How the hell did you do this? I've been off subs for awhile, since April 11th.. I WENT from feeling renewed/renowned, and now i'm feeling like SHIT again. Listening to Staind / It's been awhile. HOW THE F?
Still clean and serene 1 year, 3 months and 5 days.
Hi, Subs can take longer than heroin in my opinion, although you were feeling better? Give it more time. I actually have my mind back a bit and feeling stable without the extreme highs and lows without the drugs, as well as off the drugs experiencing post acute withdrawal. I do know for some there can be a dopamine flood or pink cloud feeling. I had a little bit of that for a while but it doesn't last. I was just amazed to be alive and so grateful. I still am but life is evening out a bit. Your brain might just be adjusting now… balancing out past the initial elation.
Do you take anything else? Other drugs and disorders can effect recovery. I have my underlying mental stuff and physical pain to deal with for sure. I sometimes am still amazed I made it through this.![]()
6 months off opiates, 3 months off benzos and a week off spice. I really gotta say, that spice shit is EVIL. Getting off that was worse than benzos and dope IMO. I still feel it. It's making me think of relapsing. So I'm trying to stay strong. Visiting sober living forums instead of drug use forums. Changing habit isn't easy. I appreciate the support this place brings. I hope you all are hanging in there. This is probably the hardest thing we have all had to do. But the end result is a wonderful life! Let's make this happen!
congrats on all the good news![]()
