The first two days will be hell, believe me :). The mind will crave for talking, listing to music, reading the web, etc. The thirst will become bigger and bigger. On my first retreat, I decided to leave after two days. I told my meditation guide at the daily personal meeting that I would stop. He jokingly said "I'll make sure that you get the refund". His light-hearted response made me realize that I made a monster out of my cravings for daily distractions. I continued the retreat. It was amazing!
