I’m glad I can inspire you. That itself helps me. We all have our own journey but as addicts we have to help each other. We’re the only ones that truly understand. Funny you mention hot showers. I’ve actually been doing research but surprisingly cold showers work really well for depression and opiate withdrawa. I started doing it. It actually works. It’s horrible at the time but boy the anxiety, cravings, depression are just completely zapped. Likewise and message me whenever you want. Amazing part of all of this I really don’t have that many inner demons to deal with anymore. I actually started using because I was bored and not challenging myself. So sad. There’s just no excuses any more to use. If you’re honest with yourself then you can really start to recoverImpressive story and really inspiring. I’m 7 days clean on oxy but didn’t start from as deep of a hole as you. You said you want to one day be someone that inspires others on this forum? Well, check that off your list. I’m inspired by you to stay clean knowing that you’re fighting bigger badder demons than I am.
Excercise, meditation, yoga, walks, hydration, long hot showers, supportive wife, being around my 2 little kids... nothing groundbreaking here but they have all helped me.
Message me anytime. Let’s hold each other accountable for making good choices.
