going on day 4 and feeling very sad

great.......... i have the worst headache ever. my eyes hurt... but i am still sober. i cant believe i have made it to day 4. i know its so early on in the day but i am so happy to say that it is august 6th. my end date was august 3rd./// that day will forever be burned into my brain. i have felt okay until now. i had a huge breakthrough today. i told my best friends, and then my mom and brother about my using. they were all so loving and caring. i guess its real now. it hurts but i had to do it. it ***** so bad, but i feel like now i can be held responsible for my actions ( i was a closet user). until today. i dont know what tomorrow will bring but i am not goin to use. i cant do it anymore. this is so hard mentally, but i am doing the right thing. i have never felt so much love from my mom and brother, and also my girlfriends. they knew i was depressed but didnt know i was suffering from an addiction. god, my head hurts. i dont know if its from crying all evening or the WDs..... lord help me but i can say that i am basically on day four. wow.. i cant believe it. im so oproud of myself. but then i feel so much shame. so much shame. ugh. love you all.

Headaches are the worst. I always get them the morning after I've had a big cry. I hope your head begins to feel better. :)

In the meantime, I think it's wonderful that you're on Day 4! It's not easy and you're doing great. Keep going!

So proud of you for getting this far and facing your problem.    Telling your family and friends was a big step, and I am glad they are supportive of you.   I hope your headache has eased up some by now.   Hope the rest of the day is better for you.
