Last night was horrible. I was sweating and had a terrible headache. It was like swearing off s*x for the first time, only worse. Contrary to what people think, those of us with s*x addiction also go through withdrawals. Some medications can help, but they only take the edge off.
I had gone to bed early after we got back from Doc's. My head was pounding as I longed for Ava. Reading was impossible, so all I could do was lie in my bed and sweat it out.
This morning was way better. I woke up with a song in my heart and felt better than I had in days. I think Ava's text about looking forward to seeing me had a profound effect. I rushed Marcus through breakfast and took off a good ten minutes before him. I gave him the route I planned on taking and said goodbye.
