Thread: Just realized something!!!

I was thinking last night about how I would get excited about taking the pain medication. I would be so happy knowing that I was going to get high. I remeraber when I quit taking the meRAB that I thought I would probably not have that excited, giddy feeling again.

Well, I have realized something!! While I was on the pain meRAB, I wasn't excited about anything. I can remeraber taking trips that were going to be so much fun, and I wasn't excited about it. I didn't really look forward to anything.

I am starting to get those feelings back again. Planning vacations are fun again and I am actually excited about traveling again. Little things, like planning a weekend of hiking and going out to dinner with my husband make me happy.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I can actually FEEL again. Does this make sense to anyone else? I look forward to little things again. While lying in bed last night, I thought, "I think this is what living is about!" I am excited about life again and I can feel happiness. I think I was so nurab for so long, I forgot how it feels to FEEL.

I am so blessed to have these feelings again and to have all of you whom, without, I would not be having these feelings.

Have a great day, everyone!!! TaCot

I am so happy for you! When the fog lifts and we feel TRUE feelings that are not evoked from us because of life and not a pill... it's a powerful feeling! I am so glad you were able to experience that!!!

Sobriety is a beautiful thing!!! You have a lot to be proud of!!!!

Thanks Emsmom, It sounRAB like you do know what I am talking about. Isn't it great? THanks for the post. TaCot

Denon, I am glad you have energy and are doing so much better. Congrats to you, my friend. TaCot

For me, I never really felt euphoric when I took the Percocet, it just relieved the pain for me. I would look forward to taking them as well. I realized during my recovery stage, that I was emotionless while I was taking the drug. I never felt anything. I was highly appreciative of my wife and her help, but that was about it. Now that I'm drug free the emotions are coming back and I am able to enjoy life again. It's like waking up from some dreary sleep. I have so much energy now its unbelievable. I'm back to making goals and plans for not only myself, but for my family.

i think the only thing u can get oxcited about when on pills is finding the right pills..haha..i know when we planned a camping trip last summer, the only thing that rode my mind the week prior to the trip was..oh man, can i get and afford enough pills to last me the week?? I am still currently an addict (until monday when i go to the doc!!!!) but i know myself i am tired of nothing honestly fun, not being excited and revolving my lifes movement around those darn things! look out life, i am coming back full force!

Wow denon!!

That sounRAB great!! I wish I had that much energy!! A lot of my energy has come back but I still feel sluggish... A lot of people on here are full of energy now they are clean and I am still not there..... Anyone know why??

Hi everyone, I feel the same way, today will be 39 days drug free, off of suboxone which was the worst withdrawl by far. I am 4 months off of the opiates!!!! I am getting my energy back and last night I slept from 11:30pm and didn't wake up until 5:00am. That is the longest sleep I have had in 39 days. Things are looking up. Now I have to get my chronic pain in check and maybe I could live a normal life.

To the original poster and everyone else

congratulations and let today be the beginning of a new day for all of us.
