[zerokewl123]

Hello all I have a question. I em returning to how I use to be but yet I dont know how to feel that way anymore its wierd. I em sitting here for a minute with my mind and like what now I feel like there is suppose to be more. ( I guess becuase of the euphoric feeling ) any advice?

Hi and congrats on day 5! What you're feeling is completely normal! I'm on day 23 and it gets much easier! Be sure to take vitamins/supplements and continue to drink plenty of water.

Like CNK said you'll experience lots of highs/lows the first week, some the 2nd week (less though), and by the third week it should be few/far between.

My first 2 weeks I stayed busy busy busy. The weekends were the worst so I over-plan on the weekends and run around all day. This has really helped so much.

Again, congrats, and keep updating us on how you're doing!

Congratulations on your decision to take control of your life back -

One thing I did A LOT the first 2 weeks and actually still do is plan my life when I have the ups - The first 2 weeks I had zero control of when the dark feelings of emptiness hit me... at these points the future appeared meaningless and hopeless. When they hit you all you can do is keep a firm grasp on the one thought - THIS WILL GET BETTER... When I had ups I planned the platform on which my new life should be build... that included performing my job, and exercising 3 times a week... these were non-negotiable, HAS-to be done things in my life.. it added a feeling of stability and when I didn't feel like exercising I just grabbed on to thought - YOU MUST ..

Hope my little ranting gave some meaning

Bro I'm terrified of that it got me good for like an hour today... Its like what's next... But I'm just trying to focus on known me so I'm healthy enough to know what it is I wanna do..... I know EXACTLY  way ur say in its just time to throw the head phones on do a few push ups n sit ups n force some natural endorphins in n if that's too much take a hot bath I take literally 10 a day past 8 days... That methadone don't like leaving... Hot bath if u can't work out.... Hot bath is it...

How you feel now is temporary. You'll settle in before you know it. You'll soon be working on some really good recovery and getting into living life on life's terms. You have a good life ahead of you, but today all you need to do is stay out of the past and stay out of the future. Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, all we have is today. Enjoy your new life and your freedom as it unfolds in front of you. Congratulations on your decision to get your life back!

I think I understand. It's almost like starting a new job and the feelings that come with it. You're sitting at your desk like okay what else am I suppose to be doing, am I doing everything right, am I missing anything?  It's just new to us because everything has been so suppressed for so long. We are not use to feeling anymore. It is a weird feeling but like ROSYouralright said just roll with it and feel what you are feeling and eventually you will stabilize.

dAY 4 is good... Things start looking up from here on out. Just keep your guard up at all times. I know what ya mean... Kinda like getting to know yourself all over again when your thoughts become clearer....

[CKN30]

I went that around day 4,5. I think mentally you are so motivated and proud of yourself. You just feel like you can do anything!! The first 2 weeks there were highs and lows, week 3 ( where I am now) I think I have " stabilized" not so many highs and lows but a very happy medium!

sorry was on opiates like norco and synth stuff like tramadol

[zerokewl123]

its my fourth day ive had so much more energy today  got alot done this am and then this afternoon sat down and its all just there I mean I feel good but just trying to figure out how to explain it the best way I can is what to do with myself or like who em I I guess

[ROSYouralright]

The absolute BEST advice I got was JUST ROLL WITH IT! Simple? NO, not always... But just learn how to FEEL what you are FEELING in the present and take each feeling as it comes... How long have you been clean? what were you using?
