FINALLY DONE! !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm done!!!!!!! Yea!!!!! 15 days off methadone and 2 whole days off loratabs. ..I feel great as far as w/ds and health wise I'm feeling better but not a 100 percent yet....just a question I did drugs to repress my awful childhood and now all these past feelings I've held down for so long is hitting me like a ton of bricks and I'm not good at handling emotions and I was wndering if anyone else ever felt this way?????

Great Job..Just keep on truckin forward and do not look back...Right.???.
The above posting said it...But I also find that going to meetings and being around other addicticts helps us to vent out the pass or present..You always find some one with the same issues as you have..You have a big weight lifted when you share with another one...Hang tight I am proud of you....
God Bless

Hey great job!!   Yes I have felt that way. The detox and temporary lack of natural endorphins are magnifying the feelings,I'm sure. You will feel better as the brain starts to produce the natural feel good chemicals again.
If there are things you feel you need to work through you could see a therapist but just give yourself some time and I bet you will be feeling better mentally soon. You have a great attitude   :)
