Hi dede what can i say hun except stopping is always the easy bit its the staying off that is hardest, what do you have in place i.e counselling, etc? if you dont have maybe you could consider it go to a group of like minded people keep searching untill you find a way to lift that cloud. Maybe keep busy with life, sometimes we dwell on things and make thembigger problems then perhaps they are. best wishes hun jackie xxxxxxxx

I think I know that feeling dede: restless, angry, lonely and tired. You hear it a lot in meetings, especially during that first year. Are you going, or have you considered going, to 12-step meetings (AA/NA)? Those feelings can be tough, but you're not alone. What is your support system like right now?
Oh, and if I understood your post, good for you for not giving up....and for putting the pills down again after your slip. It can be especially hard when you have a bit of a set back. That shows real determination and character. Hang in, M. | ||

dede,
Maybe you should talk to a councellor, maybe get to the root of why you have this black cloud over you, could be the reason you are /were using drugs. Best Regards, Tom | ||

I second what everyone else is saying..... It is so hard to do this alone. Going to therapy or meetings or even posting on here helps because it gives you that support that you need to STAY clean, not just get clean.
I don't go to AA (have been a few times in the past), but I'm thinking of giving it another try. I DO go to therapy and sometimes I think "this isn't working", but most of the time it really helps..... None4me always says "you're only as sick as your secrets" and that's true. One of the best things for depression and lifting that black cloud is to have someone to talk to, for someone to listen..... You may also think about getting on an antidepressant for a few months, until you get things evened out again. I got put on Zoloft and Wellbutrin the week that I quit hydrocodone and it really worked in easing the depression that comes with withdrawals. I just got off the Zoloft (was on it for a month), but am going to stay on the Wellbutrin for a little while longer. I hope you're feeling a little bit better.... Danielle | ||
