I feel for you; it sounds like a tough situation.  I think you are amazing making it to 30 days with that kind of activity going on around you.  Your sobriety is the most important thing and you need to do what ever you can to ensure it continues on.  Every single day is a victory and will make you stronger and stronger.  It is not going to be easy, but then again the way I look at it is that anything worth having usually is not (easy to get).  Keep pushing through this - YOU are worth it.

Congrats on 30 days!  I know it doesnt seem like it, but you really are better than you were 30 days ago.  I get the no energy and PAWS and that it seems like it will never get better.   I figure it has to or nobody would be doing this.  Ending the addiction cycle, insanity and chaos is better than any day with low energy.   Your boyfriends dad is getting through the initial acute physical detox but can't stay away.  Perhaps that is the angle you need to share with your boyfriend?

He's tried numerous times to quit smoking weed but failed after like 2 wks..he knos all about pills his dad is on them as well n mayb his dads the one who told him 3-5 days his dad never made it a week thts how I started was his dad..and yesterday his dad came over n my bf was middle manning 120 piills and his dad snorted 1 rite n front of me..an I tell my bf I don't wana b around tht an he still allows people to do it infront of me after telling him 100xs I think he takes all this as a joke and its not..he don't help

Congrats on 30 days! Exercise can help with both giving you energy and relieving feelings of anxiety/stress. Even just a walk. I'm around the same number of days as you and also feel irritable off and on. Wonder if it's because now we can notice things better and it takes time to get used to all the input? Be proud of your 30 days!

That is a bummer and will make it harder on you.  Has he ever had any kind of addiction problem himself?  If he has not then you know he just cannot understand even if he tries.  It's like a non-smoker knowing how hard it is to quit smoking, or a guy understanding what childbirth is like . . . you know what I mean?  Is there any way you could get him to read some of the stories and information here?  In early w/d I found some postings here & info. from some other sites and printed it out for him to read.  I know he will never truly, fully understand because he has never had an addiction, but the reading material was powerful stuff and it definitely made a difference in his ability to understand what I am going through.

I kno my soberity is way more important but my bf is always on my butt about house abd I'm lazy and this and that all day everyday which doesn't help at all..he just don't understand he thought oh 3-5 days and your good..he's wrong an still thinks that

30 days is huge; congratulations!  I can relate to exactly how you are feeling.  I have over 50 days aI and am still having some problems with energy and anxiety.  It does slowly get better, no question.  When I look back to day 30, I am definitely better off.  At least I finally got the Christmas stuff down; not necessarily put away yet, but down. . . . baby steps, right?  

So many others on here say the same thing - it will and does get better, it just (unfortunately) takes time.   Exercising has helped me a ton also; it took a few weeks to drag my lazy butt down to the treadmill, but once I did I felt really good about it (those endorphins I guess!).  In any case, 30 days really is huge in the big picture . . . try to focus on that and the fact that before you know it, it will be 60 days!!!  Who cares about a little dust and mess anyway . . . your sobriety (your life) is WAY more important!  Hang in there :)

I feel you! All the caffeine made me more nervous, as did the l tyrosine.

I switched to Ribose. Although by no means a miracle, it helps, and I'll take all the help I can get! Low energy just stinks badly.

Congrats on day 30!
