I love your attitude, too!! AND...I am in no way taking away from the discomfort you are about to go through, BUT...consider yourself lucky, because aside from a medical detox, your detox week is going to be about as easy as it gets for most of us...you don't have to work, you can hole up in the bedroom, you have your husband to lean on and to help you out with everyday household things, etc...TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!!! I love hearing these stories, because you have a great chance for success right now!
you can do this,,remember one day at a time,,,be strong, and keep with us. we are here for you!!!
hugs
Way to go!!! I love your attitude!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Just keep believing in yourself and come here often!!! Keep posting and reading - that's what helped me. I'm glad you have a support system at home too. You are in my prayers!!!
hugs,
Janet
Congrats on the decision to quit! Sounds like you have a good attitude and a very solid plan in place to help you through it :) Posting and reading at this site and some melatonin would be the only 2 things I could add to your list badsneakers. Good luck to you jen keep us posted :)
You have a plan of attack and have accepted that you will be sick for a week...have support at home and are going to make it...the cards are stacked in your favor!
Congrats on choosing a new existence...and remember too...take your vitamins, drink lots of water and antioxidant containing juices (cranberry, blueberry, etc...) eat simple foods like oatmeal if you can...keep pepto or something like that on hand...take hot baths, steams or saunas if yo can...walk and exercise if you can force yourself too...keep a towel on hand at night for the sweats...um...what else? anybody?
You are going to do great!! Your attitude will help. Lemme tell you that in a week or so you will feel like a new person.. The support from hubby is gonna really help. I pretty much checked out for about 10 days....actually I was never really in while using. I just thought I was. Three weeks today and I can finally say I am back...It feels WONDERFUL. You can do this and we are here for you.
Take lots of hot baths...they saved me
Love,
Kim
