i'm a recovering heroin/opiate (and benzos and to a lesser extent stims addict) and i've been clean about 8-9 weeks now. started rehab and i haven't even had a beer in this time.

i'm exercising, eating, sleeping well and everything, but i just feel so fucking run down a lot of the time. like it's an effort to walk to another room and i have very little motivation to do anything. just utter fatigue.

does this sound familiar to anyone else, and if so, what was your experience? did you get over it? any tips?

my use of cigarettes has went up in these 9 weeks, but only to 10-15 a day, max.

thanks
 
yes this happens. and this is the hardest part I feel... You have to keep pushing man... just keep pushing... one day u will wake up and have more energy... and feel normal again... Just if you feel like its just never going to happen. take your ass to a MEETING and SHAIR what your going through. and you will get the support and motivation. I promise :)
 
When i kick i smoke a lot too.
Makes you feel more tired too.
I try to smoke less by putting my ciggy out halfway...
