Take Care,

(75 Days)
yeah. It's the caffeine. I am not even saying anyone else should quite drinking it. I just am really glad to be myself! :) (I have actually heard diet mt. dew can be wors because of the aspartame but I don't know if that is true. Can't stand the stuff myself.)
Thanks! and congrats on your 75 days!!
I was surprised at how much my pill addiction was keeping the other addictions alive. While taking pills I was going through a 12 pack of diet coke and two cans of copenhagen a day. The day I quit the pills the caffeine and tobacco went with it. It's incredible how deceptive addiction is.
PS. I think you can count in days now brother. You're well into day 5, way to go!! Love and Strength to you all the way!
i may give up drugs....but NEVER, EVER, will i give up mtn dew....its my coffee in the mornings...my tea in the afternoon....but i did notice when i got out of jail (was in there for 10 days) and i started drinking mtn dew and smoking cigs again...that i had a headache from overloading i guess...i didnt have one headache while i was in jail....i am way past detoxing...so it had to be the caffeine....take care...

hehe yeah. I guess I just didn't want to jump the gun on the days. :)
I'm not quite in a place yet where I can give up the smokes too. I do plan to, I just think it would be a little much right now. (I think that might be a bit harder since my fiancee smokes too.) I am going to get through this before I tackle that one.
Carrie,
I was the same way with the Dew. It was what got me through the day...(But just saying that out loud is pretty telling isn't it?) But I really do think I will feel better without it.
It is so good to hear that you have broken through. It has made my day. I know exactly what you mean by enjoying the little things. It's like I was in a fog before, and now all the things that I had forgotten about are coming back. The brain is one extra ordinary thing.
8 days - 0 pills - 1,000,000 reasons to be thankful!
Congratulations Jersey!
What's up with the Mountain Dew? I don't think I ever tasted it. And for sure now--I am not going to!!
Like you said, it is probably the caffeine. I used to be a big coffee drinker and I had to cut back because I was developing systs. I got such headaches from the withdrawal, it was unreal!
Well, Jersey...good for you! It's like "two for Tuesday"...LOL
Good Luck.
It really is. Like I said, I am still in a lot of discomfort but just seeing some improvement is really helpful. I know that I am heading in the right direction and am getting there!
Hoping that the RLS is calmer tonight but at least no work tomorrow!
Congratulations to you as well!!
