When will I feel normal?

[Ava85]

I am a month into my sobriety and I still feel so off. When will this ever get any easier?

Are you doing any exercising?  Walking is really good as it gets our natural endorphins going.

Thanks guys. I just came across this site and just reading it made me feel a million times better. It is so nice to know I am not alone in all of this.

Congrats on one month I am 110days and it was about 45 days for me to feel normalish then it got strange again recovery is full of up's and down's and thats what friends are for to laugh at the good times, and make you laugh through the bad...
it gets better

Reaching out to others is a good start.  Recovery is a slow process and needs to be so we can take it all in.  We spent so long hiding behind our drugs and when we clean up we do feel alone and naked.  You are never alone here~

Roxy, heroin, anything I could get my hands on, but mostly roxy.

I hope you got that response. Like I said I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out, but I am so lost and for a long time pills were my only friend. Now that I don't have them anymore I feel alone. I thought about going to meetings, but I'm not sure I am the type of person to just do it and go. I do need to surround myself with people that understand what I am going through and can support me.

Congrats on 1 month clean!!!  It does take time to get everything working again.  What did you come off of?
