Hello Chy
I've learned tons of stuff reading the responses in this thread and others. For one thing the 90 days seams to be a sort of threshold or breakaway period. After that it's maintaining a built up lifestyle (one day at a time). This morning I woke up without serious shaking, and after lots of water and one of my girlfriend's fruit juices, I went to the store. My feet just happened to be going in that direction, so I went along. Yes I pray, and it seems that my Higher Power has taken the physical distress away. Now I guess it's time to stop being a wimp and do what so many people on these boards have done, QUIT. I keep thinking of Freddie Fender - "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights". He was singing about jail time, but this stuff is a volontary jail chosen on a daily basis. I choose it daily! But I WILL reach the point you have, that I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Enough. Like Don suggested I'll try a whole 24 hours next time, and then another one, one day at a time.
Take care
Wiebe
