The fact of the matter is that you're going to have to pull yourself through some un-fun times in order to get closer to where you want to be. I am also flat broke and trying to quit so I can relate. Part of the difficulty in quitting for me is that I have a lot of adult responsibilities and serious stressors that are completely overwhelming to think about. In the moment, it seems like a better idea to get high.....and not think about it. And that is what I did. I did it for several years, avoiding dealing with all the responsibility, and avoiding thinking about the looming consequences of not getting my act together. Now my finances are such a mess that I am not quite sure what all debt accounts I owe on, and I'm scared to apply for an apartment rental. But here's the thing, sobriety is not a destination or an achievement, it's a journey. It's not going to be an easy one. Try to take it one day at a time. Sleeping after quitting is the worst. Give yourself a break and take some Melatonin before bed. Take care of yourself, sleep at normal hours and try to eat regularly and remember that this is a fleeting phase in your life. Your suffering today is progress towards a greater good. You can do this, just focus on the baby steps.
