Hi ZaphodBeeblebrox (gees, Honey Badger is a lot easier to type...): I just wanted to let you know you are doing fantastic and I am seriously impressed with your commitment to get clean. I know exactly what you are experiencing--you should check out my thread at Poppy seed Tea withdrawal Is Hell. I went CT from a 4 year 3-4 lb/day seed tea habit and I honestly thought I was going to die at one point. It was without a doubt the worse thing I have ever experienced. I managed to stay completely clean for 5 months and then like a dumbass I used the old "I've been good--one cup won't hurt" argument and I was back to 2.5 lbs/day in no time. Currently working on a taper plan this time to try and minimize the WD symptoms when I kick this time.
Anyway, for me the PAWs started to diminish at around the 3 month mark last time. Can't say that I just woke up one day and it was all better, but things started improving much faster at that point and the good days started to far out-number the shitty ones. Obviously, everyone's body chemistry is different. Just know that it will get better, that I promise.
You are kicking ass. So proud of you--and this comes from someone who knows the agony and misery you have endured to get to this point. Just keep focusing and you will be fine.
