You're awesome! :)
My difficult reach towards recovery

I will keep this thread updated daily to record my recovery experience, please join me as I explore the wonders of sobriety.

Sharing any experience or words of advice would be GREATLY appreciated and recognized!

Edit: 60 hours sober. :)

Abstaining from drugs, even this cigarette I've had all day.

Just doing a lot of thinking lately, perhaps I should get some sun tomorrow.

Thank you for being here for me ever since I joined Bluelight.

My very first Bluelight friend and definitely one of the best I've had the privilege to meet. :)
 
Maybe some minor activities, I'm experiencing very uncomfortable muscle aches and pain.

I use to love exercising. Jogging, bike riding, playing sports, lifting weights and even walking.

It was only until I relapsed that I stopped, maybe this is a great opportunity to get back on track.

I'm having trouble eating, anorexia. Not because I want to be skinny I just loss the appetite for food. Snoking weed use to help me, but as you can see that's not a liable option.

Any suggestions?
 
Most have my symtpoms have eased or at least they feel like they have. Guess I was being a bit dramatic, my withdrawals might just be psychological.

Feeling great, staying productive and looking foward to returning to highschool. :)
 
How long were you on SSRI's and what were you prescribed? Maybe see your doctor if the effects of coming off are bothersome. Ideally, it's best to taper off them gradually. Some (like venlaxafine) I noticed were harder than others to discontinue but every person is different.

My ignorance is so bliss. I haven't really taken SSRIs often enough to have SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome but I have taken many drugs that affect serotonin.

I'm just in a very bad place so excuse my stupid diagnosis. What I'm feeling is due to drug use, withdrawals and poor mood.

The drugs I've used are alcohol, cannabis, seroquel, ambien, gabapentin, oxycodone, codeine, LSD, MDMA, caffeine, tramadol, cocaine, nicotine, inhalents, diphenhydramine, herbal incense, dextromethorphan, nitrous oxide and probably more I can't even remember.

Good luck - if you want my advice, the best exercise is just taking long walks in nature.

Also, if you want to be serious about quitting all drugs for the rest of your life, I'd suggest getting entirely new sober friends. And just focus on work/school as much as possible - when I was sober at the end of college, I got straight A's, it was actually kind of weird, honestly...

My mom is going to take me to sign up tomorrow, hopefully. :)

I have symptoms similiar to a cold, even though I have access to cough medicine I'll resist. I'm in no position to take it responsibly and they just supress the feelings, not cure it.

A long, serene walk sounds good might go for one of those when the temperature gets warmer. Thanks for the acknowledgement friends, I don't know where I'll be without compassionate hearts you all have. :)
 
i think biggest problem why most people wont recover is,it takes months for brain to get semi normal but after first week they see no differnce so they give up.

if u think addiction is hard i am recovering from back atrophy training and eating like bear one year made very little progress,by this time most addictions would be over
 
Goodluck :) I wish you well.

I echo the others; get some exercise, focus your mind on other pursuits and spend time with people who also dont do drugs.
 
Cakes, I just wanted to drop in and thank you for your support for me thus far. You are suffering through the same thing I am, yet you take time to offer me words of encouragement. What an amazing person you are.

Keep moving forward in positive directions and things will get better. I am thankful for you. I want you to succeed and I know you will. I don't know if my advice is quite as good as yours, but please know that I will be monitoring your thread and offering any help where I can. Just like you told me, please share your positive experiences as a beacon of light for those who want to follow in your footsteps; and share the dark and difficult times so that we can help you through them.

With love Cakes,

TTGB
 
Just checking in on you ol buddy. How are you today? I hope you're mind is clearing up a little bit... I know that dysphoria is a bitch for a while. I'll be on most of the day. Stay strong, keep moving, talk to us if you need to.

All the love and prayers I can give to you friend, I will.
 
Thanks for the support fellas. I woke up today feeling happy, didn't end my snooze with this sensation in quite a while.

Got a minor cold but it'll pass soon so I can start physical descipline. Exercise.

Living one day at a time, all is well. :)
