So I'm one month sober. I been using on and off. Mostly on or at least on methadone for the past 9 years. Its crazy to think about how time just flies. One minute I'm 19 making really stupid decisions and having a party and the next I'm 9 years later picking up the pieces. I don't know where all the time went. Anyway, I guess I just look at myself hard in the mirror a lot. Its hard not to. I can't help but notice this weary look in my eyes. In my view, I look worn out. Its like when I look in the mirror, I see everything that happened to me and the weariness in my eyes. But when people see me nobody ever believes me and says I'm full of shit and look normal. But I see it and it bugs me. I look shook. Like I saw a ghost or something. I guess I see my trauma in my own eyes. I'm only one month sober maybe its just because of that. Maybe as more good things happen, I will get that spark back in my eyes. Sometimes I look at peoples eyes who have never done drugs or had too much crazy shit happen to them and I just think man the look in their eyes is so clear and innocent! Maybe its just cuz they are really sober. I don't know. Its really confusing to me. Another thing that happened is my skin is a lot more fucked than it used to be. I know part of it is being in really dry places during the winter in canada, but I suspect part of it is that I have been smoking since I was 11 and smoking pot since 15. Plus I eat like way too much sugar. Def on the road to diabetes no question about that. Gotta get off that road sometimes soon!
Does anyone know if your skin repairs or something when u quit smoking and get off drugs? Also its pretty night and day between the way someone looks whent hey one month sober and like a year sober right? I just look sick when I look in the mirror. Like not like really sick just kinda off u know? Like a junkie, but that nobody els can see but me. I dunno I hope u can figure out what I'm trying to say. Share your experiences!!
