nah, you're not a crybaby. we just confuse the shit out of ourselves emotionally, mentally and habit-wise. So what you're doing is actually what an intelligent person would do, you don't know so you ask others for perspective.
A lot of folks don't realize that it does take time to get back to 'normal' but really, when you step back and look at the bigger picture, a few months to a year isn't shit compared to the amount of years that are ahead of us.
This is uncomfortable for you right now because its new. Nothing ever stays 'new', man.
For me, saying stuff like 'I'm fucked for life' (yeah, I've said/thought that as well before) is just me trying to give me an excuse to keep getting high. When I've continued chasing after my drug with that mentality I would get pissed because I expected people to accept it and just say 'well, he says he's fucked for life and can't be helped so its ok' but they really were saying 'dude, you're just trying to justify your usage and you expect us to support ya? get the fuck outta here'
we didn't fuck ourselves in a few months so its unrealistic to think that we can unfuck ourselves in a matter of days or weeks.
You sound a lot like me, man. I get in my head and think the craziest shit in order to rationalize getting high, cutting/burning myself, etc. Its old thought patterns that we've grown accustomed to. Whenever we encounter something new and foreign its real easy and real comfortable to go directly to the ways we're accustomed to thinking. It seems safer that way because its familiar. When the pain of staying stagnant and using got greater than the pain of change I had to do something different.
Keep pushing through, man... there is a reward but it takes some time. A few months can feel like a lifetime but before you know it you start to notice that it has gotten MUCH easier
