60 days

Been reading these stories for over 3 years. First time posting. I am 60 days clean today, well in less than a half hour, and I am telling all of you people out there who doubt things will get better.  They absolutely efffffing do!!! I promise you.  Truth be told, this past ten days or so are really where I have been feeling better.  I mean amazing. I have moments of clarity that will last for days at a time now. I was like all of you.  "Oh it's twenty days and I'm still withdrawing wtf". Well, please give it time.  I had to.  It gets better I promise all of you.  We are all good people trapped in this world of pills and drugs. Please stick it out. I remember my first month how horrible it was.  Thinking I would never feel the same.  I was right.  I do not feel the same. The high happy is gone forever.  A new feeling, new emotions, things I have never ever felt before are coming over me. Sorry for blabbing, I just want you all to know it does get better.  Sooooooo much better.  Your body and mind need time to adjust.  I remember a month in thinking about getting meds for depression and anxiety.  I stuck it out and realized I do not need anything. (me personally, others may). Just give it time.  God bless you all. Jesus has saved me.

Your post means a lot to me, and to many others. This site is meant to help those just starting detox, or those who are struggling, so most of the posts are very emotional and heartbreaking. Then, someone like you writes about how great things can / will be, and it breaths new life in to the forum...Allows us to see what's possible. Many thanks.

Congratulations on 60 days!!!  It's 60 days for me as well today...I have to say it feels pretty awesome!  I had forgotten that I was capable of living and not just surviving....And now I'm beginning to thrive...something that never could have happened on opiates.  

Life is a blessing and I am cherishing each moment...Even the difficult ones...Especially the difficult ones because I learn and evolve from them.  

Thank you for posting your inspiring words...I hope that you stick around to share your experience...This is an amazing group of compassionate people without whom I would not be writing these words right now....

Much gratitude...

I want to thank everyone on here for their responses. It is funny because I feel as if I know all of you already, I mean I have been lurking on here for quite some time, 3 years about. I know I need to get to aftercare, I seem to be a little scared of that first visit and I am not sure why. But I printed the list a few days ago, I know that I will be going. It is going to be a huge help.

Yes 60 days is huge. Its kind of wierd the feelings that come over me now. I really enjoy them as they are quite odd. I get these natural rushes of adrenaline, I like to drive around and see nature and these feelings I get are just amazing. I smell differently, see things in a new light and i am not being cheesy or corny, it is what it is...  I remember the "feeling" I got on opiates. I wouldnt trade this new life for anything. And the funny thing is, I think (know),  I will still get even better. Imagine that..... Not boasting, just want everyone who is thinking things will not get better to realize they can and WILL!

11 days is huge! Just do not get discouraged over the next few weeks. They will be a mental challenge that we all need to be aware of. I know you have heard this before, the physical is easy it is the mental that is tough. That is really an understatement. THe mental is what sends us into relapse time and time again. Most people, and I know many, survive the physical. It is a rush knowing your back is feeling better the next day or your chills are becoming less and less....
but with the mental, it is a new game. Just be prepared. And remember, i was where you are. You just need to tough it out. Stay motivated, set small goals ... Read these posts and think of where you will be in a month or two or three....

No problem Kyle. I am very grateful that people replied on here!
Not sure of where you are in recovery, but it is a mind fu** how ones attitude, emotions and feelings just flip a switch. I remember 20-30 days in I would have an hour of GREATNESS!! Like everything was solid; life rocked and I was a rock star.... Then, an hour later I was depressed, anxious, life suckss blah blah... If we could only flip that switch on all the time.. Well I am getting to a point where it is flipped up for days at a time... So just keep going, time will cure all wounds.... Time and Prayer did it for me...
