Thats a good start. The trick is to learn to recognize your addiction controlling your thoughts and emotions. Yes you feel bad now, but its not always going to be this way. Its withdrawal and your body/brain trying to level out after all the chemical use. It takes time, but I promise you wont always feel this down. Learn to recognize this as temporary and try and not put too much emphasis into your thoughts and feelings, because they are magnified and all over the place. I know when I am in withdrawal, I try and not make any big decisions because I am just not thinking clearly. Ive learned to spot this and try and limit my exposure to anything that can stress me out or cause me to make choices.
