That's such a great start you wouldn't believe it.
Want to hear something pathetic? I once tried to quit cold-turkey and I lasted a grand total of
FOUR HOURS. I mean, I still was a little high off my so-called "last shot" when I went out to buy more. I made some excuse in my mind that I needed to go out shopping for supplies but I was too weak to manage that, without "one last shot to ease the pain."
When finally I really did quit, I was blubbering like a baby after 8 hours. After 16 hours I was out of my mind. And at the 24 hour mark (still no sleep of course) I was begging my girlfriend for "just one more pill". She had them so well hidden, a DEA swat team wouldn't find them.
I'm not saying all this stuff to scare you, or to boast about how big my habit was. The point here is that when I hear you saying "I'm OK after 24 hours" I see somebody with 100 times more willpower than I ever had. And I got through it.
