Glutten for praise so here i am again!!!

I absolutely fit here...I am finally clean. I can't believe it. And since this is the social board and I am (unlike a lot of addicts), a social butterfly, I must say that it feels really good the day before the serious detox starts. I also am aware that the darkest hour is before the dawn. I do have a question though...
I have felt this detox even on the wean because i was up to so many...
If I use mind over matter, or God's presence, will that truly take away the suffering? I began this journey THIS time on Dec. 8 2009 and dropped from the ugly 40 Lortabs per day, so should I have major withdrawal since I was down to 3?
Honest answers please so I know what to prepare for.
And yes more praise please for flushing them!!! I know, I am a camera hog....I require a lot of attention...but i deserve it this time !(:

I believe that part of the wd is mental.  Fear is such a big thing as we dont know really what to expect.  Look at it as a good thing.  We need to finally rid our bodies of all the toxins we have put into it.  Our body is very forgiving to a point but it also lets us know we havent been very nice to it.  Tapering like you have done will help alot.  You learn to treat your body like it is a temple.  It is the only one we will ever have and we need to feed our body and mind all the healthy things.  You have been given another chance now so take it and run with it.  You wont regret it.........sara

did you really just date yourself with "the funky chicken"???
And yeah, I wrote that last night just before I fell asleep....I was out of sorts. I can't believe I wrote camera hog!!
Anyway, I don't need to know what to expect. If you go back to the other board, you will see I actually said that. "It's none of my business" I believe were my exact words, but like an addict true to form, I snuck over to this board to ask. (:

Going to get it!!! Promise!

Flushers always get top-props here!!!!  It really took some confidence to jump and you know we are crazy proud of you!!!!!

Your biggest battle will be between your ears.  It's not going to be fun but you have likely saved yourself some suffering from getting so low.  

You are worried now because you already feel crappy from dropping so fast.  I would suspect your symptoms will most definitely increase, but you won't be doing the "funky chicken" on the ground.  Unless doing the "funky chicken" is something you like to do of course.

Don't look to the destination from where you are now, it makes the task seem much too onerous.  Look to your next step and walk.  Only the determined ones can get there and it sounds like you have all the tools.

Go get it,

bob
