Thank you all for your support and good ideas! I actually just skipped the tea last night and I actually slept! Whoo-hoo! I think I will try the bucket idea from now on...Thank goodness I live alone! I really like the idea of drinking one cup of salt water followed by fresh water. I think I will try that tomorrow morning. You say it worked the same, huh? That sounds a lot easier to tolerate.
Day 6 today...all of these suggestions should make the next 8 days much better! Thanks!
