Thanks, both. It is good to have folk to talk to who really ‘get it’…

It is odd how differently some of us are affected – I have got to day 11, day 9 and, once, a month or so, but never had any issues with anxiety or trouble sleeping (other than waking in a pool of sweat before going back to sleep).

In the past, I’ve wished for day 1 to be the worst and then for it to slowly get better (I think it would be easier if you knew tomorrow was going to be better for sure) but I definitely feel worse today than yesterday…

Still, onwards and upwards for the sake of the rest of my life hopefully!

I’ve got a good 100 tabs in the cupboard and haven’t really been tempted once so I am hoping something has ‘clicked’. I’m binning them today when I pop to the shops and I know that’ll feel good.
