Experience from people who have tried going without Drugs

I am sick of taking drugs and have recently opted to try and control my CD without drugs - diet, relaxing, etc - I was wondering how it worked out for others who have tried this? Eventually I will have to go back to drugs, but I would like to prolong that for as long as possible. Good or Bad, I am curious about the complications and what struggles it presented. So far I have felt better than I have ever felt.
