Hang in there and please do not cave, but if you do, stop! I went through it and every day you will physically feel better, especially if you are young. When you feel better physically, then it will be time to work on the mental recovery. Sobriety and no drug use is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Hey Shane, I have to give you a lot of credit. You are staying determined. It is amazing that you are even going back to work--wow! Every now and then, take a deep breath, breathe out and live in the moment. You are going to make it through each day, one day at a time. I remember when 2.5 years ago, I was going through the severe withdrawals, after I went to bed that night, all I could do was lay there thinking I wasn't going to make it through the night. My heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was going to explode through my chest (worst night of w/d.) Finally, I just told God that I tried as hard as I could and if I made it to see the morning light then it was up to Him. I'm still here.
