sober life sucks. tips?

Tacoma, I'm very impressed by your progress. You seem doing great considering everything. A relapse is a learning experience, not the end of the world.

The cravings are actually a good sign, it means your brain is healing - kind of like how a scab begs to be itched and scratched and reopened.

Keep it up, a lot of anonymous people are rooting for you!

Bluelight was really my only support network during my last quit. I've been off daily amphetimine and opiates for 11 months, since July of 2014. My recovery did not go full swing until I completely stopped chipping opiates 1 or 2 times a month back in February of this year. I can finally say that PAWS is mostly a memory for me now. It gets better, but it does take time, dedication, motivation and inspiration.

I wish well to everyone suffering from addiction. <3

I encountered my pink cloud after 3 or 4 weeks. However I got to tell you that it wore off in like a week and then I was neck deep in PAWS for at least 8 months. Now I was coming off a 15 year binge of opiates and amphetimine so an extended PAWS period was expected. In retrospect I am surprised that I am not still suffering from it.
 
I usually get to that 2 week mark of sobriety get all proud of myself for doing good then think about never doing H again and start to freak out and go relapse.

Come on man, buckle your shit down. You can do this man. COME ON BABY!
 
Tacoma's a woman, fyi -- I know gender is so hard to follow on these forums! The luck was in not making your connection. :) If you know what you want (an end to the withdrawals) then you've got to see it to the end. Power to ya!
 
You feeling the funk? No drive to do anything at all? It's when things get like that, that you just have to find something to do, and do it regardless. For me, it was getting a job and working overtime. Kept me busy and I earned money. Some popular things to do include starting a garden (always weeding, watering, or some kind of work it'll require to keep it going) or starting an exercise regimen.
