Day 14 sober today, my experience so far

My initial withdrawal came with confusion, some anxiety and a feeling of missing something. Depressive moments where there too

Tomorrow I will try a meeting I only had been there once two years ago but couldnt go again because I was doing another meeting on mondays.

In a few weeks Im also having an appintement to do therapy again in which form exactly I dont know yet.

I am proud of myself for 14 days again and I am getting better I feel it, I have a sharper mind and can see clearer.

I feel often on the verge of tears because all the emotions I didnt have on ketamine come back now. But Im happy to be able to cry. I was swimming again two times the last two weeks on top of my normal gym routine so I feel a lot better physically!

My bladder mostly annoys me at night when I have to pee up to 6 or more times. I dont drink anything besides water as sugary drink make it much much worse. (Ketamine is very bladder toxic)

Today I went to the sauna and at home had a “depression nap” for 4 hours because I was unmotivated. I want to avoid that of course in the future. Most days I am active but Im also just working 4 hours a week so I have lots of time to fill.

Also Im having problems with a girl Im seeing we already have a few years history and such conflict obviously doesnt help recovering. I am unsure how to handle the situation with her and I dont want to have a possibly good sober day ruined by all these mixes feelings

Also now that Im a bit more clear headed I cant help but remember all the weight I lost using. My longest sober time was 92 days and I had a much more healthy weight and all the muscles are gone now. I dont care about societal standards of men needing muscles I remind myself that but I realized its a personal thing: I miss this healthy fit feeling of my body. Health is wealth and I feel like I lost a lot of myself in drugs not just mentally but physically too.

All in all Ill keep u updated and whoever is fighting, Im with you and we can do it!:muscle::heartpulse:

Sounds good! Keep up the good work.
When they say 'pickup the phone", this is my new endeavor as well. So i “picked up the phone”.
I am on day one, but have a good approach.
Call a previous sponser, 90 and 90. and dont pickup. Out of entire life 90 and 90 isnt a whole lot to ask.
Take care, about to head into work w the airlines. Another reason to do the deal

@Dreams welcome! Early recovery can be difficult just try to be busy and take it slow. You can do this and it is worth it. You don’t need to be in a hurry to do anything. Let yourself breathe and heal and love yourself through it. Sounds like you’re on the right track but I would just suggest that you find more stuff to fill your time. Make it go by a little easier. That’s all! Hope you have a wonderful recovery my friend
