12days in... It gets better right?
I'm 12 days sober from meth and although I have my mom as the best support system ever, I feel lost and mildly confused about what I'm suppose to be doing..... My main reason for starting was the energy I needed in raising my kids (sounds horrible I swear it isn't) my two youngest are less then a year apart and still toddlers.... I'm struggling with the cravings and lack of energy emotions and mood disorders that I already have.
Do your best

Hi Stina
you're goign to feel fatigued for a little while. There's no way around that really. Try and be as healthy as you can - eat well, sleep well, exercise a little.
Your energy will return. If things didn't get better few of us would stay clean and sober I think.
You'll find a lot of support and good ideas here too. Soberwolfs links are pretty good

Give yourself time, Stina. Try not to focus on all the things left undone. My god, with two little ones I would think that just keeping them fed and out of danger would be stellar! Fantastic work on the 12 days, dear.

On day 17.... Thank you everyone, I'm feeling better. More energy and my personality is back thank goodness, even though people now think I'm on drugs now because of my personality, even though they never knew about it before!!
However I actually have three minions ages 2,3 & 9... They are showing a drastic change in the fact that I'm sober and the bond between us now is amazing!!

Any good tips on relapsing?
I have twice in a three month period. I am currently only sober 10 days again. It sucks pretty bad that a drug has that kind of hold on me even over my kids and court. I've gotten lucky and haven't been tested but there was a chance. Does that make me the worst parent and person ever?
I've had to cut off my best friend and only person I have turned to for the last year because of this drug and the fact that she does it.
Has anyone been able to mend a drug related friendship after both people got sober? Or is it something I need to deal with the fact that we will never be friends again?
I'm mildly hating myself and this drug. Why did I start again. Why after 9 years did I turn to it... It has killed the person and strength I use to have.... Ugh.

I wouldn't worry as much about your friendship until you are solid in your sobriety. The rest is easier to figure out when you feel strong enough to ask tough questions about yourself without the answer ever being returning to using, no matter how hard the circumstances or outcome.
You and your sobriety must come first, it's the cornerstone of puzzle pieces before you try fitting in any other parts of the life puzzle. If you put a good effort into reaching out in the sober community you will find a lot of good support and opportunities to make good, healthy connections on the right side of sober.

That's where I'm having issues. With Childrens Aid Society still around I don't feel like I can go to groups or none anonymous meetings of any sort without them finding out how long/bad my addiction was. I considered going to na but feel like it isn't enough to help in those areas I need solid help.
