my emotions are so numb...

Jesus the past few days my emotions have just been blank...nothing there. I still feel happy but when it comes to being affectionate I dont want nothin to do with it. I feel like I dont want to show that im happy or im sad. Cant wait till these emotions will come back! Much love

Dallas

The first month I got clean I was so numb, I had forgotten how to feel from my drug use, but I remember when I started feeling again and cried for the first time in ages it was such a release and felt good, although I was mad at myself at the time for being emotional, lol. Part of getting clean is learning to feel again too, although sometimes it can be tough, we are human, we are supposed to feel and cope with things without drugs if that makes sense?  

Congrats on your clean time. It is a process and so many changes happen, so keep moving forward and stop being such a cold p r i ck, lmao. Im teasing, you know im proud of you:) Your really working at it this time, I am proud of you!

I  felt the same way a few days ago, then its like a trigger was pulled.  ALL of my emotions came to the surface, at the same time!  If im  not mistaken, I believe I read this is part of PAWS.  I pretty much just go with the flow these days.  Honestly, im happy to FEEL again!
