NOW!

Hey girl you are doing awesome!  I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you are on the healing path and it will get brighter from here on out!  It's all about your attitude and perspective.  If you see detox as a surrender and the first step to reclaiming your life and excavating your most authentic self- it can actually be a beautiful experience.  I know, I know, sounds insane- but I actually wouldn't change one moment of my detox.  I learned a lot about myself and what I was made of.  I just watched my best friend give birth on the fourth, and when she was in active labour and writhing on the bed I was like "Oh I know how that feels!!".  I haven't had children yet, but I've read women compare detox and childbirth on this forum more than once.  At the end of labour, you get a beautiful new baby and a forever changed life.  At the end of detox you also get a brand new life, and a brand new YOU!  You are worth it!!!

Proud of you...

Thank you for the encouragement! I am sure my dog will bark at me too since he barks at everything else!!

Hem- I started my countdown the second after I took my last pill, i took my last pill on Tuesday at 7:30pm so I am just about to the end of day 3. I am having waves of feeling better which is making this all worth it. I won't count my chickens before they hatch tho! I will see how I feel in the morning. :)

Not sure about the dancing but when I sing my cat looks in my mouth.  Think she's looking for the dying cat in there.
Im so glad youve made it so far.  I really feel like I can do this just from all the posts everyone has made.  
Questions.. At what point do you start your countdown?  You say you are 3 hours from the end of day 3,  What did you count as your beginning?

When i dance my dogs bark at me.  Maybe i should listen to them!!  lol

You are doing great so keep moving forward.  You will be thru the wd's before you know it.  Get up and move around as much as you can.  Sitting in the sun for a bit can make you feel better too.  You stay strong~~

You're comment made me laugh about the dog dancing! I will have to see if my dog can dance too when I do dance! I don't think he will like it too much, but I will give it a try! lol! Thank you for your encouragement! I am 2 hours away from the end of day 3! I got out a little today, not much but I do plan on getting out a little more tomorrow. Thanks again, I appreciate it!! :)
