Good days and bad days....cycles for me...part of life tho...even if I was never addicted...we will get back to normal with time but have to remember that there will be bad days in life here and there...I just have to live thru them and not erase them with pills...perhaps I was a little spoiled and had a quick way to make bad days disappear...I will have to join the ranks of the living and deal with bad days in a healthy way...we will all get there...takes some time to adjust
hang in there, Scott. I've been through lots of ups and downs too. I think it's part of the process. Try to focus on the times you feel good during the tough times. Think back and remember how good everything felt (mind, body and spirit). Maybe try journaling on the good days so when you're having a tough day, you can go back and remember that things do get better.
I agree with cathy, even non-addicts have bad days...I know for me when i would get that way, i usually would get aggrivated with the kids for the smallest things, and if i fussed i felt terrible....So i would just go in my room and watch tv, and try to relax...Or take a very long hot bath!!
good luck

hey, i know how you feel. but, just remember all ppl have bad days, addicts and non-addicts. it is just apart of life. so dont get too down...you are normal. lol i hope you have a much better day tomorrow :)
take some loooong slow deep breaths, some calcium and magnesium, and a cup of chamomile tea. think calm thoughts put on some classical music etc. etc. etc........
I know the feeling; right when you think it's over, they come back...i'm in your boat!
Hang in there, ride it out and you should be fine; thats what i keep telling myself.
