Congradulations and the energy will come!!
Hey...the energy does get better...are you taking anything ie. supplements/energy drinks? It took a good two to three weeks before I really felt like myself again and that is when I started getting nervous about relapsing too! It is very easy for that to happen. Some statistics show that only 2 in 10 addicts stay clean without relapsing. (Beach is that correct?) That is not too encouraging but why can't we be those two? And, God forbid that we do relapse, we gotta get right back up and start again. I guess we need a plan on how we can stay clean. CATUF has recommended books for addcits....there is NA/AA....therapists. Whatever we do, we have to be vigilant about our recovery! Be proud of your strength and tenacity...you got through 17 days..and that is quite an accomplishment!
Peace,
Marcie
17 days is awesome! I had zero energy at 17 days, but tons at 30. Stay the course, weaklink!
Marcie's right though. It seems like so much energy is focused on getting through acute w/d that we don't focus on the real barrier to recovery - relapse! One thing that helps to keep me from relapse is this forum. I also have little things that I read regularly to remind me of where I've been, where I'm at, and where I'm going.
thanks guys, all the encouragement helps!!!
I am over 3 weeks almost a month CT. I feel great I have gotten back to the gym and I'm running again. The energy will come with time. It's different for everyone but it will happen.
WD's were so bad and I mentally felt as bad as physically. I am going to be one of the two that makes it. I never want to go back and thank God I don't have any cravings. Never had after the first few days. I feel truly blessed.
