opiate recovery and sex

[badsneakers]

I know that got your attention...

forgive me if this is inappropriate, but I have to put this out there (no pun intended)...but i feel this may help with some of our need for incentive to get/stay clean...

I am on my ninth day of no opiates and found that my sex drive has returned and that...it (sex) is better than I can remember...

anybody else with similar experience?

Ya know.. me and my hubby only have sex about once a month, and sometimes it felt like a chore, how horrible is that. We are only on day 3 1/2 of being clean but I have high hopes that after the withdrawals are gone that both of us can get our sex drive back. I mean, we are both good looking and Im still very attracted to him. I never put it together that the opiates took away my sex drive. Wow.. what an eye opener this forum has been for me. It can only get better from here, right?

how unusual for you to put a post out there that gets everyones attention! LOL
I finally had sex with my husband yesterday, day 16 of my detox.  Man, he is patient!  I don't know if it felt different like I was more alive or anything....but AFTERWARD I went outside and worked on the yard and played music and was singing and ALIVE!  (had the stupid cops called on me for playing my music too loud)  I wanted to tell him I am detoxing, got laid, and it's my first day outside in 2 weeks.  But kept that all on the downlow.....
So, I needed it, whether I knew I did or not.

i was taking about 6  a day at the worst and it took me about a week before the emotional roller coaster started to level out.
sex drive started to be off the chain about the 3rd or forth day
thought i may break my neck looking at every appealing  woman that crossed my path. :)
