Getting off methadone was my greatest victory ever!! But it's a harsh life after 15 years on opiates. 8 of them with methadone.
It's been almost 11 months sober. Although you get your life back, it's a bit messy to make it all right again.
I had believed that after a couple of months of agony, withdrawals, panic, depression beyond all things would be enough but it is not.
I had achieved a lot, committed to exercise, hobbies, eating well. Life gets better in very slow pace. 3 steps forward, 2 back. Insomnia. Loneliness.
Keeping myself busy doing anything all the time. I'm on my lack of creativity + lethargic phase.
I have to rebuilt everything again. From bottom to top, inside out. Family, work, friends, emotions.
Forgive myself. I'm committed to a 2 volunteering activities. But failing on motivation, specially at work.
I'm truly grateful but it's damn hard. Very hard indeed.
I'd never thought I'd gonna say this. But help me God! I'm not religious but whatever it takes.
