First 5 weeks - in rehab, body in shock, mind rewiring, halfway didn't know which was was up.
First 3 weeks home - pink cloud
60-90 days (ish) - severe lethargy and depression. Restarted psych meds after many years off...depression started to lift as they took effect.
Next 2 months - IOP. Learned a crap-ton, cravings gradually vanished, started remaking my body. Quit the smoking habit I'd reacquired in rehab.
Month 5 - readjusting to the world. Tried and put a hold on AA, started therapy.
Months 6-7 - never felt better. Mild and fleeting cravings only. Seriously started remaking my life again.
