CT day 100
Hi guys I have not been here for a while and thought this would be good for people to see to show it is possible!
I am pretty good now nothing much other than occasionally I feel a bit low which really is not frequent anymore thankfully.
If you are just starting you can do this, I thought I was going to be depressed and joyless for the rest of my life. I am not though, far from it!
So glad I managed to get off that stuff 100 days ago because on Friday I break up with my GF (planned already not a surprise to her) as she is going to uni and we both agreed that we had a good time together but we cannot deal with uni again as she went once for a term and hated it.
I am grateful I had her to help me get through it she really made the difference and I don't think I could have done it quite so successfully without her and I would fucking hate to be doing it once she leaves.
Bit of a ramble but yes 100 days!
Keep on quitting

100 days. Okay this right here makes me wonder: how much of the withdrawals, or PAWS I guess, are actually a result of your addiction and how much are just whatever problem you were self medicating returning because you stopped?
I would have figured after 100 days you’d be pretty well off the stuff, does PAWS really last that long?
Waiting for the reply to this... as this question really gets to the heart of the issue
I don't think it's PAWS I had heavily drank the night before posting this and stayed up all night. It always makes me feel depressed and anxious some call it the 'Sunday scaries'.
I am fine now like 100% and rarely ever depressed from the W/D. Some get it worse than others I got off lightly.
I have to say that’s a relief. I used Kratom to get off Suboxone and another absurdly drawn out detox would be a bummer. (Suboxone takes a month for the acutes to disappear, forget PAWS, which can drag on for ages).
Congrats, keep away from the stuff! The hard part is over. I must say that the 2010s has made Opiate type substances look very unappealing, unlike say, the 1970s or 1990s which kind of glamorized them in their own masochistic way. You are blessed to be free of this now extremely common ailment. Good for you!
