Hey, just wanted to let you all know that reading your posts is inspiring! I am going on about 18 hours since tossing my last can in the garbage....this sucks....but I know I need to do it! Just been "floating" through the day at work....
Floating is what we call "the fog". That will pass.
To start with, you'll have more bad days than good. After about 2 weeks (different for different people, but that's a healthy average), those good and bad days will even out. After 3 weeks to a month, you'll have more good than bad. Again, this is all dependent on the person. Drink a ton of water, and then drink some more. Pure cranberry juice (call around to find it) helps a bunch. Exercise when craves hit hard. Slam out as many push ups as you can. Do wall squats. Go for a run or a jog.
Stay close to the site. You can win your battle each day. The war never ends, but the battles can be won. You have to gut it out, look your addiction in the eye and laugh, and then revel in your victory. Refuse to fail.
