it's normal, just don't keep up no matter what.
when you get sick and tired of going thur with what
you're are going thur, I'll start doing something about it.
I use to take lots of shower, yes it's hard to just drag yourself in there.

It works in the same manner as not wanting to use drugs any more.
You got sick of the crap.

It is not just about stopping or abstance.
We must change our life style or behavior patterns.
Now that our mind is a little clearer our senses are coming back.
The feelings are actually a possitive thing to happen.
It basically telling us to do something about our lives.
If we don't keep up, and when we get sick and tired of
these bad feelings, we'll do something posistive in our lives.
Little posistive actions, like cleaning house a little bit at a time.
or cleaning out junk draws. Or take little walks outside to
just get out of the house for fresh air.
Or read recovery books....yes i know that books is heavy as hell,
just like that 2 ton phone.
Give yourself a break, just don't pick up no matter what.

Boredom can be very dangerous for recoverying addicts
earily in recovery, becuase back in our old using days
we pick up and used becuase we were bored.
That's why people over eat sometimes.
