Question by kat12: Lately as I have been going through therapy I have been asked to give up all my addictions.?
I have turned to alcohol, benadryl, weed, sex and well anything to distract me from the pain that I have. Now that Im trying to give up everything the pain is almost unbearable. Its kinda like being kicked in the stomach. I cry when I wake up in the morning and I cry on the way to work and I cry when I go to sleep. Does this pain go away? Im trying stop seeing my family for a bit because that is where a lot of the pain comes from and it just makes me realize how empty I feel inside. Also about how little love there is. I dont want to sound like Im complaining its just that I have had this pain ever since i was little.

You need to ask the therapist if there is any medication that you should be supplementing with the quitting of everything else.
