The way we feel during our recovery can change. Also, our addiction learns to adapt and find ways around our defenses and looks for loopholes. You might also hit an Emptiness Phase where everything feels bland. Just keep on going and you will continue to feel better.
My name comes from the song by the Bleachers. It was my anthem song during my detox. After 500+ posts I decided I needed an avatar. I found this simple one online.
Oh, very cool. Well I haven't hit the emptiness phase and I don't think I will. I feel like I won't because I'm doing a lot more than just abstaining. I think the fact that I'm changing my outlook on the world leaves no room for extreme emptiness.
I thought I replied back to this, my bad! Dude, imagine all the times you relapse and how you feel afterwards. I haven't felt that way in 2 months. How's that for empowerment and having control over your life?
You'll get there soon. I'm not waiting so hurry up
Yeah, I've always felt shit after relapses. Felt drained mentally, physically and emotionally.
Since my last relapse (55 days since then at the time of writing). So not far off 2 months. But I feel empowered, motivated, driven and in control of my life.
It's not far til I get there. I know I can do this!
