Even though I was way out on the end of the curve as far as lingering withdrawal symptoms, I never for a moment regret toughing things out and following through with sobriety!
Exactly how is this different to my reply, where I said that it was mind over matter, or as you put it "toughing things out"?
Plus you say "most people get over withdrawals in a week or so" with no mention of PAWs. How empathetic is that post to Carlingford, considering you accused my post of being non- empathetic? Pot, kettle, black.
P. S. Just for future reference, sarcasm becomes nobody. This is a support forum.
