It took me a few months to find joy again, but I did
I didn't realise how deeply buried I was til I got out.
I rediscovered the real me, and I rediscovered a life I'd forgotten. I can say it was exactly the same - I drugged and drank for nearly 30 years and much water had flowed under my bridge...
but in a way it was *better*...I had the more mature me, with everything I'd learnt, there in the mix now
an emotional flatlining is pretty common - things started to change for me around 3 months.
Hope that happens even sooner for you - you're on the right track, I promise
