Is there a temple or ashram near you? Early recovery as well as spiritual awakenings are aided by the kundalini and shaktipot of many coming together and focusing on growth. I like the Monkey Temple, the tabla and chanting of the masses brings a trance like state and openness. What group around you do you think might inspire you toward personal growth?
No biggie....its not for everyone...whatever works for u....it just has to work.
It upsets me to see this stupid suboxone advertisment on the bottom of this Web page. But what can you do....it's kind of like laughing at suboxone in the face. Ha ha I beat you mr.sub!!!! Lol
BTW I'm sorry just not in to the whole N/A thing. I've been chanting mantras and meditation. I very spiritual always have been. Like I was spiritual on sub but not really like I am now.
Day 17 just looking at that is wild I really did it. I think I might be lazy too. I'm just waiting for my add medication. Just trying to live the way I'm supposed to. I don't have any cuz the sub habit traded didn't have money to see a doc. Now I'm actually going to be myself i mean I already am. I thint this withdrawal is over but my mind is the the way it's supposed to be or does it change idk. But 17 days wow
Yeah, we do and did numb ourselves for sure with the subs. In fact I was an emotional roller coaster for quite awhile after I quit the suboxone but there's no truer word than aftercare. In the beginning of starting my aftercare, I got an actual physical relief in my brain while at the meeting....I was so desperate for any type of relief at that point that I was willing to try anything! But, they told me (on this site) to try the 90/90. What's the worst that can happen??? You don't have to talk, you just have to listen, if you feel at the end that it's not for you, then whoop your at 90 days clean anyway??? Again though, with a little divine intervention, the very first meeting I went to, I heard a woman speak (and I've never seen her again!) and what she said hit home to me so much that I give her alot of credit for my decision to go back. On January 1st, 2015, I will be picking up my first ever, 1 year key tag (I do N/A not A/A) and have been asked to tell my story on the last Friday of December (which is a very big meeting in my area). To think of where I was just 1 year ago almost to the day, makes me sick....but the journey so far has been enlightening. I've learned more about myself in this last year than in the last 42 years of my exsistance. To stay clean takes more than willpower....this is not an opinion, it's a FACT! You won't find many on this site that don't work some form of aftercare. Obviously, your an informed person, look around and find what fits you. BTW.....higher power (in N/A) does NOT have to be God. It is your understanding of a power greater than yourself! Keep posting, would love to know what you decide.
