My first week was horrendous. Someone told me to watch out for HALT (Hunger/Anger/Lonliness/Tiredness). They said to address these areas as they could contribute to triggers and general horrible feelings. So I made sure I ate properly, I tried to do meditation but failed as my mind just went nuts, I did though go to AA, and go out for coffee with people from there afterwards and called them too. Still do that. I went to bed early and took melatonin to help me sleep initially. I went swimming or for a long walk when I got agitated, and I carried a bar of chocolate with me everywhere. I’m on 18 days now, and I’m already noticing a huge difference in how I feel. It does get easier, but it takes time and you have to want it. I also downloaded an app called Pink Cloud, which keeps track of my days and I have a list of tasks I tick off each day. It’s also great for finding meetings. You have to take it one day at a time, and not give in. You will feel terrible at times for sure, and low, but for me it got easier, and still is getting easier. Hang in there. Remember what it makes you do, and how it makes you feel afterwards. It’s a poison! It will only cause you problems in your life.
