I have decided to make March a totally sober month.
I am doing this because I'd like to see my full potential, how I feel, and really re-evaluate my decisions in life.
I am a former opiate addict, mostly Vicodin and oxy. I cleaned up in September of last year, and although I am no longer addicted physically, I still feel a strong pull. I went sober for a long time, battled through PAWS, but I have been using twice a month for the past few months, although I've never gone past that. I am noticing however that for a couple days of fun, I seem to be in "recovery" so to speak for a few days after. It is nothing like full blown withdrawl, but for a few days my energy is depleted, spirits low etc. and I'm sick and tired of it. I want to do a whole month sober, to see how I feel after it.
I want to hear some stories from people who used occasionally and did a long period of sobriety. How did you feel? Did you feel significantly better?
If I wind up realizing that even this occasional use is holding me back and causing me a ton of problems, I'm really going to have to reevaluate my life and decide whether or not it's worth it. I'm really excited to see what this opportunity has to offer, and looking for similar experiences from people here?
If anyone wants to do this with me, I'd be so appreciative
