I haven't taken anything this evening-that's a first, but I don't know how to deal with this ache inside, that uneasy, anxious feeling.I just want to go to sleep so I won't give in and take anything (cause I haven't gotten rid of the pills yet) but I can't sleep it hurts inside
When I got sober awhile back I had that same feeling and I took GABA it settled me down and relaxed me and I still take it now and then along with magnesium now .
Hang in there, you can do it! I remember when I got clean and I "thought" the physical withdrawal would be the hardest part.. . . heck no, it was the emotional pain. I was scared, anxious, nervous, jittery, and the list goes on. What I know now that I didn't before, is that I can pick up the phone or log on here and get some much needed help. I still go through those feelings and they are hard. For me, it's hard to keep remembering that they are temporary and will pass. You just keep coming back and screaming for help when you need it.
