2 weeks today, WD's are finally gone!

The past 2 weeks have been foggy to say the least. Today I woke up with no WD symptoms. It was like living through a hurricane & this morning the clouds were finally parting & the sun came out :) THANK GOD!! Don't get me wrong, the mental WD's are still there. The boredom that comes with not knowing what to do now that I'm clean, the learning to live clean, the cravings. They are all still alive & kickin. But the painful physical wd's are over. I haven't had to take the immodium for 2 days now & my stomach seems to be leveling out. I still don't have much of an appetite and I've lost about 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I have to say it was a small price to pay to feel as good as I do today. I couldn't be happier. I know the battle is not over. The anxiety will come & go. I will have good days & bad days. But I am rejoicing today! My faith has helped me more than anything. I have held on to God's promises & He hasn't let me down. Going to take my baby boy out, pick up my teenage daughter & ENJOY them for the first time in a long time. If you are in the middle of the hurricane, take it from me, if you can ride it out, there IS LIGHT on the other side. Hang in there!!!

Congratulations!!  So important to be able to enjoy the day. Addiction completely took that away from me. I think thats one of the crueler aspects of active addiction. Enjoy your family and what the day brings!!!         kk
