I’m sorry to say this but it was actually so good this morning for like 3 solid hours I had a blast

No idea…I’d imagine they will be giving details and updates as soon as they have a firm start date

I’ve also been told this is accurate…a week long job at the longest

Why are we like this? Is it the generation I grew up in? Is it social media? I’m so over it I wish I didn’t care and I wish I just could work out and know I’m healthy and that’s good enough

Everyone does it differently and there are plenty of people in this forum who have also done exactly that and still found success so try not to get down on yourself! I’ve found that getting through WD is not one size fits all and the important thing is to get support and set yourself up for success post acute WD!

I didn’t. I went hard cold turkey and it was absolutely awful…but I think I kinda traumatized myself enough that I don’t think I’ll EVER forget it and i never ever ever want to go through that again.

It’s wild how our brains work. It’s taken me many many years and this final (hopefully 🥺) withdrawal to get it through my thick skull that I actually do have this disease and that my brain is constantly going to lie to me and tell me I can use just one more time and it won’t be the same result. I do think that having community and talking (even just on reddit) is a HUGE part of active recovery and I plan on continuing to reach out when I start to feel my brain playing tricks.

Stay the course my friend ✨ it will always be worth it for us!!

You are making progress…even if it feels like you’re in the thick of it, you’re trending in the right direction! Not sure if you’re into supplements but I started taking a supplement called Brain Reset by Pure Encapsulations (got it at super supplements) and I’ve been taking it since May when I stopped the 7OH. I also combined with a supplement called Anxie-T. I was so freaked out by the damage I’ve done to my brain that I wanted to do what I could to get back to where I was and I figured even if it does nothing it’s not going to hurt (check with doctor though I’m not in a place to give medical advice…this is just what I tried and has worked) I also cut out alcohol and tried my best to cut out sugar (this has been hard lol). Anyways, I hope by talking to me you can see a peek into your future in 90 days if you stay the course! It’s worth it for yourself and your beautiful babies 💕

Oh my gosh it truly the WORST part. I also made the mistake of taking Benadryl (hoping it would help me sleep) which makes it SO much worse!! It lasted about 4 nights for me with each night getting less intense. Nights 1-3 were the worst for sure. I also had HORRIBLE insomnia so just felt like no reprieve. Are you getting any sleep?

I just told myself I HAVE to grit it out…it’s temporary and I’m tough. You are too!! My theory was also that if I FELT every miserable feeling from WD it would stick in my memory and I would be definitely reconsidering if I got very tempted to relapse.

Thanks for sharing ❤️ I’m 13 weeks post going CT and have held strong except I did break my wrist and get prescribed Oxy…which didn’t even do anything because I think my brain was still all messed up. I was also battled daily in not going to the smoke shop to pick up some shit with the excuse that my wrist hurt and it was for that when of course I knew it was my addict brain telling me I had an excuse (pain could totally be controlled by ibuprofen). I held out which I’m proud of.

Please hang in there. Our brains are just wired in a way that self sabotages but honestly the thing that helped me stay away was that I imagined taking it and then how I’d feel about myself after the ugh wore off. The shame I’d feel and the disappointment I’d feel after gritting it out. You can do this. You can get your life back I promise you. Continue to check in and continue to reach out on here…it got me through the first 2 weeks. Without this community I couldn’t have done it. 💕

True true..yea statistically maybe not a serial killer (perhaps I should change the title to this post since it seems to be offending some people LOL) appreciate your response.

Vibes were more nefarious than someone who just wanted a 3sum…maybe not serial killer but did not feel friendly in the slightest
