Oh my goodness, I am going through withdrawals and mania. I don’t know what to do, my body feels so weird. It’s like I just need it so so bad but I don’t have any money - I guess that’s god stopping me from doing it. But I just want to take the pain away. I need help, I have so much healing I have to do - I’m just so tired. Why do people hurt other people? I don’t understand, then they made it seem like it was my fault. Im so tired, I just want escape and not be sober.

Hi Babygirl, you got this. Using will not help your situation, even if I don’t know all the details. Living life as it comes is hard, but it totally worth it. I know a lot about mania, I know it can be disconcerting and make us believe things that aren’t true. Trying writing out a list of all the reasons to stay sober.

Rehab? Withdrawals can be brutal. Hope you give this a serious try. Only gets better when facing reality. Vicious cycle running. Dead ends everywhere.

I hope you can open these.
You are right, it won’t fix my situation. Life is hard right? But we are making it through it, and I am so proud of us for that lovely. Thank you for the kind words, it’s very helpful. I will definitely write a list and if it’s okay with you, I’ll add you and send you the list thank you again!

Do you think going to a detox facility would help?

I’ve honestly never been to one, I’m going to rehab next week though. I don’t know the difference honestly because I’ve never reached out for this kind of treatment.
More short term pain is unfortunately part of the process to end the long term pain of addiction.

Ain’t that the truth 
I went to detox before rehab. It’s basically medically assisted to wean you off drugs or alcohol so you don’t go into withdrawals

Someone told me once that my feelings wouldn’t kill me and they were right. When I finally had the courage to face them and dealt with my trauma and yes it hurt like heck, but it didn’t kill me. I hope this brings you hope and if you ever need to talk about it I’m here!

You might need a medical detox. At least see your doctor and be honest about what you were using when asking for help and advise. Please go to meetings and surround yourself with clean and sober people.

Hope you’re still hanging in there. A lot of good suggestions in this thread, if you can’t do a rehab the medical detox is the way to go.
Stick and stay baby girl…
Withdrawals are going to be pretty gruesome, been there with heroin and it sucked! But you just gotta make a commitment and be willing to put an end to it. Take lots of hot baths and showers, even if you only have the strength to just lay there. Get tons of rest and take Tylenol, keep your mind focused on some good movies and reach out to people you love. Write your thoughts down on paper, make some art, listen to music, go for a walk, exercise!! Exercise really helps. If it gets to the point where you don’t know how to cope with it, reach out to a rehab center. But you’ve got to get in that mindset that you’re going to stop doing this to yourself and you’re gonna get better— even if it’s hurts! It’s worth it in the end and I PROMISE it’ll get better! Keep fighting!

And if you’re close to God, just keep talking to Him. He led me out of my darkness many years ago & He can/will do the same for you! He loves you!
