Thanks for taking the time to share your experience here. You've clearly been able to find that balance, which ain't so easy for addicts.
Here I am on day one and feeling the strain. Yeah, it's been a needle and spoon lifestyle for sure and I've used every excuse in the book to keep it going as long as I can but enough is enough.
I'm fasting now. And I can tell you 4 gallons is only just enough. Though I still have a head-ache like I've not drunk enough water...
It doesn't feel like I'm beating myself up. Just reminding myself it can be done at will.
No problem, I'm sure you can listen to what your body needs..
I guess I just meant to say it's easy to beat ourselves up and that won't help.. If you're fed up and have the will to see this through you will get there. I know that time crawls feeling and the sleep isn't restful, tired and apathetic but listless and on a, rollercoaster of emotions and memories all too well..
Maybe some herbal stuff can help you out? Valerian root and chamomile etc.. All the best on your journey..
Finding my balance took me years and also took me thousands of miles away from where I took my first wrong turns so long ago..
Holla at me anytime, I'd love to see a solid support network here within this community that could be a safe, no judgements, harm reduction zone.
No shame in tapering the caffeine down in my humble opinion either.. Cold turkey anything can be more brutal than necessary but I also get that brutality is extremely good at driving home the point.

Thanks again for your support here.
I think I am enjoying the brutality. I actually made myself a coffee this morning because I am filming at the rehab clinic today and didn't sleep much last night, but couldn't drink it. The smell was so intense!
Day 5 and going strong.
Well done ! Have a good shoot.. I am most happy to be of any assistance whatsoever.. That day 28 will be here before you know it and you will be smooth sailing..
