Hello John and welcome.

I hope you have by now seen your doctor and that you feel a bit better.

I agree with MG, sometimes it takes awhile to get your medication adjusted. Try to get some exercise and above all, don´t tackle all your problems at once. These are very difficult subjects and needs to be tackled one by one.

Recovery is a process that has a time of it´s own. I have been clean and sober for 17 years and I´m constantly challenged in my recovery. I was heavily into drugs in my youth and started using about the same age as you. I had to do jail time as well. I find it miraculous how I got my life together, but it was a long process that demands constant vigilance and respect. I relied on my Higher Power and my inner strenght. I never thought I would be able to get things together, but I did.

It was when I stopped hoping I would be happy as a sober person and made my goal contentment and peace of mind.

Please tell me how you´re doing. I understand your pain. But it will not last.
