Hey again,

Like they say......"fake it until you make it!!!!"

You aren't pitiful, you are detoxing!!!

It's very hard for anyone who has not done this before to be supportive.  We need only think back to our OWN notions of what an addict was before we ourselves became addicted.  "it's all in your head, why don't you just stop???"  "it's your own fault!!!"   You know......those types of thoughts!!!!

You just keep hanging in there and you WILL feel better eventually.  Hopefully soon your smile will no longer need to be painted on!!!!
