Ive been high for a week

[gizzy32]

i have been high all week long, but without the use of any drugs. this post may not actually make sense cause it's hard to explain, but i really do feel high. so many good things have finally started happening and sometimes i tell myself it's too good to be true, but i gotta stop doing that. when i listen to certain songs now i get goosebumps and when im outside i enjoy it so much more than when i was on the blow. i am having a tough time sleeping cause i am so excited about life and don't want to sleep. i finally feel normal and living life again and that is the best high there is. i truly believed i could never be happy again without drugs, but that is all a lie, the lie of addiction. i get higher now than i ever did on drugs and wonder how i could have lived like that. i just want you all to know this forum taught me more than any counsellor or N/A meetings could and i am thankful to this place and my friends. maybe this post only made sense to me, but life is so ******* good without drugs. those fighting now to stay clean, keep fighting and be patient, it is worth it.

i don't know how long you have been clean gizzy since i have just joined the forum, but i DO know how wonderful life can be when you are clean. i was clean myself once for 10 years-but i learned that the addict does not go away.  i am so happy that you are feeling this way-gives me hope again- and i can relate exactly to what you mean!  Keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you are getting : )

Can you moonwalk? WOW! That is not one I can get yet. I went Waaaay back to the day of Breaking 2 Electric Buguloo. I can post some pics if I can figure out how. But yeah, my daughter was like, you're going to need some pain meds mom. I told her that if I was still taking those, I would be able to do nothing!
It is all about fear! I have severe DDD and facet syndrome and had surgery a couple of months back to shave some discs and was scared to death of being without my pain meds. If I could get the message to everyone, I would. Go off of them and get through the WD's. Once they are through, the pain that was once there is no longer as bad as you once thought it was. It is that good ol' opiate lie! It doesn't have my brain fooled for one minute more. Do I know that there will be a time when I will have to take them again. Yes. But going through all of this will make me very cautious the next time around and it will be a while before those DEVILS rear their ugly heads at me again!

lmao, i loved that. can you do me a favour. can you post some of the breakdancing pics on here. you should see me moonwalk, lol.

OMG, that's exactly how I feel. I just appreciate every good song on the radio and every minute of a beautiful day. I laugh all the time and my moods are not up and down like a roller coaster. I'm not spending every minute of the day worried about how many pills I have. I just don't have a care in the world!!! IT'S AN AWESOME LIFE NOW.

Way to go Gizzy

I totally agree with you! "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban got me at first with the goosebumps. But then I noticed all of the songs that I liked back in the day, once again, brought those feelings up in me. I used to really get into cars as my dad was a mechanic and I just stopped. The first week after being off, I pulled into a Ford dealer and in the showcase so almost the most beautiful sight ever. 2008 Mustang Shelby Cobra, 5.5 turbo charged, close to 500 HP! That would keep up with NASCAR! I thought those days were gone, but nope, back to the old Angie. And do you know what? Michael Jackson's 25th Anniversary Edition of the Thriller Album came out and I showed my girls that their mom that they once knew, frail and full of nothing, can actually still break! I was doing some popping and locking, the Thriller dance, the robot, the worm and doing some of the breaking I learned back then. It will take some practice, but I am going to get it all back! I am determined. My daughter said, "Wow mom, you are the coolest mom ever!"
