I feel like a walking zombie, this absolutly sucks. My husband left today for a week and i am panicing. It has been 16 days today and I keep telling myself it will get better.... but will it? I am so confused, I thought I would be so proud of myself and happy that I wasn't craving something every 4 hours and chained to the clock. I am NOT going to take a pill... but when will my personality come back. I used to be funny. I know everyone is different but please someone tell me it only gets better. One day soon I will feel a spark again... right? Ali.... and sp.... where are you? I need a pep talk. L
Hi,
We haven't spoken before before but I've been following your story. My withdrawls were hard to but they do tend to get harder the more you have to do it. Hang in there, go lie in a hot bath and try to relax.
Understanding,
Wendy

You didn't get addicted over night, you're not gonna get clean and happy over night either. It takes time. There is so much you can do though mentally in the meantime in order to feel better emotionally. It's all about getting help and being ok with who you are. I know it all really sucks right now and what you're going through is really normal. Just hang in there, ok?
Do you have enough energy to do some projects to get your mind busy?

That is part of the problem I just dont feel good enough to even distract my self. I am very hormonal right now on top of everything else and having really bad cramps. I really hope that is part of the problem or I am in trouble. I hope that when this finally lets go of my body... I won't have to go back to this crazy feeling as long as I stay off. I realize I will probably have cravings but I have heard so many people say that it only gets better and I am so hoping that is true.
I so get where you're coming from. The docs took my hormones away from me in October because of a heart attack...first time in 6 years that I haven't taken them. It's HORRIBLE. It's not bad enough that you don't feel good but now you have to deal with that. I am so sorry. Just know that it does get better. Takes time and work, but you're so worth it.
I had been feeling dreadful with hot flushes, teariness and anxiety for about a month. When I missed my last period the doctor did a blood test and the problem was MENOPAUSE.
I started HRT and within a fortnight am feeling human again. All the better as now I am now in the withdrawls from booze. Not nearly as bad as pills but by God will I ever get it all together LOL

Hey it does get better...I know you don't want to hear this but it just takes time. Time to heal and you are on the right path.
Wendy...sheeesh that sucks...I have been kind of wondering about that myself lately!

thanks everyone. Today is a little different, can't tell yet good or bad. I still feel nauseated when I wake up, did anyone else experience that?
I felt sick to my stomach for a few days. Lost alot of wieght...don't let yourself get dehydrated, that will help with the upset tummy. Eat light. I hope you're feeling better tonight.
