Actual vivitrol experiences?

[An___Druu]

Hi all-
I just got my first vivitrol injection yesterday. I've been trying to get off smack all year. Well not really trying so much as sorta dreaming about.. Abstractly.. Like 'one day soon I'll be clean'. Anyway somehow I got the courage to run away to my sisters in Syracuse and hide for ten days to kick. (Xanax ganja whiskey method). And honestly now I feel conversely amazing one moment and terrified the next. More good than bad, it's just I've really nurtured a truly sad and fucked up life for the last 5 years or so and being in it so abruptly clean is overwhelming. Everything is like really cold and bright and glaring. And the mail omg. But the freedom from obsessing about dope feels so damn good. Obviously I need to give this time and see what I can make happen in my life, but I'm wondering if I could here some vivitrol experiences from other junkies? It's just such a trip to be how I was 2 weeks ago, and now feel like I'm living someone else's life

Hey An_druu, welcome to BL. I can't comment on the vivitrol injection bc I have never had it, but congrats on getting clean. I did the same this past fall, and yeah, you nailed it on how different the world looks off drugs. Very uncomfortable after years of being opiated. You are definitely not alone. Hope the vivitrol works out for you
