seriously...when will I stop sweating???

[vicluvr28]

I'm in day 3 c/t w/d and I honestly think I'm about to dehydrate from all of this sweating.  Can someone please tell me when this is going to subside?

I think that all the emotions that were buried, all come back during the first 2 weeks! It's wonderful AND overwhelming. God forgives and is full of mercy.

[vicluvr28]

Maybe you are right, but I'm just feeling this rush of emotions today.  I've been thinking about all of the lying I've done, all of the medicine cabinets I've rummaged through, all of the money I've spent and I just can't help thinking that I deserve some kind of punishment for my actions.  Must be that catholic upbringing coming back to haunt me!

You don't deserve this.  Maybe you aren't feeling you deserve it.  Maybe you just want to be in control, and feel that taking the valium is not being in control?  

[vicluvr28]

thanks for the encouragement.  I've been trying to keep busy with solitaire and reading these posts (and chain smoking, thats my next quit).  my doc gave me a few valium to get me through the worst parts, but somehow I feel like its almost a cop-out.  Like maybe I should be feeling this way...like I deserve it or something?  Does that sound crazy?

I'm on day 8 and I'm still sweating at night while sleeping.  But I hear it's going to get better.  But it IS much better than it was in day three.

I hate the sweats. Different for everybody but it does pass,tomorrow will be better and if not then Saturday will def be better. Stick with it your almost through the physical part of this stuff. Day 3 is usually the worst. Keep your mind busy,read a book,puzzles or crosswords do wonders for passing time.

Sweats and chills subside in a few days. Be patient and know that sweating is one way the body detoxes this crud out of you. Drink lots of fluids, Gatorade too. Bananas hydrate and feed potassium into you. I would say that in a day or so it lets up quite a bit.

It will be alot less tomorrow.

Hang in there !!! you will be fine in a couple days.
