I went for acupuncture the first time this morning, for addiction (alcohol) treatment, as it's supposed to curb cravings as well as just generally relax you. I don't know.

It was 5 needles in each ear - one ear, I couldn't feel them at all, and in the other ear, they didn't hurt exactly more like I could feel pressure around each one. It definitely didn't relax me. But I did start feeling really sad, and couldn't stop crying all afternoon so who knows.

I'm definitely going to try it for a few weeks as I know lots of people from my rehab who found it really helpful.

I'm super lucky - I'm in a pilot project that's funded by public healthcare.
