Hi everyone!
I’m on day 15 today! Physical symptoms are gone and I’m very pleased to say that since day 11 I have been falling asleep myself and staying asleep. It’s still very strange to me, I still have to be in my own head while I’m nodding off but I’m learning.
I have cravings today but more emotional than physical if that makes sense?
Mentally, I don’t feel super but I’m reminding myself that I’ve been numb for a long time and now I have to rewire my brain and learn my triggers to learn new coping mechanisms.

Hello to the newbies! The one thing that helped me each time was just telling myself get through this day, get through this hour, minute etc I think the mental effects are easier when the physical side effects go.
Well done to everyone continuing on this journey I really enjoyed reading your updates and it’s given me a boost for today.
Onwards we go ????
