Dear si,
Life's not going to be much fun FOR A LITTLE WHILE... BUT>>>It WILL get better, you CAN stay clean and sober and there will come a time when you actually like it and are grateful you hung in there.
This helped me when I needed it: Think completely THROUGH the drug. Many times when we want to get high, we only think of the way it used to be, after that first hit (drink or whatever). But this time, think THROUGH it - think through several hours after that first hit when you know that you blew it AGAIN...That awful, sick feeling that you'll never be strong enough to stop, so you do more...think into the next day when you know you'll feel like hell and want more again...think two weeks into the bottomless pit if you need to and then ask yourself, "Is it really worth ALL THAT?" My answer was always, "No, it's not."
This is a really good time to start talking to God, too. I know I never would have made it if I hadn't.
Wishing you the best. Let us know how you're doing, huh?
Karen
