Day 2

[WantTheGoodLifeNow]

I was here back in October, but relapsed after 4 days. I tried a few times in between but never made it past day 4. I am at it again, and want to make it stick. I know what to expect but I am still nervous and scared. I hate detox, absolutely whole heartedly hate detoxing. I just want to feel normal and feel like I will never feel normal. I wish I never took that first pill, I wanna scream and cry at the same time. I am on vacation this week so I figure this is the only chance I have to get thru the worst of it, but man is a pill calling my name. I don't want to think like this but it just takes over my mind. I hate this! Any encouragement would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey I just wanted to send some support. You can do this. Do you have imodium and supplies ?  You are still out of town until Saturday right ? No access right ?    If you can't sleep just get up and watch tv. Tossing and turning will just make it worse .  You just hang in there and it will get better soon. You can do it !!!

I just hope I can make it thru the night my stomach is cramping I'm tired but can't sleep I hate this so much! I hope this is the worst of it because I can't take much more :(

I remember when I couldnt sleep I would get up after tossing and turning and I would read or watch a movie nothing with to much drama  maybe a comedy something that will make you feel happy:)
You can do this and I Know its hard but just remember have a plan in place when you start to have an anxiety issue  maybe a walk or call a friend so you can push thru it. Just doing little things will help you even taking a shower to relax yourself. I will be checking back to see how you are doing, keep posting and reading it helps alot :)
You are taking your life back! and it will be so much better.

I slept good the first night but last night was a whole lot of tossing n turning driving myself nuts! I am hoping with being out today n walking a little and just not lounging will help me to sleep a little better but I am not counting my chickens before they hatch!

day 4 for me I started to feel a little better the anxiety let up a bit and I was able to deal with it more for me I quit trying to fight it the anxiety and learned to ride the  waves , just try your best to keep your mind clear and remember each day you will see it does get better, I took many walks in the late afternoon and exercised it helped get those endorphins going  and helps with restless legs, How are you sleeping at night?

Yea I am 2 hours away from home camping, this seemed like the best opportunity as I had this week off. I am doing alright. I just took 2 immodium n a 500 mg magnesium hoping that the magnesium will help my legs a little. When I wake up tomorrow it will be day 4, I have to keep telling myself this will get better its the only thing that keeps me going. Thanks for your words of encouragement, much appreciated.
