Hey Irwin,
one thing I’ve learned sticking around here, never give up on yourself! I have seen some great changes being made. Some of us take several attempts at lining things up for takeoff. But boy is it beautiful to see someone who struggled soar. And it happens!
Be kind to yourself Irwin, you are making some major changes and you had gambled for a long period of time. You are probably going through withdrawal symptoms. Do whatever you can to make yourself more comfortable. Little treats or things to lift your spirits.
You only have to make it through today Irwin, tomorow isn’t here yet and you made it through yesterday already. You can do it!
I hope you have a good day Irwin.
Laura
