Wahoooowa!

I decided to pop back in here on day 8 of a cold Turkey withdrawal!  I feel good! I mean, it would be awesome if I could sleep more than 4 hours a night and not wake up in a dreaded pool of sweat. However, if those two are my chief complaints,  I may need to quit complaining. Ive been back to my regular fitness schedule for a few days too! That is paramount!  It has made things much better.....including my mood. Getting my mind right and controlling the anxiety and depression paved the way.
I have true intentions of not experiencing this a third time. I will just have to opt out with a truthful explanation in the future. I failed to realize how quickly you slide when you get near this slope.
Its amazing how quick this passed due to my preparedness. I went back and read posts from previous and believe that if I had just read those before attempting to use again, responsibly ...........
