[MJV]

Hi Everyone!  I am 10 days claen today and I am still feeling pretty crappy.  I have a cold on top of everything and am REALLY wanting to use to ease the pain.  Any advice for me after 10 days.  I feel so stupid.  I haven't even been clean 2 weeks...I feel helpless.

Exactly as Cathy says.
Don't mess up now. I remember feeling like sh**  for at least two weeks and then the mental stuff and depression lasted a lot longer. We all want a quick fix but there isn't one. You may not have a cold although everyone has one right now. It could be WD stuff. Try to keep as busy as possible and get some exercise. It gets the brain working normal faster.

mjv, thats so normal for the process.  our addiction wants us to use so it tries to convince us.  DONT DO IT.  this will pass and you will progressively get better.  it dont happen in a day or a week or sometimes a month.  youabused your body with the pills now it has to refurbish itself.  it takes time hang in there...10 doys is great dont mess up now.
