Today Is the Day – Let’s Go!

Finally, the moment has arrived. Yesterday I took my last dose of the pills I’ve been on for 16 years.

It’s exciting. It’s terrifying. But above all, it’s liberating.

Breaking Free from What Wasn’t Working

A few months ago, my doctor told me I couldn’t quit these pills. He insisted I stop taking every other medication except this one. Even when he maxed out my dosage and it still didn’t work for months, he told me to keep taking them.

Why? Because it was easier for him to prescribe them than to actually help me deal with the real issue.

And that’s exactly why I’m a rebel with a cause.

I don’t know if this is the right path. But I do know that the path I was on—the one that was chosen for me—was most definitely not it.

Facing the Withdrawals Head-On

I won’t sugarcoat it—withdrawal is brutal. It’s not for the faint of heart. But I’ll get through it.

In my mind, I’m giving myself a month to see how my body responds. In the meantime, I’ll stick to my plan, my daily schedule, and my commitment to healing.

I won’t pretend I’m not struggling. I am.

But I’m determined to push through.

And I can’t wait to prove myself right and to write about it.

Because I’m still not done proving myself. I’m not done exposing the flaws in this healthcare system. I’m not done telling my truth.
