I am within a week of 90 days off hydro. I am using suboxone.
I was at a session with my counselor and he asked my to write a plot-line or narrative about the experience. We have talked about the use of milestones as sort-of new starting points. We were discussing how long it "really" takes addicts to realize what it means to live as a sober person......for the rest of his/her life!!!!! It is no longer about stopping a behavior, it is about creating new ones. Creating a whole new life!
Anyway......we were laughing because it seems like I got some sort of new "insight" every day for the first couple of months. Only now am I creating the actual plan rather than looking for the quick fix.
I was just wondering..........
How long did it take you to realize what quitting REALLY means. Was there any type of "Holy SH**!!!!!!" moments.
For me, I just had the moment of "Okay, I haven't had a pill for a LONG time. Now what the f#@& am I supposed to do!?!?"
I've been reading here that "quitting is the easy part" for months now!!!

Hey Jer!
Way to go on coming up on 90 days.
I had several "Holy s***" moments, and I still get them from time to time. One of the biggest ones was going out with friends and still having a good time without being high.
Cleaning the house without pills was a holy s*** moment. It was more like "Holy s***, this isnt fun at all", as opposed to being stoned and not caring.
Hang on, your going to have plenty more of those moments. Life just doesn't stop.
