It may have, or you just might be lucky. Either way, don't pull a Minn and analyze it to death ;) Just stay remember where you were and how far you have come. If you have to wd again, you may not be as fortunate. You have done great!

Well, we are all different and there are some people who don't experience bad withdrawal. You may be one of those lucky ones who got a "get out of jail free card." ;) So you are down to just one half? That is great! You may feel a little worse when you jump completely but it sounds like you are doing a lot better than most of us.

Keep up the excellent work! You've got this!
