how log will headaches last? I've lost my oral stim & my means of escaping the crazy for a little bit (smoke time) . Life is blah until I can figure out some substitutes. Sugar free mints wreck my stomach. I think I have a hole in my tooth - sucking on my mouth is PAINFUL & not a good substitute but all I have. Mum's birthday today & I couldn't stay long - there were no time out escapes available. My head hurts.

Sorry for the late reply @eeycee ! It sounds like this was really hard day. The headaches can be draining especially when you’re already adjusting to so much chang. What I'll say is be kind to yourself - you’re doing something really tough and days like this don’t undo the progress you’ve made. Keep trying. 💪
