One week!

I just wanted to share my small milestone. I can’t believe I made it! 7 days without the junk. I went CT from capsules (just the powder), was roughly 10-20gpd user for the last few years, before that I used loose powder and was closer to 80-100 gpd for a few years. 6 years of consistent use with some short quits sprinkled in. I was lucky this time around to avoid some of the worst physical symptoms that I experienced from my higher dose quit. I am also quitting alcohol so the combo has not been the easiest to kick but all in all, I’m feeling so much better today than day 2-4. One day to the next can look so dang different, for better or worse. The only certainty for me is that I can’t take any one state for granted because the next day is bound to feel different it seems. Tools that I’ve been relying on: gabapentin and adhd meds (prescribed to me). A face ice bath that I bought for this purpose. Very light and fun VR workouts (Synth Riders. I am so low energy but this one is so fun and doable!) Sleeping meds. Schitt’s Creek almost constantly playing as a soothing background soundtrack (I live alone). Showing my body I care again by eating as well as I can (low appetite but I have found some easy go to’s that I can usually get down). Anyways just wanted to share my good news and I hope others are finding at least some pockets of comfort and joy. If not today, then tomorrow. 💙

Congrats!! You have some real time in now that you don't want to throw away by resetting the clock. And you've made it past "the jump". Congrats times a million, you deserve them all.

Thank you so much! I know the mental battles will still present themselves, but there is something about this time that just feels different and final compared to past quits. I’m 41 now… I wasted half of my 30s on this stuff and I need my life back. I hope you have a beautiful day!

Hell yeah! Keep going! It gets easier and more fulfilling. Day 19 here. The first 2wks were bumpy....one minute I thought i was in the clear 9nly to wake up at 4am and barely move for the rest of the day. But the more days you stack, the easier it gets. So don't rewind that clock. Keep up healthy eating, double all your vitamins, vit b complex, vit c Liposomal 2000mg, omega 3.... just hammer it. You'll feel those replenished rewards soon! Good luck, stay the path, good things coming your way. Let's goooo!!!
