Hey Sherwood, to add on to what Cthompson said, yes everything you’re feeling is normal. Actually reading your post gave me flashbacks of what the first 3 months for me was like. I am in month 7 as well and while I’m still in it I think I’m recovering a lot faster than I previously thought I was. I ...

Hey Sherwood, I know your question was not directed towards me but I will take the liberty to give you peace of mind. Yes it will get better, my timeframe was similar to y’all albeit I’m 21 and currently just over 7 months. I was in the exact same place as you at 2 months and I can tell you firsthan...

Hey Hopeful, takenthis advice with a grain of salt but what works for me is not thinking about it as much as I can help it, obviously this forum is a tool but I would delete the app. The only thing it does when you open it is remind you of the negativity when what you really want to be doing is gett...

Great thanks! As mentioned only if you’re willing and available, we all saw that you made it through! Was just checking to see how things have been since!

Hey clean, just wanted to say I’m very grateful for your threads as they helped me tremendously in the very early days. While albeit I’m still going through it, I am at a place where it is not nearly as bad and I know I have the mental strength and willpower to see this through the rest of the way t...

however, there is hope. for about a whole month and a half before starting college, i was completely symptom free. one of the only things holding me back probably is the fact of how messed up i was the day of quitting because i had had a bad trip on lsd. i really do believe this made everything so ...

Robbi3 I’m in my junior year of college and I can tell you that those feelings are absolutely normal for new kids in college being away from home and your family, friends, etc. for the first time but once you start getting into the return of things you’ll meet people and make new friends and after ...

Hey Dane, thanks for your post. I admit that I have not kept up with your story but from your last post it is very similar to mine from the time and age. I am just at 7 months now and while I’m definitely not out of the woods yet things have gotten a lot calmer on my end I must admit. All I can say ...

As cleanofgreen said in an earlier post “it’s always darkest before the dawn”. This could just be the final stages of paws that your in, like the last push. I can’t tell you this for a fact but you could be completely better once this phase is over with. That being said this will happen, personally ...

Cthompson your therapist is right, you need to keep sticking this out and be easier on yourself. I wouldn’t personally go the AD rout and don’t feel I need to but I know they’ve helped some people get through this (but whether they stopped using them or not I don’t know as they are difficult to quit...

Read Robb1e_g posts, he just came on here after 13 months and he is totally fine now, even after admitting to having those thoughts for the first 11 months of his recover. It’s part of Paws. It’s not you. You’re brain is essentially playing tricks on you because it wants you to feed it. Power throug...

Cthompson I know you don’t really mean what you’re saying, you’re obviously in a wave right now and are expressing your emotions. If you really do feel this way then you need to get help, it is not worth it. I recommend watching Ryan Donnelly on YouTube, he goes into full depth on opioid withdrawal ...
