I was coming across this thread again and decided to bump it - it's incredibly helpful. The first and most important step in WD is to get rid of the guilt we experience then, that it's "real us". Well, when you're in a severe WD, especially a cold turkey one, all you can sometimes do is to survive minute after minute unitl the improvement comes on its own. There's no rushing things whatsoever. Then, at some point, you're eventually able to direct your thoughts better.
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
