What to do about Energy

I have been swaying on the fence with trying to stay sober. I have finally been clean for a couple of weeks. My question is, what do I do for energy? or what can I do to make things better. I find myself Nodding off at work, and that can't happen. I am miserable today, i don't know what to do. Someone please help, I'm on my fourth cup of coffee.............

GWH-your doing great-much better then i could,theres a song-did you every know your my hero? flakey I know but true.Anyway I ve got a great secret for motavation=find a ignorant self justifing  judgmental person-tell them your trouble=then sit back ,think about  what they have to offer and  you will find the energy to move ahead,just so not to be like them, proving that god gives us what we need-you'll be so outraged and stuck with wonder that anyone could be so...whats the word im looking for..?that time will pass unnoticed and it will be that much more time without thinking about a pill or putting on in your mouth.lol    YOU ARE DOING GREAT but you need to remember the differance between a addict and a person in pain.. a addict takes the meds for the buzz,with out any thought of the effects on your life.A responable person in pain takes what they need to get by and doent abuse what he has.   :)

Yawning...maybe it could be because of the lack of energy, and lack of oxygen would cause lack of energy...you said you were depressed, have you sought treatment for that?  If you have, maybe they put  you on an antidepressant?  I know that alot of those have yawn as a possible side effect.  Both Paxil and Celexa made me yawn like crazy!  So maybe it is that?  I don't know...

it's kip here reporting from the hinterlands of pain and total nar-
cotic nesd... not really so bad as all that...my neck pain has surpassed my toe pain (which is still bad), so things must be re-
turning to what they were before. went with ir up to her momma's
house (90 miles north) and slept  the whole way up, while there,
and most of the way back. now i just want to shower, change band-
age and watch far-scape. anyone care to place a bet i stay awake for far-scape?

gwh:
how's the knee? i've had a lot of knee trouble earlyer in my adult
life. believe me, it's a piece of cake compared to spine trouble!
but that usually doesn't happen till later on in life, so enjoy be-
ing able to do most of the things you want to do while you still
can!! get back up and at it as soon as your croaker (doc) will let
you. i don't want to hear any reports of malingering so you can get
more poision, OK.

keep an angel on your shoulder

As shakespear said. THE GUILTY MAN RUN'S WHERE NOBODY CHASE'S HIM
.
so take it easy ,what to be will be. Just stop doc hopping from now on. Im sure other's on this site have more experence on this subject. I have read some post on it.
Try not to get allguilt ridden about it raght now, and keepyour eye'e on staying clean. Guilt,like dishonesty is the gasoline
that fuels addiction.
As we stay clean thing's mostly get better and better. So if that stuff in the past rears it's ugly head deal with it then .
feel guilty and bad then and then only.
Right now focous on the positive.
IM sure someone on this site will share thier insight on the doc hopping and it's ramafication's.
