A guide to enjoying life

This is great!

Music. Getting some fresh air, sun and coffee. Making a date once a week to catch up with an old friends. Going dancing (yes, it's also fun sober).
 
Benzodiazepine withdrawal is rough. Good thing you didn't have a seizure. I remember waking in a panic one morning when I was withdrawing from oxy+benzos and it was the worst experience I've ever had in my life. I was calling everybody and I was massively freaking out. The sound of the vent drove me to madness. I think activities that limit anxiety since the rebound anxiety can be pretty bad after that. I personally like to organize my life/clean when I'm feeling that way. Physical exercise is also a good one to tire you out.
 
Dont ever think "if x, then I can be happy." Just enjoy every moment as much as you can even if its for its absurd mundaneness, keep in mind you have finite time here alive and their is a poetic quality even on spending it on something trivial if you do it consciously.
 
Really nothing specific, savor even your misery because when you feel emotion you know you are feeling something and it is a sign you are alive.

This is good - misery is better than emptiness, and if you are capable of feeling misery, then you have emotion, and proves you have the capacity for happiness when the time comes.
 
Guys, try camping! It does wonders! When you go out and you see how the world exists away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you have no distractions except to be surrounded by nature. And when you're surrounded by it, you notice things which make you think that life is fucking amazing.

Honestly go out there and see some nature man.

Hey zoeylynn I'm in Houston too! w00t :) I love our city tonight. I love this city always. With teeth that cut like a knife. And spits me out after days .... Yeah

Riding my bike HARD does it for me. We have an awesome park with technical trails Through the woods that will own you. Plus once your body gets ripped and you feel all sexy, it's a good natural high. Feeling 100% good in a bikini does wonders for your brain. An rough sex is a good therapy too ;P

I want to earn my way into the lounge.

Houston is beautiful!! I love to look at the city at night. There are some really cool places in town. I have been down town a few times and it rocked!! There is so much to see and do.
 
I like doing chores around the house for my parents, digging up weeds in the garden is especially meditative. Also just plain meditating is pretty awesome. Going on hikes always does a lot to clear my brain, a good hike where I build up a good sweat. Going on long walks alone. Hanging out with what few friends I have at this point who are not drug-users. And hanging out with drug-users is fun too (though not nearly as much fun as it was when I was a drug-user!)
 
I love taking care of things. I like helping people, volunteering, and I absolutely love helping animals. Volunteering at animal shelters, fostering dogs, loving my own dogs, loving other peoples dogs. It's something that works for me to make me feel like I have worth. I wish volunteering at an animal shelter could be a career, I'd spend the rest of my life picking up dog poop and taking dogs for a walk. For anyone who loves animals, volunteering or even caring for animals temporarily definitely gives you a feeling of meaning and helps you enjoy life a little more.
 
After coming down from some meth yesterday I had a moment of clarity: the key to true happiness is to spread happiness to others. And, maybe this is specific to me, but I found that one of the reasons why I'm so frightened about the future is that most of my memories are painful so I think the future's gonna be more of the same. I literally struggle to recall a fond memory. But I realised I can't dwell on the past.
 
After reading every single response I just really relate with those who say "i am at peace on drugs". That's me in a nutshell, it sucks, but true. Although I must say that today I am enjoying just listening to music and cruising the forums, so this is kinda therapy for me. I am a manic depressive idiot though who has to always be entertained or I crush down
