12 months!

Hi all, hope everyone is kicking goals!

I'm 12 months clean from opiates today.

Happy to just have a cold beer and a blunt now.

Posted this to give a bit of hope to those struggling.

It can be done. 18 months ago I was ready to eat a bullet. Right now, future looks bright 😁

Thanks for the motivation! I’m only at 28 days and feel like shit, but this too shall pass. I feel the eating a bullet.

Hi are you on anything to help? Why does it get tougher at 30 day mark? I've heard that quite a bit. I'm 7 days clean off fent Today! 🥳 so just curios to what lies ahead

I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking too. I think it’s mostly because you’re sober, still feeling blah, and don’t know how to do life without the drugs. It feels hopeless. I’m trying so hard to feel grateful but I just feel mentally and physically worn out. I have so many things I want to do, but I just lay here, like I’m stuck in purgatory. I hope it gets better with more time. Right now is just yuk.

Ya it sucks man you just have to get through it. Eating healthy, exercising and getting out in the sun (if you don't live up North) definitely helped me. Maybe can look into a run of Wellbutrin to get over the hump. I'm coming up on 11 months and still have time to go till I feel I'm totally back but just keep remembering every week it will usually get a little better and after enough time passes you will feel great again, but if you fuck up and relapse you are back at square one.

Yupp you nailed it. Day 30-60 or so were pretty rough and that’s exactly how I felt

Great job, keep distancing yourself from the drug- and don't turn back!

Enjoy your new life

Ok, I LOVE this thread! So encouraging! I just hit 6 months. I'm still super scattered though. My emotions are just starting to level out but I'm a crazy 🤪 bitch these days LOL!

I have trouble sitting still for long. I used to love to read but now I can't even get through one chapter at a time. I can't focus on TV. Ugh! It's like ADHD⁹⁹⁹!

Closing in on 90 days. You don’t need a year to start feeling better. But seeing a post like this should motivate us all to get to that year. Who knows how good it can get. We all likely maxed out whatever “good” drugs brought us. We know that road. What we don’t know, or have forgotten entirely, is how good life can be clean.

Good vibes only: oh that makes sense! I'm.on day 6 of sub and I actually had a really rough time today. So emotionally charged today and physically just beat! So Im still having some WD and definitely cravings today , I also super sick with High fever and rona, and kidney stones to boot....sooo I'm like , if I just take one little pill.I'll feel better 🥺 or i could also die since its fent,and thats what's keeping me on the sober side. I guess its normal to have off days, we just need support groups like this amd stay the course. I'm.sorry to hear your having such a difficult time , don't get discouraged your doing So great!!! Maybe just let your dr know there might be a diff alternative for you. Sending you tons of love light and healing vibes!
