please read this over and over...I train very hard in gym, im a competetive bodybuilder and have been for 15 years or more. I trained hard as i ever did since day one of going cold turkey. My days were hell on earth for a few weeks and i had to literally scream myself into getting out of car and into gym and everytime i did i felt 100% normal and no w/d for 1-3 hours everyday. I trained or walked everyday for the first 7 days along with good diet, no caffenine or stimulants and lots of vitamins that i take anyway. It was the one thing and only thing that truly made the difference for me. I hope you consider it, it will make the difference

yeah he needs to go. you say exercise is a quich fix yo umean that it will heal me faster. is it true that exercising puts those endorphins back in your brain that you loose when you do drugs. cuz i know i get tired and weak when i stop using but iwas told exrecising after have been doing it for a lil like a coupel weeks you will start to see results

I am praying for u as well girl,,,not everybody gets this right the first, second or third go around...but u keep trying and there is alot to be said for that girl!   the sub may be making it easier for u to use as u know with it u can make it thru the physical wds without much sweat...the mental part is what tried to get me..the fatigue and depression..the aftermath..i know how u feel and i dont like that doomy feeling...and it took months for it to pass and it still comes and goes for me at 5 months...i am sure i had some issues like this and could be the reason i abused in the first place...but i do think it is worse right after quitting,...they say 90 days to get ur brain back in shape and to catch up on producing the endorphins we need..exercise is a quick fix...that is also why they say in AA 90 meetings in 90 days....see if u can make it 90 days and use the amino acids to help ur brain heal and exercise too...also...i think u have a trigger in the form of a "male"  LOL(:  COL ):  it is a stat that men most often make women relapse and vice versa ...gotta make those changes in ur life girl...love ya

unfortunately theres no way around it sweetie. I fought a war for about 30 days and then after that the sun shined again. Only thing i can try to give you is hope that it does get better and it does come quick even though it seems like forever. I lost count of days after the first month and dont even care for them at this point and im around em constantly.

i go to counceling. i go to relapse prevention once a week too. i relaly am having a hard tiem getting through becuz of the withdrawels. even after the real withdrawels i hate the feeling htat i feel for about amonth after.

[puranx]

in this case i agree with goingtomakeit...you have something making you run back even with sub or methadone. Some of us can walk away and get back to life. Someone like me used for pain and then just for fun not to cover up issues or depression so it hasnt been hard for me to walk away from them. You really need to find out whats causing this.

Aftercare, aftercare, aftercare. We can not do this alone. Counseling is so important to get at the root issues of why you use.
