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.

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!

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.

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 !!!

You're welcome friend.  I know it sux.  The lack of sleep helped me after a couple of days of it I was kind of loopy and manic. Then came the energy crash. I was on some heavy duty stuff though.  It should be easier for you friend
