Hey Upquark, I'm glad your pain is easing up, and well done on such strong resolve.
If you want a bit of inspiration for coping with cold turkey check out BadHabit:

Look at his forum posts and blog - he didn't post for long, but his absolute exuberance at how he felt once he cleaned up really keeps me going
Btw, we still email each other - he's doing great, and completely loved up.
Good luck dude, and keep posting xxx
