"Just shy of ten month into withdrawal.
For the past week or so I've been feeling tremendous!. Not one for gloating but it's been about six month since I've felt this great and wanted to gloat a wee bit so please forgive me
Ok, ok my skin is still nowhere near healed. Still going through all the symptoms like flaring, dryness, flaking, redness, etc. However, internally I'm feeling normal again. Perhaps my adrenals have levelled out?. Cause let me tell you it wasn't fun living life like a 90 year old man. I had no energy, suffered terrible insomnia (getting up to six hours sleep a night now), mood was at an all time low as I'm sure most of you can relate too.
Without a word of a lie TSW has been the toughest challenge that I've faced in all my 31 years on this planet.
Who knows what's in store for me further down the line. It really is a cliche but what I have learned is that with withdrawal you really do have to take it one day at a time.
Special shout out to everyone in the group. Without you and your updates, strength and encouragement I would be a lost soul struggling alone with this hell.
So a BIG thank you to everyone who has been there for me. You all have a special place in my heart".
Hugs of the healing variety,
Gary
