[mo...] Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 "You know you're RECOVERING WHEN ... " You start to have hours or full days where you don't feel dread or despair, but instead you feel joy and optimism. You start to have hours or full days where you feel so good that you DON'T NEED TO paint, do a crossword, work on a project, be on benzo buddies, mindlessly thumb through a smart phone, read, take a car ride, or watch TV to distract yourself from the suffering because you feel good enough to just sit, and do literally nothing except enjoy the feeling of your healed brain. 😊 You start to have hours or full days where you begin to forget what acute withdrawal felt like. You knew there was pain, but you forget how it actually felt. Hours pass by (or even a full day- I haven't gotten to a full day yet) - where you realize that time has passed and you have not thought about withdrawal and your brain was not looking for nor focusing on symptoms. You start to have hours or full days where you feel intense love and connection to everything living, and you no longer pay mind to the petty things in this life that are not worth spending not even one second worrying about. Beautiful, I think this is so well phrased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
