today at 3:00pm I will be four days clean...

today seems to be VERY difficult although I am at work and over this past weekend I laid around at home.  Although I did do some Christmas shopping yesterday....I feel very very cold right now...I even wore a long sleeve t-shirt under my uniform...still freezing...and I keep yawning long and with conviction....please tell me these signs will go away and if so when.  I just keep going one day at a time...the holidays are coming and I want to enjoy them with my beautiful daughter.  I am detoxing on my own "Cold Turkey"

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! What are you detoxing from? How much per day, and how long were you taking it? This information will help us give you better advice. Congrats on the 4 days! It's amazing that you are at work, as typically day 4 is near the peak of withdrawals. It sounds like your symptoms may be fairly mild. You can check out the Thomas Recipe, the link is at the bottom of this page, for some things you can do to ease the symptoms if necessary. For sure, drink lots of fluids, and take some vitamins and supplements. Good luck! Keep posting with any questions or if you need some support! Take care!
