feeling....
I've been sitting here trying to figure out how I feel and I JUST realized I feel nothing. No connection to anything in my home...my life.
I know I am the queen of the one question drive by...but please if anyone has felt this way...share, this is scaring the crap out of me.

If I have a bad day I always remember were going to have bad days and good days. But usually after a bad day a good day follows. Yesterday was bad for me. And im on day 70 today. Today was good...really good. Everyday is different. We just have to keep on truckin and remember that things could be a lot worse. I could be back on day 69...lol good luck to you and wish you all the best in your recoveries
Great Job!!
I remember after my 30 days and more I hit this stage and there was MANY stages as time goes by, anyway it was a No-Interest Stage. I was weak and was not interested in a thing..it was the strangest feeling I have ever felt and I was 56 at the time. The only thing I could do is go to meetings..I talk to a Head Dr about this and he said since I was a long time user it will take time for the Brain to Balance back. He said that it was like shinning a Flash Light on one small thing and that is all I could take in at the time, and I had to keep shinning that light over and over on that one small thing for it to sink in.
SO Just give this all TIME and as you heal you will get better & better and that Light will soon be able to Shine all over the place and you will be just dancing up a storm..
PS..Also when I came home after being gone for 40 days, I did not even think it was my house and I looked at all my things on the walls and everything!! My Dogs & Hub and nothing seemed Real. Like I just came out of a 20 year Comma and all this was done while I was out..Very, Very unbelievable. This here will pass!

30 days is great, but, being honest, you have a long way to go.
This is what I call the recovery roller coaster. One day you'll be down so far that you question everything; the next you'll be feeling great and will be certain that feeling so low will never happen again, but it will.
As has been said hundreds of times, the physical detox is easy compared to the mental battle. At a month you've done the work and expect "normal" now. However, there will be some days when nothing seems to matter; nothing excites you, nothing to look forward to. But it all changes. That's a promise. So, buckle up, hang on, and at least learn from the ride. Just think of the stories you'll be able to tell.

Congratulations on 30 days !!!
Your explaining that numb feeling, which is so, so normal. Especially at 30 days.
Well done on your clean time : )

Congratulations on 30 days today. I am on day 6. But it seems to be working out. I understand your feelings of disconnection sometimes. I think it is normal to feel that way. I think it will get better. You should be very proud of yourself for coming this far! It is a big accomplishment.
Congratulations on one month!! That's a huge milestone. I'm looking forward to hearing about things getting better with you soon! I know it will. Keep posting. Keep reaching out.
Thank you so very much for responding. You have no idea how much I was praying for anyone to grab my hand....
I think I need to accept what I can not control and have faith that I will be better each day.

Well said! Its weird how we let something so small control so much. ..not anymore!
That stuff will dissolve away as time goes on. You're not feeling the fake energy the pills gave you pretty much. I know I don't need to explains the 5 minutes of buzziness we looked forward to when we did the first hits in the morning. But always remember that it went away much too soon and we needed more. And then more. We became addicted to more. Well, how about that great feeling of well being but it DOESN'T go away in 5 minutes? That is absolutely in your future. That's the miracle about not using. You won't HAVE to use. You'll comprehend the word serenity and you will know peace. It just takes some healing time. Your new life is yours for taking, just give it some time. I saw that Gnarly suggested NA. He's right. If we surround ourselves in the atmosphere of recovery and get with other addicts it speeds up the healing process. I went tonight and I always hear something I needed to hear. I also got to share how I feel. You did the same thing tonight. You shared that you feel nothing. You got on here and you shared your feelings. This is a great part of your healing process. Keep up the good posting. Take everything literally one day at a time. Stay in the now. Forget the past and the future isn't here yet. All we have is today. And if we get to bed clean tonight we've actually had a wonderful day.
