Amen!!! I don't know your story, but your success story is awesome!! Good luck with your forever journey!! I am on day 3 and having very minimal w/d's.. I won't bore you with the details, if you are interested I just wrote a post about my experience so far and asked why no evil symptoms. My husband is kind of dissapointed because I am not suffering enough and he thinks I will end up taking more meds soon. But the truth is, I feel amazing since I quit, except for the minor w/d's... I love not feeling groggy in the morning. Enjoy your accomplishment!! Good luck again... and thank you for sharing your story and admission!! God Bless YOU!!!

Congrats on 8 days!!  You have fought hard and it is paying off.  Am glad to hear you are going to get some recovery care.  That will be so helpful.  Make your clean time the most sacred thing in your life and protect it with everything you have~~~~sara
