fascinating to read this thread.
lots of terrific peeps giving you solid words.
Just one thing - you don't have to pretend anything.
You're letting everyone in your world there think you got a flu, mom's gonna make chicken soup, you've DVR'd, stock piled comfort stuff, got the weekend off...."it'll be like camping but sick".
Plus you've got plenty of peeps here that are sticking with you.
Keep in mind firmly that detox is to another person is exactly like the flu.
It looks like it, smells like it and acts like it.
Cheers!
