4 days and counting

I am 4 days without using meth. And I feel absolutely awful.

I am beyond exhausted. I have snapped at my best friend for wanting to help me.

I was using very heavily for the past 6 months. I don’t even remember why I started. But almost all of that time is lost. I don’t remember most of it. And every day feels like a blur anymore.

2 months ago I took WAY too much and wanted to stop after that but couldn’t manage to do it.

Now I am determined to kick this shit but I don’t know where else to go for support as I’ve pushed everyone away. So I guess if any of you have any suggestions or support I’d greatly appreciate it :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Welcome Betty! Glad ur here. Congratulations on day 4!!! Thats not easy to do but ur doing it!

I was a meth user myself and there was a brutal withdrawl period. It is very very normal to be irritated and exhausted when getting clean. Ur body is going thru ALOT trying to adapt to having no substances in it. Try to rest as much as u can. Eat and hydrate ad best u can. And take lots of deep breaths and do lots of self care. It took me awhile to start feeling “normal” again.

Continue to check in daily and read up on the threads. Try to stay recovery focused on a daily basis. U no longer have to live in active addiction :slight_smile: We are here for u!

You have to get thru the first couple days and it will get better. Remember you wont feel this bad forever. You can do this. Lean on us and others for support. You are not alone.

Welcome to TS @Moth

Have you considered NA meetings? There are virtual and in-person meetings all over the place.

Would you like me to post the links so you can find some?

I appreciate the suggestion, I’ve found most of them are religiously based, and that is not something I am interested in.

I spent the past couple days sleeping and binge eating.. :sweat_smile: I know it’s not great to replace one habit with another but I think my body just needed it because I haven’t craved food like that today.
