Hey Merry! 11 and a half days is amazing! I know it’s been a struggle. Lots of emotions on top of withdrawals are tough…but so are you! You gotta want to stay sober more than you want that drink. Don’t let your mind trick you! A drink NEVER makes a bad situation any better. It’s just a temporary escape. Keep pushing thru. Have you had a chance to get involved with any support group/meetings? Highly recommend you do. Regardless, I hope your anger has dissipated to a manageable level. The serenity prayer helps me when I get upset. Sometimes I have to repeat it several times, but it does help diffuse my anger just enough so that I don’t do or say something stupid. Keep up the good work.

Mine isn’t alcohol, it was first opiates then suboxone, and then now nothing I quit cold turkey! That is how badly I wanted it, thank you so much :blush: I appreciate the encouraging words! I am going to do this it just gets hard, but it’s gonna be okay!

I have terrible social anxiety :disappointed_relieved: so I have been solely depending on this app, but it helps

I was on opiates for 21 years, oxy, the last 5 years I switched to fentanyl. I quit using fentanyl 2 years ago. It gets better, hang in there! Proud of you!

This app is a great start!! Most of us suffer from some degree of social anxiety, thus all the unhealthy isolating. I just want to push you just a little in a gentle caring way, because connecting and sharing is an important part of our recovery. Baby steps in the right direction one day at a time has got you to 11 and 2/3rds of a day! Glad you are here and sharing!

Keep going. It gets better. It’s ok to feel angry, just don’t let the anger control your decisions. Self care is so important, be gentle with yourself.

Will do I plan to find a physical meeting, as soon as I get my 30 days I hope then I will feel better about myself and more confident! I’ve always had self esteem/ confidence problems, that the medication suppressed, but I know I will get that back!
