your going to have a hard time trying to sleep for awhile longer. not to mention all the other issues that are going to take place with your body and mind.

this is exactly why people relapse, hence why you need to be stronger than the thoughts in your mind and mind. always remember the insanity of the addiction and make sure you are commited to fight on at all cost. no compromises,no giving in, no failing.

you can get your old life back, but because of the overindulgence you are going to have to earn it.

one day at a time, one battle at a time........

i'm going through the same thing and it feels like i'm dying sometimes too.  We just need to remember that the addiction is talking, not you.  YOU want to get better and live a new life.  It's a short-term hell, but you get your life back.   That's what I've been telling myself all day.  Good luck to you, me, and all of us!

You gotta hang in there and know it will not last but a few days. Try taking a hot shower and put on something comfortable.

Remember to push fluids and keep food in even if it is only soup.

By the weekend the worst of the withdrawal will be gone and can start a new life.
