It is comforting words like that, that are taken in bliss. I am no Great Dane, but do have a little Pitbull in me. But even as tenacious as a Pitbull can be, and they never give up, Never, this has been a battle of the Canine Race for me. Who will win, the Great Dane or the Pitbull, I put my soul on the Pit. I have no choice but to work, and believe me, even though I put one foot in front of the other, and lift one heavy thing after another, I wish I could come and lie in bed for a few hours. But as a lot of you have said, The physical aspect of working, at least hypothetically helps. I hope tomorrow is just a tad better. Thank you so much for the encouraging words, and also from everyone else.          JayDean

Hey Jay Dean,

I'm new here, but have done the cold turkey thing before, and know what you're talking about.  I'm really impressed that you have managed to go to work (and such physical work) during all of this.  Like Mary said above, I laid in bed for days during the acute period.  I imagine that you're actually going to detox even faster, since you're out there moving your body.  You truly ARE close.  Seriously.  You're definitely near the end of the acute part.  Congratulations!!!  And hang in there.  Be sweet to yourself.

Oh you crack me up Magi. That is in a good way. Both of you said I am close and that is the positive that i need. Ive already been in the tub once tonight and am going back in now. I will think of a Pom Pom song for you, and youre right I like reading the posts of the people who have done this and are going through WDs as it is positive for me, I feel there pain, But dont want to be outdone by them so it gives me motivation. But I do want all of us to succeed, And I pray we all do. Thank you. Day 5 tomorrow. Lordy Lordy.      JayDean

You ARE so close to feeling better. Actually you will probably feel better sooner than Mary or myself, because your keeping busy and getting some exercise. It will pay off in the long run.  Soooo Happy for you. Keep going, your almost there.  I love hearing the progress of those coming through this.
I want to get some pom poms and do a little cheerleader dance or something for everyone going through withdrawls..  Wouldn't that be annoying, lol , and it wouldn't be a pretty sight either, lol.
Keep up the good work and stay strong!

The GNC drink that I have is full of Potassium and I mix it with a bannana, yogurt and milk. Tastes great and it has 2200 calories, so I can put some of the weight I lost on. I divide it up into three glasses a day. When Im feeling better I will start back on the weights as I use to do. But I tell you working on the farm is definitely some physical work. I have to work as right now there are only two of us to take care of the horses. I have no choice. OH I HOPE tomorrow is better. It will be day 5 tomorrow and I hope its like yours was. Jay Dean

Hey congrats on day 4 !  You are in the home stretch !  I so admire that you went to work. I was such a wimp.  It was all I could do to walk my dogs around the yard. At one point I actually thought to myself ...just let them **** in the house. lol  I didn't though. I think if you get some sleep tonight tomorrow will be better. It is a gradual thing.  I am at day 25 and all I have left to deal with is the cravings. It's weird though I remember feeling so much better on day5, 6,7,8,9, then on day 10 I didn't feel so hot.   Are you getting enough potassium ? That should help some with leg cramps.  You should be able to see the finish line at this point.  Keep it up, you are doing great !     Mary

I just finished a 12 hour day on the farm. Is there a higher word than exhausted. My legs are burning, I just got out of the tub. My mind feels clearer, and I even walked again a mile to the church at lunch just to touch the cross(And thats not including the 5 miles a day I do at work, No kidding) Horses are demanding. I AM 97 hours which equals 4 days. I was a little bit spacey at times today but also a lot clearer on certain things. About 3 this afternoon I just lied in the grass and thought I could just lie here forever I was so exhausted, Damn just to get up was like lifting the world on my shoulders, but I kept on plodding along. I have been eating and drinking My GNC protien drinks with tons of goodies in them. I Cant Stand the Leg aches. Today was the first day I had one thought about a pill and then I slapped myself in the face, and I mean hard and that was that. It is so nice of you to ask how I am doing, And you. Are you OK. We sometimes forget to ask the people who are helping us, as you deserve our kindness also. Plus I really dont like coming to the cottage and being alone.YOU have to tell me that I am close, I need to hear it. I feel Im doing Ok but still feel somewhat crappy. But Im positive. Thanks again to you and all who have posted to me. I want to be a success story like all of you.
