Day 1! I did it!

I've felt pretty yucky today. RLS is horrible. Sweating, anxious, and achey! I didn't cave though! I keep telling myself.... This part will be over soon!

Congrats on day 1! This will pass. Just a few more days. Be sure to stay hydrated, tons of water and no caffeine if you can help it. Hang in there. You're doing great!

Thank you! I've drank a lot of Gatorade, and juices. I've eaten bananas, and fresh cherries... Bagels with cream cheese! No caffeine so far!I've taken several hot baths. Now I'm watching some stand up comedians...the laughing helps a lot! My anxiety is coming hard. My friend is on her way over to give me my klonapin for the night.

Sounds like you've got this my, friend! Keep watching the comedies, and try to have as relaxing of an evening as you can. :)

Your doing GREAT!!!! Microwave some moist towels and wrap around your legs for comfort. Be careful of the klonipin. Don't take for more than 3-5 days. The herbal teas (sleepy time, calming ones) really help. Soon we will be reading your 30 day post. So happy for you!

Great job butterfly1503!  Be careful with the klonopin okay?  Please don't get a script or buy them.   Did I send you the guide in a message?  I can send it to you if not.   Keep pushing!   Looking forward to your 1 week clean post and then your 2 week and then your 30 days etc.  But for today and the near future.... One day at a time.  One minute at a time if needed.  Great job!
