I had a similar experience when I quit coffee for 30 days. Yes, I proved that I could control my life - that tiny, unimportant aspect, anyway. But, was it worth all the time spent on surpressing the cravings? Write it off as self-discovery. Even more revealing was then I resolved to make a - as much as possible - major lifestyle change - "offline til lunchtime". The temptation to check for messages, notices, and calls can be terribly distracting, especially in the first days. But there is no doubt that I get more done of the things I have selected rather than putting out fires - somebody else's emergency - or being dragged into another hour of watching cat videos.
