Thanks, you guise. 14 months in a couple days. I wasn't looking for cudos, though. I'm mostly just really surprised how long it took for me to feel normal, anxiety-wise. It was at just about a year that I really felt able to make it consistently through my days without that fear-knot in my belly.
Breathing exercises, meditation, exercise, regular nutrition, water and sleeping eight hours daily are my major tools - but I think so much of it is physical healing and if I hadn't remained abstinent for that long I never would have reaped those benefits.
So those of you who are new, stick with it - it keeps getting better. On those days when it seems like the mood won't lift, hang in there. It will.
