Nice to see so many folks in this class!
I started a new med and one of the side effects is sweating. Woke up in the middle of the night in a puddle and it reminded me of the first few days of withdrawal. Momentarily questioned if I relapsed and then remembered that was months off. Thank goodness. It wasn't pleasant but was such a relief when I realized. It's the little things.
Daria, I started a couch to 5k, too! Jogging helps me clear my head. I suck at it but it's nice to have alone time out in the world.

Fought through NASTY cravings yesterday!!! However, chilly dogs and milkshakes are not the solution LOL! Putting a nature hike right in the middle of the day today. And a friend turned me on to Green Chef yesterday so I have some healthy food coming my way next week. :-) Day 29!!

Morning/afternoon all!
Start of Day 3 here. I've got a busy day of exams and interview prep, so I'll probably be away a good chunk of it, but I'll check-in later after classes are over this evening and I get my run in.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Octoberites
Congrats on day 6 Jimi
. One week is an 'easy' step from here!
Daria - day 3 is a great start - I am so impressed you are able to deal with your busy day. Day 3's for me are PJ's, SR and TV (getting my acronym fix for the day).
Welcome to the Octoberites Resurgence.
Kittie - yes it is great that this class is growing and getting more and more active. i so love it when I check in and have new posts to read. Please don't think I am not caring, but I did have a giggle about your med-sweats. I do hope that they don't last too long - although the reminder of withdrawal symptoms might not be a bad thing. I hated the smell of my bedroom in those early days - I think the sweats were mostly smelly alcohol toxins!
Misc - I think chilli dogs and milkshakes are a perfect solution to nasty cravings. So much better than booze - and you can remove the negatives with your nature hike. Good on you for not succumbing to the cravings. Theory has it that they should come around less and less often, and shouldn't last as long so great that you worked through it - with the yummy dog and shake.
FF - hope you get out soon, and also hope that they can give you some ideas what is bringing on the seizures so you can work towards a lifestyle that doesn't end up in a hospital bed.
To the rest of the Octoberites - hope you are dong well. Please post if you are able to let us know how you are going.
Time for a coffee for me (morning here in Australia) and then keep myself busy with my office furniture restoration project.
Take care....

Hi Ral - what's up? Is it the withdrawal stuff that is bringing you down? Physical / emotional! If it is, please know that in another day's time you will feel so much better. Do you think it is worth having a chat to your doctor to get something to make it a little easier? Please hang in there and take care of yourself. Thoughts are with you - particularly as those first few days are still very fresh in my mind.

Like I always say, if anyone, anyone feels shaky, reach out to me by PM or text. I'm not going anywhere and I fought the battles man.
RIP Eddie Van Halen. A legend and a musical hero of mine since I bought their first record when I was in jr. high.
