unhooked
Freed from fastener
Unhooked means detached from a hook or fastener: She unhooked her bra.
It extends to disconnecting anything that latches or connects: unhooked the trailer from the truck.
Figuratively, unhooked can mean freed from dependency or attachment: finally unhooked from social media, getting unhooked from painkillers.
