[Aegon]

Finals week is a bitch for anyone, especially for those accustomed to getting through it with some form of speed. I wish I had good advice for you, but everything I can think of doesn't really apply to someone who is under the gun and stressed out as hell. Do you have a sponsor or someone you can call to talk you through it?

Hang tough, Aegon. As you said, get through today and it gets more manageable. You can do it!

My housemate is aware of my problem. He usually helps me when the going gets tough.

I miss the feeling of being able to do anything. That's what it gave me. The efficiency, the euphoria... it's funny how I can spout all this spiritual B.S. to other people but I can't listen to it myself when push comes to shove. Such is the irrationality of addiction, I suppose.

It's crunch time at my college this week, and it's so hard to stop myself from relapsing. I have so many connections on the campus... for stim meds, paste, meth... all of them help me with getting my finals and final papers done. I crave the speedy feeling. I have so much to do... this'll be the first "finals week" in my 3 years here that I won't be using anything (aside from caffeine) to get through it. All I have to do is get through the rest of today, and the rest of the work will be manageable. But today... oh god, I'm so overwhelmed.

This may come across as unfeeling or uncaring but don't cave to the crave. It will only hurt you in the long run. You'll get thru this!

Not uncaring at all, quite the opposite. I appreciate it.
