This!
Don't let your AV fool you. I caved in at the two month mark on three different occasions. Two months is a long time! It might be a few more before you feel better but those first two are the hardest!
Don't make my mistakes! The fourth time I made it two months was 13 months ago and I'm still going strong.
It does get easier and it's worth it but it takes time.
