So here I am, on Day Two (and I will post in the 24 hour forum as well). Feeling pretty good, but have like body aches or muscle aches? Or something hurts, just not sure what.

My tension has gone down and I do not feel as nervous or shaky, but just feel kind of tired and achy.

Is this part of detoxing, or is this just me getting a cold or flu or something?

I am hanging in for another 24!!!!

I felt exactly like that. We abused our bodies a lot. . .basically beating it up everyday. I have faith that you will feel better. Hang in there. . .

My body ached for a few days. Maybe 4-5, but gets better everyday. I took an ibuprofen and that seemed to help. Now I hardly ache at all anymore. Day 18 for me. Hang in there.

Congrats on day 2. When i quit drinking it took a while for me to start to feel less tired and achy. It gets easier.

Thanks everyone. I am in a weird place as I quit my job of 19 years and am trying (crossing fingers) to start my own Web business. It's weird being unemployed after so long and having all this free time. I am not sure if it is good or bad. Some days good (I quit 2 1/2 weeks ago) as I really just needed a change, some bad as I am scared as h*ll.

Today I am printing out a resume and looking for part-time work (hopefully that will be enough) to float me along until I get going. Or, maybe my Web work will end up being only part-time. Who's to say?

Meanwhile, bills, bills, bills.

And after thinking about how much I hate musicals last night, I cannot get the Do, Ra, Me song from the Sound of Music out of my head this morning.

Still reading other posts ... love that I am here.

And where is that 24 hour thread? I wanted to post and can't find it.
