30 days hydro free!

[IwillDoThis]

Today is 30 days for me.  To those just starting off or going through detox just know you CAN do it.  at day 3 and 4 I couldn't wait to get to 30 days and feel better and I do.  Detoxing was horrible but I'm here at 30 days to tell you how much better you'll feel, what a sense of accomplishment you'll feel.  I don't miss them, I don't want them and my pain levels have been manageable without them.  If you are taking these pills for pain and are afraid to stop but want to stop - let me encourage you to try.  I was taking a dosage no longer working for me so my body wanted more, I was basically stuck in pill limbo - I knew I'd be sick if I stopped but I knew they were not working and I was not going to take more.  I had stopped being myself.  I'm here to say my pain is no better or worse off them than on, what I had imagined in my mind being off them was just that imagination.  I didn't know and I'm so glad I decided to stop.

For anyone who realizes that the pills have taken over, aren't working I am here to tell you that you can do it and at 30 days you'll have a different view.

Thanks to all who have supported me through this.

Good luck to you both.  Stock up on plenty of immodium and stop the diarrhea before it gets you.  Get some gatorade, bananas, peanut butter and bread.  Read the Thomas recipe (bottom right of this page) and just have everything ready as you won't feel like moving for about 3 days.  On day 4 force yourself to walk out to the mail box and every day walk a few steps more.  Remember to breathe through it.  Take lots of hot showers and post often, you'll find a lot of really supportive people on here!  Remember you CAN do it!
