That's great that they are looking into an apartment for you. Congrats on staying clean for three days! That's huge! Of course you are going to be depressed about breaking away from things that brought you a get away from life, that's understandable and leaves a void. You need to try to find something to fill that void, even if you don't like it, like exercise. When I was quitting smoking, everytime I wanted to smoke I would do jumping jacks, or jog in place, or something like that. Then it got to a point where I would say I don't want either of them
But you have to find what works for you. Doing something you enjoy may work out better. Stay strong, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time. You can do anything for a minute.
