We are all different, but I have to agree...Thinking about detox, worrying about it, staying up nights because of the anxiety - it was all worse than the detox itself, and mine was truly hell.  Once I was in to it I felt like I was doing something about my addiction. No more wondering, no more putting it off for another day - it was on, I was in it. Can't say I've never looked back; I use those days in hell to remind me that no, I can't handle it. No, it WILL be as bad next time, IF there is a next time. And I have to consider that a next time might kill me.

Once you are clean awhile, the detox actually seems pretty mild compared to living life on life's terms. I would lean toward sharing what you believe, not what the facts are, because there are no universals here, only individual experiences we share.

Actually that is not a fact! Mental attitude plays a huge part in how Wd's go. Often the fear is worse than the experience! Wd's are uncomfortable surely but that is only a few days out of your life to gain freedom back!
