[jusmejen]

Thanks everyone for all the support. My work day is now over, and I MADE IT!!!! Thanks to each and everyone of you. I am so ready to go home. I know things are going to get tough, I also know I will probably be up all night, but really what matters is getting clean.....SO bring it on, as I am ready. Today has gone very well, yeh of course I am not comfortable, but I did it . Now it"s time to go get good and sick, thanks guys, pls keep praying for me over the weekend. At least I havent spent all day on the tiolet, I was really worried about that. Cheers and Love, Jennifer

You girls crack me up! Jen, don't forget the hot baths. They really do immediately make you feel better. Tea and saltines for your tummy. If the emotion's start messing with you, don't fight it. Tell your husband what to expect an let the rivers flow. Look up " over easy", she is a gem and you two could hold each others hands now. Sending support your way! xx

You sure have Jen and you will be an inspiration to everyone who reads your posts who see that you worked on Day 1.  You are doing fantastic.

If you feel restless, maybe do a few odd chores around the house and rest when you need to. Take a walk around the block. Staying as active as you can will actually help you sleep better, or at least it did me. A soothing tea like Sleepytime or Valerian root helped calm me, too. You may think about getting some TheraFlu nighttime and add honey since you are having some aches and pains. You've done a fantastic job today :)

How.  can I relax???? Cant sit still. Would love to curl up in a blanket with some tea and a movie, but I cant just sit there. What can I do????

[jusmejen]

Thanks exactly what I was thinking, but also the reason, I have almost gotten through my work day. Now almost time to go home and be mommy. Thank God, my husband has taken sometime off work, to help me out. See< i am so ;lucky, I am sure there are many who have no help. I sure am counting my blessings. OK OK cant stop yawning, runny nose, watery eyes, and achy. Thats ok....Bring it on....I am 20 hours CLEAN!!!!!

[minn66]

OK, only an hour to go! You got this! :D Just think, soon you will be home, snuggled in a comfy blanket with a cup of tea, knowing that YOU MADE IT THROUGH DAY ONE AT WORK!

[minn66]

Just an hour and a half to go! I'm glad you found someone to chat with. It really helps to have someone who is going through the same thing and you can support each other. You're doing it, hun! Oh yeah! :)

[jusmejen]

I will make it, just getting uncomfoftbale. and starting to whine. Sorry guys. The other person that is also on day one..... we have been chatting privatley. She is also doing well.

[jusmejen]

[littlebit667]

Sweet of your boss to try to help!

[Pat1956100]

Hey Jenn,
I don't know if you saw the post from overeasy, it's close to the bottom of page one.  He or she is on day 1 as well and they are looking for someone else to talk with who is on day 1.  Don't know if you are interested but just thought I would point it out.  

[minn66]

Only 3 more hours. Yes! You're going to make it! :D

Although I meant that as a joke on the whole "secret detox" thing, I believe there are a lot more of us out there than one might think. People we wouldn't even imagine.

[jusmejen]

HEY!!!!! I just realized that I am 18 hrs pill free, so I am doing way better then I thought I would be at this stage. I know it is going to get tough, but attitude is half the battle.I am a stubborn b*@#$^%. Feeling ok.

[jusmejen]

I know I offten wonder how many people around me are struggling with the same isssues.Starting to feel abit worse, not to bad though. Would love to go home. Yawning and the chills are begining. Time for some more tea. 3 More hours of work, and I have it beat. Gotta make it!!!

[minn66]

I'm glad you're laughing, Jen. Hmmm, who knows how many of your coworkers are secretly detoxing right now!

[jusmejen]

see this is why God lead me to this site. Perhaps I am laughing now...... I am thinking tomorrow will be a different story. I will gladly take the laughs today. Thanks Guys

[minn66]

Now I know why so many celebrities go to "detox" centers ;) Hang in there, Jen!

[amaria]
