I'm having such a hard time. I just cat stand being sober. Using just makes the everyday life so easier. I usually play my Xbox black ops 2 online or something when istartfeeling bad and now it's starting to overheat and get a red ring. I know this Sounds pathetic but it's like my peaceful solution to everything and gets my mind off things. Idk what ill do if it goes....

P.S watch or read about the disease of addiction it will settle you down a bit about what the brain does and that it takes months and months and months to get it to balance out and fire up. They have alot of great info that I did not get in my day and age and it has helped me threw my recovey besides my God snd Support.
Good Luck Hang in There.

I got into this post and had a smile regaurding the BREATH thing from bama because for over 30 days in my recovery that is what EVERYONE told me and I even got a stone saying that. But everyone advise above is true. IT DOES GET BETTER Keep on truckin forward do not look back. Yes after care is a blessing because you get involved in a whole new life and get to share stories and do service that can say another addict or more.
God Bless us All

You sound better today......No Life has given you some good counsel.  I was thinking about you yesterday and all you had shared about the high levels of mj your were smoking and illys, alcohol, etc. and thought coming off ALL that at once could be a MAJOR factor for you and how you are feeling.  You are doing good for less than 2 weeks into this.......give yourself a break....some time......and SEEK out some pleasant things you can do to take your mind off each symptom.  Find some things to watch or read or do that make you LAUGH....some music that touches your soul.....some people to be around that aren't using.....ALL that will bless you!  Keep on truckin....it ABSOLUTELY will get better....promise!
