At the moment I'm struggling a bit because I'm supposed to study for my exams, write a few papers and things but I'm completely unable to do it because I feel like **** all the time. I feel completely drained and exhausted, I don't have the energy to do anything.
That is a normal reaction to stopping. Your body is trying to adjust to not having that chemical "relief." I had grown accustomed to instant relief when things got tough or difficult. Psychologically, physically and emotionally I had to "heal" in all three areas. I had to develop coping skills to avoid using to escape life's difficult times. I use a 12 step program and go to meetings. But my spouse knows all about it. Honesty in this area might be helpful if this is something you have not shared with your partner. It makes life much easier as I don't feel like I am "hiding" my disease. I don't know if that is an issue for you or not, but just something to consider if it is.
Good for you in a wise decision to quit! Keep coming back!
