6 days and depression

Almost a week free from thc and I'm starting to feel a little better about life. I'm starting to realize that maybe this depressive cloud that has felt to be looming overhead for over a decade is clearing up little by little. The "voice" that has kept nagging at me to consider harm to myself has started to become silent. I also gave up alcohol but am only 4 days in with that. The only negative I can say is it's harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Aside from that life is becoming a little more bright. Anyone else experienced or are going through the same motions?
