Congratulations on day 2!!

You can get through all of this! Drink more water, drink some gatorade, eat small amounts even if you aren't hungry and Keep Healing!

Congrats on 2 days. A great start. The detox will not be easy, those toxins want to be dulled back into submission, you can get past this.

Congrats on day 2! Hang in there. As another poster said, drink lots of water and grab some candy or something with a little sugar in it.

Glad to hear from you on day two. For me cravings are different from panic attacks, but they have one thing in common - they both are awful. Fortunately both have become less frequent the longer I've stayed sober. You can absolutely do that. I had to want sobriety more than everything else in the world, still do. Then I had to take steps to protect my sobriety, hour by hour, minute by minute. Hang in there trikyriky, we're pulling for you

Hey trikyriky,

I may have mentioned this to you before, but have you tried any of the other resources that may be available to you besides SR? I thought I could stop on my own too but after several failed attempts I realized that I needed some additional help. I started to see an addiction counselor. I still had some slips. Then I VERY RELUCTANTLY went to AA. More progress but still a slip or two. I just completed an intensive outpatient program with random drug testing. I think I needed that potential of being testing to help me build some momentum. As I write this I am 50 days sober. I never thought I would get here, but I never gave up! You shouldn't either.

Now that my IOP is done I am relying on the support here along with several AA meetings a week to help me continue my sobriety. I still see my addiction counselor once a month. Best wishes to you, you CAN do this! Hugs, PG

Glad it passed. Seems to be in the normal range to me. If it gets worse call a doc and don't play around with it. Hope you Have a great Picnic. Getting up and about helped me a lot early on. Waking up I felt like a freight train had run over me while I slept a lot of morning early on. Day 2! keep 'em coming.
