Thank you ALL for your encouraging words...its those words that I hold on to and think about through this entire process.
Rosie - thank you for confirming that Im not just a crazy women who has messed up taste buds :) And I will take your "love advice" and maybe seek out a little "afternoon delight" later on today, ha ha!
And rockhead, thanks for sharing your story about your drive to work. It gave me goosebumps.
At the beginning of this week, I was fearing the weekend because I dont even remember the last time I spent a weekend sober. But now that its here, I am actually excited! It probably wont be as productive as I would have hoped, but its here and I am loving it. The weather is perfect, I get to sleep in tomorrow morning (and instead waking up early from the W/D headache, I can lay in bed and just relax for however long I want) and most importantly, I get to spend it with a clear mind!
Oh, and P.S. Someone should do a television series based on the people on this website. Call it "Hero's" or something like that. :)
I take a beautiful drive to work every day...on a 2 lane road with water on both side...through the woods north of NYC...and the last 2 days it's been like I've never been on this road before...I look at the trees and water and sky and tear up on how happy I am that I'm truly alive...not just livinf but alive and feeling it.
I can't imagine how many other 'new' experience that I'm going to feel over the next weeks and years to come.
Let's kick this together, and don't even look at day 7 except in the rearview mirror!
Congrats on day 5 and many, many, more!
Way to go, girl!! I told you to hang in there! I can tell you some weird stuff about my senses when I detoxed in April. NOTHING tasted right...I couldn't eat or drink anything! If I ate bread or toast, all I could taste was the yeast. If I drank a coke all I could taste was the carbonation. It was like the strongest ingredient was all I could taste...made eating again (after 10 days of not being able to eat or drink anything a challenge, to say the least.) And as far as my sense of touch...my fiance rubbing my legs would cause me to almost have an orgasm...my senses were that heightened. Enjoy sex right now...it's awesome right after detox! Because of the whole heightened senses thing. Unfortunately, it does return to normal! LOL
I'm so glad you're feeling good today and got some sleep! Rockhead is right with you!
I'm proud, proud, proud of you two!!
xoxoxo
