Status update: day 9. No symptoms. No oral craves so far this morning (but I am swilling on the coffee).
I feel great. And I'm so grateful for this site.
If anyone's reading this and considering it, it's worth it. You will have a few days of suffering . . no way to avoid that. But the results are worth it.
I'm far from out of the woods (not even double digits) . . and I suppose none of us are ever "out of the woods." But at this moment I feel like I've got this thing beat, and will continue to beat it one day at a time.
Celebrate your victories, your good days, your achievements. Always remain cautious however. Soon, while you are flying high and feeling great, you will get an unexpected visit from this addiction mistress. She will pull at you, beg you to think about her, taunt you to just get one more small pinch because after all, you are feeling like you beat this thing now, and you can do it again. We will never be out of the woods no. We can never have just one. Each day will be a new promise and a new fight for your life. Some days are easy. Others are not. Count each day. Guard each day.
GA, you are killing this quit. Nice job. It ain't easy but it is so worth it isn't it.
I have been watching from a distance and you my friend are going to be successful with this I can tell.
Nice job and keep on motivating others. That's what this is all about
