hi, i have recently quit a 4 year addiction to opiates, at the end of my addiction i was up to anywhere from 200 to 500 mgs a day of opiates, (hydrocodone,
morphine,
oxycodone) honestly, whatever i could get my hands on, i never limited myself to one type of opiate, even though they are pretty much all the same. anyways, i have been clean for almost 3 months now, thanks to
methadone, which is a miracle drug. if you take it properly and don't abuse them, they give you the satisfaction that come with opiates, but you don't end up with the harsh withdrawls the next day. well i've quit before, but not as long as i have now, this the longest i've successfully quit, and i think it's because of my psychological state, this time my mind actually wants to quit and get a better life, as opposed to feeling forced, or not having enough money. this time it's just different.
anyways, i would like to know if anyone else has been through this...my biggest problem with being sober is not having the energy i used to before i started taking the pills. it's also hard to have such a huge burst of energy when you're taking the pills, and not having that anymore. i feel like i have no motivation or energy to do anything. it's so hard to get up to even clean or anything.
what i would like to know is if anyone has been through the same thing, and if so, what did you take to get energy back? are there any vitamins or supplements that you took, or anything else you did or took to get back some of your energy, i would love to know, so i can get on with my life. this is the last chapter in my long addiction, i would like to close the book on it once and for all. i appreciate any information anyone has for me. if anyone is going through an addiction, or is getting sober, and has any questions or just needs some support, i am here to lend and ear as well as some good advice. thank you for listening!!!!!!
