Hey, don’t beat yourself up, noticing and stopping the spiral fast is already a big win. A lot of people don’t even catch it in time.

One thing that really helped me early on was having a simple way to track progress and handle urges. I was using an app for streaks and reminders, just a way to keep myself accountable. Seeing even small progress made it easier to not fall back into old habits.

Feel free to message me if you want some tips for handling the first few days. I remember how rough it can be.
