Me too. I got through the initial withdrawals without a whole lot of problems. I had pretty bad headaches and felt generally unwell, but I expected much worse, so maybe that was it. The after stuff is what really got me, and that is how I found SR.
Knowing that there were people like me that had experienced what I was experiencing made a bid difference and helped me stay sober.
