Day 18 report

[Jimmy1975]

Hello everyone, Well I have pretty bad anxiety today . Almost all day . This is my second time quitting from a three 10/500 a day habit . If I remember just right last time it took almost a month before the anxiety was pretty much a non factor  . What really kills me is the depersonalization feeling . MAN is that a KILLER for me ! I really believe I will not be going back to Mr. Hydro again . Off and on for almost four years is enough ! I am going to stay in aftercare for awhile this time here and where I live if I feel I need it . You know people you really don't realize what you have as far as your health is concerned until you lose it ! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as always ,   Jimmy

I JUST HIT 30 DAYS  I TOOK MYSELF OFF OF THE ANTI  ANXIETY AND DERPECTION DRUGS AFTER A FEW DAYS. EXERCISE, A GOOD AFTERCARE PROGRAM AND NA MEETINGS KEEP ME CLEAN, BUT THE THING THAT WORKS THE BEST ISS WANTING TO DO IT FOR MYSELF BECAUSE OTHERS SAID I COULDNT . MEDITATE 20 MIN A NIGHT AND LET OUT ALL YOUR NEGATIVITY. YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER AND FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU GET UP
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU,

It all depends on the person. No two people are the same when it comes to how long it takes for them to get through the pain, WD, anxiety or sleep loss.

hey i am only at day 14 so you are ahead of me, however i think my anxiety problems started getting bettter a couple of days ago when i started sleeping more than an hour or two a night. Have you started sleeping somewhat normal yet. I think lack of sleep has alot to do with all the lingering effects of w/ds..depression, anxiety, lack of energy to me it all goes back to lack of sleep, just my thought
