Day 9....what happened?

Question

I slept relatively well last night (about 8 hours) and this morning woke up feeling worse than I did a week ago.  My stomach is a mess and I have absolutely no energy.  I actually took today off.  I probably could have slept all day, but made myself get up at noon because of fear of not sleeping tonight.  Did anyone else have a step back like this?

Yup, I had a few setbacks too....your body needs time to heal....it has only been 8 days...while I did start to feel better by day 7...it took me at least two weeks to really feel somewhat like my old self again...give yourself a break and don't worry...you are heading in the right direction....tomorrow is another day and will be better! Try to stay positive about this because the alternative to going back to drugs is by far the  worst choice!

Keep faith in yourself.

I have had several days like that, im on day23 today, i promise you that if you stay strong in your resolve your energy will return and you will regain your freedom. I feel that im still not up to full strenght but everyday i stay clean my life becomes easier manage. I went for a long time out of control and to now be in control of my life is a great feat, something i thought would never be possible. It is true and im looking forward to making 1 month, so can you.Hope and prayers Clay TX           A friend once told me "baby steps"

I guess I am feeling just a little discouraged.  Even though my slepp wasn't great, my energy was high and my mind felt clear.  I don't like feeling so......blah.
