Last Sunday was one of the worst days of my entire life. So immersed in pain, physically, mentally and emotionally. It was day one, all of us here know that misery of the first days too well.
Today, I finally feel like myself, not 100% but getting close. I’m aware that the war has not been won, just the battle, and will have to work on it every day.
So if anyone out there is on their day one today, please persevere! It can be done, it’s worth the pain. You can do it. 
Thank you all for your support, honestly this community helped me enormously.

I am with you on this one. Soon to be one week after a week of pure hell and torture. I too are starting to feel more like myself.
I have spent most of this week hungover sick and a lifeless mess. All my plans went right out the window. Enough is enough! Time to reclaim my life. One day at a time.
