Is anyone familiar with the Ali-Foreman fight in Africa?
That's what I feel like......I'll keep taking these punches and lean against the ropes. Eventually, I'll come out swinging and I suspect the wds will fall in the middle of the ring.
I think I'll get a copy of that fight to watch today.

Jer,
Keep slugging away and rest on the ropes when you need to. It does get easier and so much better...honest...

mrjer! I am following your posts! I just hate to imagine day 2 or 3 at this point. We are doing it! I kicked two terrible pill addictions since november 12. I was in the tub the first few days. (hot as I could stand it) I felt like someone kicked the crap out of me repeatably! The gut ache, or the back? It is all bad, keep it up though, I am really feeling free at day 10, (the second stopping point was later, ( I must have wanted TWO seperate withdrawal weeks, because thats what I got) I don't know what you are coming off of or how much, but methadne was the worst. I had no idea it was a different monster.
I can still appriciate that hot shower though! Brenda

I am coming off about 10 to 12 10/500 hydros. I seem to be taking lots of body-shots now, but the fight analogy is working for my. That's cool that you have made it this far.....you are just about ready to start punching back!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it up!
Strange: I feel like I am getting mentally stronger even though I feel physically terrible.
Ali was "The Greatest!"

You guys are fantastic!
Detox sucks...no way around it...but it will get better. Everyone here has done it and lived to tell about it and joke about it too. You will not remember how specifically crappy you feel...lol, thank God. Try to though, it is a big motivator in not using again.
Keep up the good work!

Mrjer and Brendidi,
Both of you are a inspiration to me and other people who are fighting addiction. You are telling people that quiting isn't easy but you're going to fight this with everything you have.
Your analogy of fighting with George Forman during this time is so true. Thank you for saying that. It made me laugh and cry at the same time.
Soon you will look back and remember these first days. You will look back and know how strong you really are.
