For those 5 weeks I felt that I wasn't doing that great and was lonely and angry all the time. It is good to know that at 6 months it gets better than it does at 3 months.
Good luck! You can do it. The first week was really, really rough, but it got better and better after that. It's really nice to not have to worry about which one of us is going to buy the beer on the way home, or worry that whoever buys it will buy enough to last us through the night, etc, etc. It took awhile for the old habits to die, but I rarely even think about it any more.
