Hey there!
I am so sorry to hear of this rough patch you are going through, but you have got this!! It is EXTREMELY brave of you to quit cold turkey, many never muster up the courage to do such a thing. I know the temptation to turn back may be strong, but I know you WILL find the strength to carry on! I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers friend!!
Hey there friend, thank you for sharing what you’re going through right now. I know it must be SO difficult to endure the struggle of withdrawal, especially after quitting cold turkey. Your soul feels like its being attacked and it probably feels really isolating to be suffering this alone. But first, I want to let you know that you are NOT alone, even if it feels like it. I have struggled with my own addictions for years and quitting cold turkey is SO SO hard. Everything in your body is telling you to go back to your old ways, and life feels impossible without your old habits. I know how that feels and I am here for you.
No matter how hard it gets, because it certainly will be hard, I believe that you truly do have the power to stay clean and to find hope on the other side of this. Even right now, when hope probably sounds like wishful thinking, there IS hope for you just as you are, just as there was for me in my struggles. You are not defined by this addiction, so you don’t have to let it beat you down anymore. And I’m so proud of you for taking a stand against those demons that tormented you for so many years! Your strength and your courage are incredible, and I am encouraged greatly by your example.
When those demons taunt you to go back to the pain meds, I encourage you to holdfast to the hope that says you are not a slave to your old ways, you are not weak, and your life is filled with so much purpose that you had never even imagined on the other side of this. It’s a daily fight, and I’m pushing through one step at a time in my own struggles right beside you. But no matter what, I believe with all my heart that you are greater than this addiction and through faith and sharing your struggles with others around you, you CAN endure. I am praying for you in this moment, my friend, and sending you all my strength and love.
