Welcomeand Congrats on 3 days! I can only tell you from my personal experience that it was weeks for me to get back to feeling somewhat 'normal' The lack of energy, depression and general crappy feeling started to subside for me right around the 2 week mark. After about 2-3 months the urge was still there, I still have it sometimes now and have accepted that it will probably always come & go. I had to find something to put my mind into. It was the only way for me to get out of my own stupid head and not think about the fatigue and depression as much. I found for me that if I was doing something then the cravings weren't as bad. When a craving would come or I started getting that 'feeling' I would distract myself and do anything! Even if it was just washing the dishes or reading a book. I would do anything to make me NOT think about using. Good luck, you are in the right place and keep posting!
