During my sobriety Iâve been taking something called suboxone. You could liken it to an opiate blocker, though it does have a degree of a sedative effect.
This becomes unnoticeable after a while.
2 months ago I decided to stop taking it, as it was no longer required.
And so it turns out the mild sedation was not so mild at all. I was emotionally numb to a degree that I had forgotten what either positive or negative really felt like.
It has been tough. I have no desire to return to my old life, I have no cravings.
But coming back into the world full of feelings and a nervous system thatâs been half asleep for a decade has been really, really hard. Everything feels so intense, both emotionally and physically.
I love it. But itâs hard work. Iâm stuck in this âreconfigurationâ stage and I think Iâve mindlessly said âman, today has been a hard dayâ every day for a few weeks now.
No one I know in real life knows about whatâs happening. I just needed to get it out of my system.
Thanks for listening.
