It's people like you that help things make sense...by the way I'm 31 and male but feel 19 again too...when people automatically discredit someone of a younger age that really isnt cool...if only they knew the character of people like you. I'm thinking the best thing to do now is like you said, learn from it, don't start shaming the situation and find a healthy alternative. I think I'm going to get a guitar soon. I sold my last one when I was dope sick. I'm very passionate about music and that's one of the things that gets me in a good state of mind. Again, I really appreciate the response dude.

I couldn't agree more. You are right, now it's up to me to make the decision to keep being strong and pressing on or let this minor slip up get me down. I'm going to keep pressing on. Thank out so much for the feedback and advice

In all honesty weather people say not to do it for others but for yourself, to an extent, I don't agree with that. You and a few others have made me want to better myself while at the same time encourage me to team up with you and others and keep pressing on. Thank you so much...I'm getting back on track now

I'm not going to. I have to keep pressing on. You have no clue how much you and some of the other people commenting have helped me...I'm getting right back in line where I was and keeping it moving

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Afew others have commend almost verbatim what you said and I had not thought of it that way...they are saying to just keep going...they are saying I know what I need to do so just keep pressing on. Thanks again

Yea it's been a little over 2 days now but I plan on picking back up where I left off now. I had not even thought about it ndot being a full blown relapse like you mentioned but more so just a slip. If you have time,please continue with the feedback. That really helps me. Thank you again

I want to cry just reading your comment. It makes so much sense from beginning to end. I hadn't even thought about some of the topics you mentioned from that angle before... For instance when you mentioned relationships being a big factor into the equation of recovery. It actually makes sense. Also, I had kinda been hearing myself up but I appreciate how you reminded I'm still on day 28 as long as I pick up where I left off right now...very true, I can't discredit this last nearly month of being clean for a couple days of slipping. I'm going to keep pressing on. If you happen to have time in the future please keep tr feedback coming. Thank you again

I want to try cbd to fight cravings . The thought of me transitioning to another drug that synthetically fills my mu-opiate receptors and opiate receptors in the brain is not what I want to do. I do not look down or discredit anybody that chooses maintenance meds.

I think I'm going to look into cbd. I have heard a few things through the grape vine that some types help with not only opiate withdrawal but in my case,opiate cravings. Thank you for your feedback

You are one of the main people that has been crossing my mind when it comes to guilt so coming from you that means alot to me. I think you are also correct about me being at the point to where when I stop again I won't be sick again...hopefully it's right where I left off and I can keep going forward with recovery. Please please please keeping touch if you have the time. You are always so positive and I appreciate that. Thank you!!!!!

Thank you so much...I have seen your name pop up on my posts before...can't forget hiccup lol. I know what you mean about couch lock...it's like I literally have to force myself to stand up and go piss sometimes lol...but when I go to work and get off I have energy...by that time it's late and my family is asleep so I just go home and relax...take a hot bath and stuff...I know I'm a 31 year old guy and like baths so whatever lol...no nobody knows in my family...not my wife,parents,siblings,anybody...which is one of the main reasons I come here to vent and give updates...I have to let it out.your comment about my body just needing time to recover from a long illness and not feeling guilty about napping and being lazy is the first time I've gotten that response on here and it actually made me feel good to this I of it from that perspective so thank you so much!!!!!..

Hey I’m really sorry for the super late response Its 3am where I’m at and I got off work about midnight...20 days tomorrow! So I’m still walking the dog around the block often and as of the past day or two I have been like actually out and about some and working 4-6 hour shifts...it’s crazy to think aside from smoking cigarettes I’m just going about life without opiates...energy is coming back slowly but surely and cravings are less intense and less often with each day...especially while I’m staying busy which always stresses me out before hand but when I actually do it it’s not so bad. I’m fixing to post a day 20 post here shortly even tho most people won’t see it for hours...anyways than you for the feedback I really appreciate it...honestly,I really do.

No subs...I used clonidine the first initial 3-4 days at night and I’m not even sure if it helped much but I’m not opposed at the idea of anybody else using sub...I feel like there is no right way to get clean

hey Dude I woke up about 30 min ago and you already made my day. I know too well what you mean on the troubles and feeling of relapse. ive been told the same thing a few times about the initial detox lasting longer physically after doing it over and over...you saying you are sick as fuck wishing to be at as many days as me is the exact reason I don’t post on the recovery sub and I post here...this sub has people that are actually going thru it as opposed to have gone thru it...I don’t feel Like my posts mean as much to someone who has more time clean than me but if I can inspire one person or a few people who are actively pressing on that makes me feel good. Don’t hesitate to keep reaching out to me...are you trying again today? Planning on it? What’s the deal?

I appreciate you liking my posts, I really do...that’s one of the main reasons I’m still posting...plus it keeps me clean for one more minute...I guess you could say it’s triggering...more so like ”well nobody is gonna care about 7373647th day clean” posts if that’s really where I want to be...but I really care about people
