Thanks so much for all the advice and support :two_hearts: does anybody have any tricks to help with detox symptoms such as the night sweats and horrible sleep? I’m gonna try melatonin, but that ( may or may not ) have given me weird dreams in the past- I’m having freaky dreams now anyway - maybe it’s just that I’m not entering as deep a sleep and so remembering them :woman_shrugging:

I don't know what you are detoxing from but depending on how long and how much you've been using I'm sure youll be able to decide if a home detox is a good idea or not

Chew gum, clean out junk drawers, closets, your dresser, work out, walk, run, pray and anything to keep your mind busy. You got this.

Your body and mind are resilient af, but if it was 10 miles into the woods, it’s 10 miles back out. Be patient. Be kind to yourself. Drink more water than you ever have before. If you’re detoxing from alcohol you should start to feel a bit better at day 5. That’s when the night sweats, shakes and insomnia just kind of broke. It didn’t go away, just peaked and then started loosening up a bit.

Trader Joe’s well rested tea helped me, also creating a night time routine and reading the big book until my eyes got heave. It takes time but I sleep sound now and have no trouble falling asleep.

Thank you- sounds right… I’ve experienced the same before, about a week of really uncomfortable night sweats, then gets better. No way to dodge it, I suppose. Attitude makes a difference too, like you said- 10 miles in- 10 miles out. Knowing it’s not forever. Thanks :blush:
