Needy, it's way too early in the game to become discouraged. I stopped in August and still had a bad time over Christmas. I keep waiting for the joy and peace of mind I know will come eventually, but it's not here yet. As I was told (in de-tox) withdrawing is the easy part, it's the maintenance that's the kicker. I do think it's asking alot of yourself to white knuckle it alone. SR got me through this, but I think I would have progressed faster if I'd had additional help & suggestions.
