24 hours more please.. It will be my 5th day... I can say that I have been able to detox safely with help of the medicines given by my Doc . But hard part begins as tapering of detox medicines , are causing some mild withdrawal symptoms.. I have made up my mind that I have no choice but to go through those withdrawal symptoms.

The rewards will come for you effort. It won't seem that way for a while. But it is the truth and it is worth it. Wishing you all the best.

OPENING UP TO CHANGE
Self-searching is the means by which we bring new vision, action, and grace to bear upon the dark and negative side of our natures. With it comes the development of that kind of humility that makes it possible for us to receive God's help. . . . we find that bit by bit we can discard the old life — the one that did not work — for a new life that can and does work under any conditions whatever.
— AS BILL SEES IT, pp. 10, 8
I have been given a daily reprieve contingent upon my spiritual condition, provided I seek progress, not perfection. To become ready for change, I practice willingness, opening myself to possibilities of change. If I realize there are defects that hinder my usefulness in A.A. and toward others, I become ready by meditating and receiving direction. "Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely" ( Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 58). To let go and let God, I need only surrender my old ways to Him; I no longer fight nor do I try to control, but simply believe that, with God's help, I am changed and affirming this belief makes me ready. I empty myself to be full of awareness, light, and love, and I am ready to face each day with hope.
Here for anther 24 hrs.
I like to share this because it give me the strength of keep going.

We are heading out of town soon; don't know what Wifi is going to be like; didn't want anyone to worry.
I'll check-in when I can.
