My road to sobriety due to medical scare

A bit of background about me... I smoked roughly an 8th a day (3 and a half grams all in blunts). I was a social Molly user , social drinker, prescribed to 1.5mg of Xanax , and 2 20mg adderal XR. I had some surgery done to my feet and ended up with some amputation-threatening bone infections. I spent 5 miserable days in the hospital and now I'm on home iv to contain infection for 6 weeks. Weed was my outlet from a stressful life and my doctor told me absolutely no smoking or drinking during the 6 weeks. Mind you I'm expected to only walk when it's necessary so the cabin fever and boredom consumes me. I have to say in confidence that since I've stopped everything but the Xanax I feel like a whole new person. I feel like I could run a marathon (aside from my feet problems) and I feel my overall breathing is better. Now for the bad part which is my complete lack of patience and random depression that hits me like a closed fist. I just wanted to share my story and if anyone else has experienced this give me some input on how hard or easy it got to keep clean and motivated.

Congrats on the sobriety It has a way to make one feel like a whole person again. The mood swings are part of getting clean, but they will subside over time, I promise
