That stinks but from what I read totally common and it does get better provided you do not drink but what else is heard unformally around this joint is that if you start and stop again these things will often be worse the next time.

I was blessed in that I have never had any physcial signs of addiction or w/d at all. On the other hand, it makes it easier for my AV to say, see you dont have a problem, but then I remind myself of the total mess I made and I come back to reality.

So, net net, it stinks, but it will get better, as long as you don't drink. On the other hand, alcohol often masks other underlying mental health issues and if so, get treament. Many here are taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medicines and that is OK if your doctor says you need it. My life was saved by taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medicines after the birth of my second child. I don't taken them anymore, but I do not know if I would have survived without them.

Hang in, and please dont drink.
