It sure does take a while. I dont know why they say 5 -10 days. I think its BS! I know everyone is not the same and it does depend on Quanity and Time of course. But.... im hopefull 22 days is a reasonable amount of clean time. Do you guys agree?
I know its getting better, but I can still feel it, no doubt about it. I think its hard to notice the improvment when you go ct. Im sure I feel better than I think i do, i just dont realize it?
Does that make any sense

Yep! I agree..that 5 - 10 day thing total BS...w/d truly does last alot longer...I remember thinking that I was really dying...that I had truly done it with my last run...irreparable damage....but things did get better...but definitely not even close to days....it was weeks....
Just resign yourself to the fact that you are getting better everyday...try really hard not to think about it...because when we do..it just seems to make it drag out longer....I think your amazing accomplishing all the things that you are while detoxing off that poison...you will make it!!

Hi again RD, I was told in early recovery "you're right where you're suppose to be" ~ yuck, hated to hear those words..but really all that anyone has is today, it's just a one day at a time program...I have over three years of sobriety, but my 15 year old daughter has 22 days just like you and walking through this with her makes me feel newly sober all over again too! You're doing great!
Thanks guys. I dont understand though?
If i were to take a drug test, I would be 100% clean. So why are there still toxins in my body?
Or how do they get out how long etc
Im off to the library

If you can go the gym..even for an hour and run run run...then to the steamroom and stay in there as long as you can take it and sweat those toxins out! This helps big time...I did it...it worked also make sure you are drinking gallons of water...to the point you are walking around with a giggly belly!
Go get em tiger.....lol...I can't believe I said that!!!

hey keekee I just hung up with Red, and told him the same thing, I go to the gym every day, once I am done, I hit the hot tub, then I sit in the sauna room and sweat until I can't take it anymore.
He said once his classes are over he is going back to the gym.
Last night we played racquetball, and the sweat made me feel better, to rid of the same thing you said, toxins from every day living.
People also must be mindful of replacing the loss of sweat with water. Very important.

Reddog- You have a great attitude..you are so positive in your recovery..yep..you've come a long way..be proud of yourself and keep going
So true Brooke...I love it when I sweat...I have to work hard to get a sweat going but when you do you just know that things are working the way they should!
Racquetball!!! thats fantastic..you are a better women than I...lol...I was always so terrified of that little room with those balls whacking around!! Great way to work up a sweat!!!!!
I have just started back running...I used to run alot...loved it...but when your just starting out again after taking a hiatus...it HURTS!! Every bone in my ol bod is killing me...especially my big leg muscles...oowww...hurts to sit even..lol...there are some pretty steep hills where I am....so I just gotta get through the initial few days of pain..then..it feels so good to get those natural endorphins pumping again!

Your doing a great job, Try not to focus on the amount of days so much, just try to relish in the fact that you are CLEAN, that is a huge accomplishment.
Counting days can make it seem to drag forever, or at least it did me.
Keep up the good work.
Hugs.

Red, I remember almost a year ago joining this board and going c/t from oxys and everyone saying in time I would start feeling like my old self. I would sit here and say ya right it isn't happening but I hung in there and I'm glad I did because they were right. It didn't happen as fast as I would of liked it to but it did happen over time. Stay strong and keep the faith. Shantel
Java it was nice--pool was cool they did not put the heater on., The water temp was perfect. like swimming in a lake.
Yea its nice living in paradise. Just hard to make a living--
Have a good night--Jeff
