On day 5 I actually did get out and surprisingly it helped me so much.  I forgot for a few hours that I was detoxing.  I then realized, I would be able to do it this time and so far I have.  Enjoy the day as much as you can.  Congrats!!

Gday again - the funny thing is you will probably think about them for a long time - the difference will be you won't want to take them. It's a bit like breaking up with an old beau - I'm sure we've all done that. After a while you'll only remember the bad stuff not the good. You are real close - about day 4 or 5 right?. Those short periods of relief should be starting real soon. I know it sounds like bs at the moment but it will get better. Good luck

Sit down and write a goodbye letter to those pills.  Pour your soul into it.  The romance has to stop at some point and when you write a letter it does feel really good when you say that final goodbye~~
