drink plenty of fluids, execedrin helped and excedrin pms at night helped too.  eat well, small meals every 3-4 hours..

on the 3rd day and this going to suk, try to get out and walk,,,if you could step on a treadmill...better.  I think sweat cleans the body; if you can keep exercising, natural endorphins should start to kick in as well. Be safe and listen to your body...

It's all good even wgen iy's bad...

58 days clean today

Drink alot, wrap legs and try to keep your mind on something you enjoy, movies or whatever....know that it will be hell but don't give in, every hour or min you go is that much closer to the end of w/d. Hang in there, post alot, talk to us that helps alot!!!!!!!
Good Luck, You can do this......and thank god for your wife!!!!

I just watched I am Legend last night with the wife. It was a good movie. Can't beat full metal jacket either. I was in the marine corps so I love that movie! I too love my soda but try to keep it to a minimum. Too much of it can dehydrate you. As long as you're drinking plenty of water and gatorade a soda here and there wont hurt. Just keep going strong. You'll be able to put all of this in the past before you know it. Best of luck to you!
