NGL, taking the first shit after getting sober might actually rival the high

Alright hear me out. Everyone talks about the mental side of cutting back, but nobody talks about the absolute exorcism that happens on the toilet.

My withdrawals haven't even been that bad, but my gut? Staging a violent revolution.

I spent 20 minutes pinned to the porcelain, cold sweating, having crazy cramps, and genuinely wondering if I was about to die on the throne.

Then the dam finally breaks. You feel your soul leave your body as you pass a solid brick that’s been sitting in your gut for the last 3 months.

I swear to god, that instant pressure release and the sheer relief right after is almost as good as the high itself. It’s painful, but hands down the best shit I’ve ever taken in my life.

Anyone else know this exact feeling? The first real shit after a long time of opioid abuse?
