Day 24 almost done and dusted. Proper down feeling – not sure why. Had a couple of moments at work thinking ‘this would be better if I had that buzz’ – it goes to show that this is a long term thing and not to get complacent and think ‘I’ll just have one’.

The good news is that it wasn’t a physical craving and they have all but gone – just my mind coping with ‘new’ situations (that we always coped with before you ever tried a pill) again. I did binge on junk food for three weeks after I quit so perhaps that’s it as I’ve been healthy the past two days.

Anyway, moan over – I keep telling myself ‘if you can do one day – you can do this one and the next’. This is the same for everyone here regardless of if it’s day 1 or day 100.
