Ok I'll begin...
Sat as I was cleaning, I needed space in my kitchen cabinets and I instantly grabbed my medicine basket and decided to empty out ALL my medications I've been hoarding for years. Most of these meds I haven't taken in ages, but I found myself not wanting to get rid of it, thinking I might need it or I could give it to someone else. When i admitted this to Amy a few days ago, I saw how toxic this thinking was, so I took action!
I first dumped it into the trash bin, but then decided I didn't want someone to find it - I did not want to contribute to other people taking this poison. I thought about dumping it in the toilet, then I remembered reports of prescription drugs in our water system - by dumping it into our water supply we are spreading the poison, so I just dumped all the pills in the trash bin and recycled the plastic bottles! I think that is the best way to responsibly dispose of drugs!!
There are some SERIOUS controlled substances in this trash: ritalin, xanax, klonopin, wellbutrin, provigil, birth control, asthma steroid inhalers.....- yikes! just writing out these names is embarrassing but i have to admit i used to take these. how real it is to see it like this - now it will never enter my body again. the healing begins...
I challenge everyone to look at the unwanted medications and do the same! Blog it - you're it~!

I can't believe you had ritalin and klonopin in your mix...I would have been so tempted! I can only imagine how much lighter and cleaner you felt after purging out all of those toxic pills.
You have inspired me to take the first step in the purging and cleaning process. I have taken pictures of the current condition that my cabinets, closets and cluttered spaces are in. Opening these doors has made me consciously see what I surround myself with and in.
Once I purge I will be excited to see the difference. I already know what a difference it will make but, being able to act on it will be the challenge in this process. Especially when it comes to my closet and boxes.
