I'm trying to quit using and I don't know if it's me but I find that when I'm sober I feel weird. Kind of like I'm a little high. could it be that I havent been sober for so many years that sober is the new high? IDK tell me what you guys have experienced please.



another thing I find it easier to stay sober when I ditch my enabler boyfriend should I just get rid of him too.

Being sober is kind of it's own high. It's only been just shy of too weaks but the excitement of future prospects is it's own driving force. Feels great but I'm pretty sure that will subside after a while and I will be left to my own devices to make me feel good (without drugs). So what I'm telling myself is enjoy this new feeling but don't expect it to sustain itself.

Great job on being sober though, keep it up!!

I went through all kinds of feelings when I was getting clean..pretty much felt like a rollercoaster ride. I can say that I am "high on life" now

As far as the enabler bf, personally I would get rid of him. Being held accountable and having to face the consequences of my action has been a huge part of my recovery.

Oh, and welcome to SR!!!

Hugs and prayers,

I feel the same, my problem is not only my mental obsession to get high, but living in a drug addicted household is the worst part. where they throw it in your face all day. Like its ok. and i have nowhere else to go. I refuse to stay trapped in my addiction which is what keeps me going,
