9 days into an alcohol/ nicotine/ caffeine/ sugar cold turkey detox. Lots of intense symptoms and depression but I feel like the worst is behind me. I also just got kicked out of where I was living. Its been rough. Researching the science of addiction and dopamine triggers has helped me understand what I am going through, and that I need to let my brain heal. I am feeling a little better every day. All of my friends are either drinkers, smokers, drug users, or all of the above. This choice I have made to live clean may not last if I go back to them. My biggest hope is to find sober friends and a sense of community. Was thinking of going to an AA meeting, but not sure.
