That's good your wife helped you through the most heavy moments. It's nice to have someone near by when it gets too strong.
I feel ya on doing a big dose. Now you know your limit which is a good thing. Maybe just do 4.5 grams next time.. which is still more than the usual 3.5g dose.
I dont think I found my limit. I am sure I will go even deeper than this in the future. I am going to be varying the doses that I do throughout the year and get used to the effects of those doses. It is going to be an interesting experience.
