Kudos to you for pushing through and working on day 3 of detox! Wow you have a very good attitude and I can feel that you will get through this! You know a lot of people would have made excuses (understandably) because they couldn't get time off And look at you out there pushing through it! Days 3 and 4 are usually the most intense and then it gets better from there. Great  job!  To all of you just starting out best to all and congratulations on your decision to get clean. Hang in there, stay close to here. The pain is bad but the payoff is awesome!

Your doing great! It's tough having to work as I had too as well. I looked at it like you if I was sitting home I would have drove myself CRAZY! Working makes the days go by faster that's for sure. Very proud of you. This form is a god sent and has helped me so much get to where I am. I am still pushing through! It's so wonderful to get the help/advice that everyone on this forum gives. Keep up the good work!!!

I love, love youtube especially when I'm feeling down and can't sleep.
I think I've watched every blooper reel there is.  It's so nice to actually feel and laugh OUT LOUD again.  It really feels good.

I really hope you get some sleep too.  
How was the bath?

Fingers crossed that you get some sleep!! Its elusive for awhile and is usually the last thing to return so don't get discouraged if that happens:) Keep your mind busy in your down time.. Don't sit around and think about how your feeling.. Music was/is a God send for ne. I fought through cravings and stuff one song at a time :)

[West218]

I feel you sincerely I'm barely on my 26th hour and My God it's getting worse! I expected it but my nights are terrifying at the same time! I'm eating nothing but soups and Gatorade..watching a survivor man series in marathon knowing hes struggling also lol! It feels better when I keep soups in my stomach! Did I mention my nights are terrifying lol! Keep it up.. your helping others with a few days positive! Looking forward to your 72 hrs! Thanks :)

[ineedhelp29]

[ShiShan]

grats!  

i'm on day four, you can do it, please don't give up.

i've been eating great grains cereal to feed my body during all of this and drinking loads of almond milk which i can say has helped greatly with feeling nourished.  i can't do anything heavy on the stomach yet.

it's going to take longer than a few days for our brains/bodies to get back to semi normal .. wishing you all the best.

[ineedhelp29]

I honestly plan on stickin around here as long as its here to write on because i know just because the symptoms stip doesnt meen im done i no this is a battle for the rest of my life...a very winnable battle but a battle none the less....im praying fpr a couple hours of sleep tonight and back to work in the am im goin lay in the tub chexk back in later.....ty friends hugs and love to all of yall we can dang sure do this together.....guess we are a family of addicts which to me couldnt be better you all kno the rough side of life just like me and thats alot to be happy about :-)

[ineedhelp29]

Ty and pweeew im glad to hear in at or around my peak is this crap dont make you not want to go threw this again i dont know what can......im running a HOTTTT!!!! Bath right now and might just sleep there :-)

[Pat1956100]

I agree with ariley.  Day 3 was the worst for me too.  Hang on tight.
It will pass.  Just when you think you can't take it any more you have to fight hard and know that it will pass.  Then it will seem to come in waves which will come less frequent and fade away.

Sweety so many people have helped me on this forum.  We have all been through it and we truly do care about each other.
Make sure you stick around.  You will have other symptoms to deal with later but don't worry about that now.  Just focus on today and getting through it clean.

Hugs
Pat

Good for you for standing your ground with the 'friend'. I think your symptoms are peaking, which is a good thing. It means this is it. It will all be downhill from here. Usually day 3 or 4 is when this happens. I'm glad you are off work now and hope you can relax a little. Get that hot bath you've been dreaming of all day! ;)  Keep up the fight amigo, you are doing a great job!

[ineedhelp29]

Oops i mean i am off work lol

[ineedhelp29]

Hello friends i am not off of work and the symtoms are getting worse and more frequent and im praying that i am almost to the too of this steep jagged mountain i am attemptin to climb..i wanna thank all of you for careing enough to take your time and respond to me it means the world to me thatvi now have the support ive been praying for since i was 16 and my mom passed away and my dad told me i had to go (he couldbt handle raiseing a kid) and keep in might the year before i quit school to get a job because my mon was sick and in the hospital and he was hurt badly from a wreck to put food on the table and help with my baby brother..so i truly from the bottom of my heart thank all of you...
Pat i almost broke down to see you cared enough and thought i was off work or about to be off to ask about my well being which not one of my so called friends that know what im doin called not.once to see how in doin just continue to text to find out if i can get roxy are other pills...so i politely cursed a few of em out in one of the mood swings this sickness seems to put you through......but you would not believe how much this has helped and touch my heart so thank you:-)

[Pat1956100]

Just checking in.  How are you doing?
The work day is almost over and that hot bath will be so nice.
Let us know how you're doing.

[OpenMind24hours]

Hot epsom salt baths will diffuse just about any problems you may encounter. When i went through detox just the relaxation from them really helped me out. It sure looks like you're well on your way to getting through this!

[oldaddict]

You are going to be surprised at how much better you feel this time tomorrow. Good job.

[ROSYouralright]

This is true!!! Laying around makes it so much worse!!! Just get through today!! That's all you have to worry about... Today!!

You are going to make it!!
You have a fighting spirit and that can make all the difference in the world!

[ineedhelp29]

[ROSYouralright]

You are doing G R E A T! In the thick of WD's and at work!!! Each day you will be feeling better than the last! It's weird but working and keeping busy will actually speed things along for you! DON'T GIVE UP!
