once I get better... Thank u
I am proud of you winn just remind yourself be kind. don't think to deep about it. just go with it. don't resist it. have gatoraide and all your stuff ready. the first few days are the bad ones. but dear Minn is right. talk yourself into having the flu. and the flu goes away in a few days. also hot baths. the hot water for soaking will help relax you. Im glad you want to stop this insane life we live on pills. nobody wants this. imagine living like this for life.....up and down up and down. now that's scarey when i quit i kept telling myself. i choose healthy. i choose to get clean. i choose. and that helps me stay on track. just go slow. and be gentle with yourself. when your brain tries to trick you back to pills...remembers its just a trick. and cravings only last up to 30 minutes. read or put some good comedy on. settle down with your comfy things...and were all here.
