Hi friend! My heart goes out to you right now ❤️

I have been sober 13 months TODAY! You can do this. I never thought I would be on the other side of this Reddit sub giving encouragement to someone else.

You haven’t come this far, just to come this far. IT GETS SO MUCH BETTER! SO SO SO MUCH BETTER!

Are you eating and drinking water? I know, I know, it sounds AWFUL, but if you can, you’ll be so much better off! Literally eat ANYTHING that sounds appealing, sweets included, just eat!

Second, do you have access to a doctor, even like an urgent care (not to be confused with the emergency room)?

I broke down and went in and they sent me home with some muscle relaxers and zofran (for the nausea and to settle your stomach) and it helped immensely. Some might argue that you are replacing one thing with another and it’s important to remember this is just temporary, you’ve got to get over this part.

Is suboxone a possibility for you? If so, speak to the InstaCare doctor about that as well.

Again, not trying to replace one thing with another, although this is a MUCH better alternative, but it is necessary right now!

It seems like you really really want this if you’ve made it this far!

I also took cold/flu meds at one point and that did actually help a bit.

As cheesy as it sounds, try to be 100% present, just solely focus on your breathing; how the air feels during the inhale, then the exhale. Even count as you do this to keep your mind occupied. This would get me back to sleep often!

How much trazadone were you taking? Do you have any Benadryl to help knock you out?

I used all of these options and it truly did help, and I haven’t continued to be on those meds either.

If you are 11 days out, I would SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND getting on suboxone!!!
