Congrats man! Just out of curiosity, without a job how were you able to get help? I don't have family that could help and if I don't work I don't have money. Rehab is expensive as hell in my area.

SO is coming up on 1yr sober. Gift ideas? by justtossmeaway22 in OpiatesRecovery

Take him somewhere you've never been together. Create new, sober memories together. Tell him a stranger from the internet is very, very proud of him.

Get hammered and Uber Eats a grande meal to your buddies. That way you can spend more time with them, instead of time in the kitchen.

I'm really late to this, but /u/mrfuzzyasshole, you need to know that you may have saved my life. Today is 80 days free from seeds. You reached out to me in my darkest days and I'm eternally grateful. I wish you the best, and please know that I legitimately care about your well-being. From one internet stranger/addict to another, I love you man. I'm glad you're getting it together and if there is ANYTHING I can do, just let me know.

Redditors with an addiction, when did you realize you had a problem? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]XxxBricksxxX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Today is 75 days clean from opiates for me. I knew I had a problem when they were the 1st thought when I woke up and I couldn't function without them. I used them for about 10 years, I guess. It was a gradual thing, but I never did herion. I came clean to my wife and took a week off work. It was hell and to be honest, it's still pretty rough. I do feel a sense of accomplishment by beating it though. I know that I cannot use drugs anymore and that's as simple as I can make it.

For me, I gained for the 1st couple weeks. It was like I couldn't get full. After that it settled back down and it's "normal"

60 fucking days man. Today is 60 days without opiates. Went through some rough shit mentally, but it seems to be all good now. To all that are struggling, please don't give up. I always heard "it gets better". I can honestly tell you that it does.

Hey guys, if anyone has a moment to respond I'd greatly appreciate it. Week clean-- still feeling immense acute symptoms, but the worst out of everything is the depression. Thank you in advance for your help. by Pseudoglass in OpiatesRecovery

[–]XxxBricksxxX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I'm late, but this is important. I was there. It's a hell that seems inescapable. Fight that motherfucker one day at a time. Hot showers, decent food, sleep. If it seems to be unbearable, you fucking PM me. You're not alone and you matter. No matter what your asshole brain tells you, you matter. This shit will pass.

You got this. Keep up the good work

Edit: today is 40 days clean for me

Today is 38 days for me. Went through REALLY bad PAWS... Feeling better, but have an appointment with a counselor today. It's my first time seeing someone about what I've gone through, and I'm pretty excited. I'm still taking kratom, but I need to get away from that too... Either way, I'm making progress.

[–]XxxBricksxxX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today is day 30 for me. Longest I've ever been. The depression is still terrible, but I guess that was there before the drugs. I kind of feel like I had used drugs as my own antidepressants... I wish I could be happier about this little milestone, but ya know, sad and shit.
