Day 15!!!!!

Good morning everyone. Well I am 15 days clean, and I am proud of that, But to be honest I don't feel great. As you know recovery is an up and down battle. Today is one of those days; when I woke up I was feeling a little depressed. I am going to try to stay positive, stay busy, and maybe excercise a bit. I will try to post later.

Hey Travis,
I have to honestly say, it took a good month to feel back to "normal". Sleep and all. One day I just realized that I finally felt okay. It really happens I think when we can fianlly sleep. I had the restless leg thing forever with the sleep issue. Man, it sucked but it did fianlly go away. Just remember it's a very short time in your long life. I don't know how old you are but still, it's not that long of a time. Your so close. How many days did you have last time? I think you stopped posting at 15 or 16 days if I remember correctly, so I'm thinking you going to surpass you mark here. Hang in there buddy...your going to feel great real soon.

Hey Belinda, I appreciate your reply. Yeah I did relapse at 15 days, But this time I am going to be alot stronger. I was thinking about 30 days as well, because some days are real good. Today, I don't know what it is; I just feel, lost. I am 32 by the way. Whats one month for the rest of my life, right. See ya later.

Travis,

Just take it one day at a time. When I was really early in my clean time someone told me here that all we really have is today.

Its true.

It will get better, I promise.

You're doing great.

Travis
Congratulations.You will have some hard days but nothing like 15 days ago,
Travis...Hang in there man...IT WILL GET BETTER...I just
went through where your at..around day 15, alot of the head
trips are going on...depression, anxiety, no sleep, ect..ect..
In another week or two you WILL start to feel better, and you will
be sooo glad you fought through it..Take walks, exercise of any
kind is key at your point..

Hang Tuff,

Doug

I am trying to be as strong as you so please keep posting how you are doing. I am only at day 5 but to hear what you are going thru helps me to see whats ahead. This is my first time trying to quite and I hope it is my last.
You guys are right, This nothing compared to when I first started. I am going to push thru this. I really want to be clean. I was high for 5 years; surely I can tuff this out for a month or so.

April If you are at day 5 then the physical pain should be subsiding. You might feel tired for a few days, then all you will have to deal with is the sleep issue. Hang in there. Like someone told me;
whats a couple of weeks for the rest of your life.

Pinknot dude

I am on day 25. So you can certianly beleive me. I rememeber talking to a friend saying i dont feel better at day 15. But u do. You just dont realize it. I would say your at the breaker point. Day 19 and up were getting better and better

Keep going
Hi Pine I just wanted to say that to me it seems that recovery is ALOT of little steps to get to the goal.The depression Im sorry you are feeling it but I guess after abusing our bodies,minds,& soul its bound to take time to feel better,hopefully that wont beat you,.For me the depression almost did me in more than once....mj
keep going Travis, i got sober on Jan 6th, 2005 and never looked back
