The point of going without, sugar and caffiiene, over time, the body finds where it should be naturally...it finds its natural chemical balance.
I did not misss your point On recoveryroad and I am well aware of the abovementioned theory. However what I was implying is that I (and perhaps others) have achieved sobriety without taking the drastic steps you described. That is merely my "suggestion".
