I am still on the first side of this, so hopefully I will get similar results as you.
Do you have any input on the ups and downs? How long did they last and when did they get better etc?
I did miss a few days due to camping, drinking, hangover, and one night I didn't set iTunes to repeat the "song" so it didn't play all night. And I figured Sunday is a good day to start a new round of subs.
And I certainly had some ups and downs...mostly downs. The first stage I felt good and happy, but that may have been placebo, I don't know. Then starting in the second stage things started getting pretty bad. I felt pretty darn bad and depressed and wanted to quit and do something else. This occurred through the third stage too. I honestly don't want to go back and read the earlier entries of my journal because I'm so embarrassed by the things I said I can't even believe that was me who said them. But I think in stage 4 things started getting better and by stage 5 I was feeling pretty good. But it wasn't until this tail end of stage 6 where I'm really feeling like I'm a whole new person. Maybe I'm a late bloomer and things just take a while to get going/rolling/growing on/with me. But yeah, I can honestly say that there were some really hard months in there. If it happens to you just make sure you don't give up. Put you're head down and just plow through it.
I can't remember what movie I heard this in, or if I'm even interpreting it correctly but it was something along the lines of "a stallion must first be broken before it can reach it's true potential." (I'm assuming that's a racing horse) I take that as you have to be worn out and broken down and hanging on by your last thread before you can rise up to be the best.
