I've noticed since the warmer weather has kicked in, sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I'm a little sticky from sweat, mind you I'm almost a year clean, but I have back issues so when I wake up with backaches & sweaty, it reminds me of how I felt when I was detoxing, and it immediately spikes my anxiety. Just wondering if anyone else ever feels like that sometimes when you know your clean...

I felt like that off and on for the first year or so after I quit but I havent been bothered with it since. If there is such a thing as a recovering drug addict to feel normal then I suppose I feel as close to normal as one can feel given my past history with abuse.

HUGS!

Your body has a deep, deep memory all it's own.

It could be that your body is still processing some trauma from the way it was treated. In addition, the Neuroendocrine system takes a long time to normalize after detox.

What are your thoughts when you awaken?

I get surreal feelings when I wake up in the morning. It takes me time to tune back into reality...which can be rather painful, actually.

Sometimes certain medications like some antidepressants for example can make those things occur. You may want to mention that to your doctor.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
