The withdrawal certainly isn’t getting any better, but I think I’m really gonna be able to do it this time. I’ve been up since about 4 or 5, I just couldn’t sleep very long at all. And I’m still pretty fuckin sick otherwise from withdrawal. But I went to 2 groups yesterday, and am about to attend another one this morning. My goal is to go to at least one everyday this week. I’m so tired of being stuck in a cycle of withdrawal, where one hard night of binging puts me back to being physically dependent almost immediately because of my past Phenibut addiction. I know I’ve posted here a million times about relapsing, but I really think this is gonna be the time that sticks and that excitement is keeping me going.

    Now is about the time where it actually starts to get better. Day 4 and day 5 will still be rough and you might not notice it because your body will be in a state of exhaustion but the actual withdrawals will start to subside. You can do it, comrade. I’m rooting for you.

      I’m lucky that I saved the last of my Librium for last time for days 4 and 5, so I’m hoping it the withdrawal is still light enough to be poked through with the small amount of Librium I have.

        Good plan. It should give you the boost you need at that moment. Also, your physical appetite will start to get better but emotionally you might not feel like eating, if that makes sense. “Eating restores appetite” as the old saying goes so try like a slice of toast even if you don’t feel like eating but it’s been a while since you had a meal.
