Hi @NolaJS
Don't think of it as ending medication. That almost sounds like you haven't stayed the course, fallen by the wayside! You haven't, you've seen an arduous and difficult trek through to a successful end.

That again implies drifting, no clear objectives. I am sure you have had strong and lasting reasons for wanting to be well, reclaim your life. We can miss even irksome habits, that's natural. We can also fall out of the habit of feeling positive and hopeful. So time to get that habit back. You've worked so hard. Time to practice feeling good! Best wishes.
