am doubting myself

You guys I am not doing so well this afternoon its day eight. I am a emotional wreck. I already suffer with anxiety. And its even worse now. I am so nervous for no reason. I told my husband the physical hurt finally starts then BAM u get smacked in the face with the emotional. I really do feel like giving up I don't want too but I can't take feeling this way. Ughhhhhhhhhhh

GOOD MORNING. good for you. i didnt give in. remember using isnt even an option. you are done with that. that part of your life is over. your desire to be clean has to be stronger than your desire to use.  keep on talking to your mom and husband. get as much support from them as you can and be very honest with your feelings. think positive. tell yourself that you will make you are doing it.be proud of yourself. we are all proud of you. you have to beat those demons down. you are in control of you. have you started any therapy yet? make sure you get outside, exercise, eat healthy,make sure you move around, clean the house, go shopping. have a wonderful,clean and sober,happy,healthy day.you deserve it.
GOD loves you.
sending hugs and blessings

Ty all I didn't give in as bad as I wanted too. I am still feeling very nervous kinda shaky and hands feel tingly maybe tingling hands is anxiety. I talked to my mom its kinda funny she said like you did mrnewhope you will be alright. Its like yeah I guess. Told mom the mental battle really ***** I rather it be two thirds physical and one third mental instead of the other way around. But ya know for my sake and my families I will not give in it can kill me first before I cave. I will not go back to being a addict.

Hang in there I know how you feel . Day 8 and 9 were AWFUL for me(worse than physical W/D). It gets better fast. Go excercise and sweat!! Trust me it works. I am no healthnut and overweight but it got me through those two days and since (day 19) things are better. You can do it!!!

Relax and get a bit of exercise in you as impossible as it sounds.  If you think I'm crazy, and wanna smack me, try to catch me as I run out the door :)

Music is always good, you gotta do something, chocolate maybe? Get your mind off the negative and get some positives in as difficult as it may sound.  You'll be alright.

Battle it, fight it, because it will go away!    You are so close to seeing the light!  Hang in there, the cravings and emotional let downs will start to shorten and decrease in severity.   There is no turning back now you have gone too far to throw it away!
