I would really recommend NOT reversing the phone number etc changes. You are also not alone with social media being a trigger, I've heard this from quite a few others. For me it wasn't Facebook but a "secret" email address that I used with a person with whom I was very deeply and intimately bound with in addiction. I could never quit booze and my crazy lifestyle as long as I kept in touch with that person, and I did try for years. Long story, but finally I had to completely cut connection with him, changed my email address, erased from my computer any trace leading to our private connection, etc. I thought I would go insane for months but kept to it. Unfortunately only took care of the alcohol problem a couple years later - it would have been better to be done with the whole complex earlier.

It's also great that you sought help and made an appointment. If you find it helpful, I would suggest that you keep going for a while.

There are a few people here on SR who are trying to quit weed - look around.

Good luck
