Fire breather

So it’s been like a solid three days and besides the full body cramping, the occasional searing headache and the restlessness I think I’m doing pretty good considering I’m going cold turkey. I’m restricted to my bed but it’s not cause of any of the above symptoms, it’s my throat the is burning up. It’s like a volcano erupts when I go to swallow just my saliva. I have never felt such pain. I’ve already had two strong painkillers, lemon and honey drinks, cough syrup - nothing is helping. I gargled some vinegar, it felt like Freddy Kruger and Edward scissorhands went to town on my throat several times. It was the most painful experience I’ve had in a long time. It didgive me momentary relief about five minutes later though for a short period of time, I wouldn’t suggest doing that again... just salt? I want to cough but I just know it is going to be so painful 😖 and I honestly... am already in so much pain... but totally worth it. Glad I’m this sick, great deterrent. Everyone else can do it too, just gotta do what you want to do to be happy. They will never be able to be a part of this equation. Stay strong!
