Withdrawal sucks ass. I should have checked into rehab last time, but didn’t. I had emergency numbers on standby and someone to check on me, but that was about it.

I was in bed for about a week, but pulled through. It took about 6 months for the cravings to slow down, and another 6 until my brain started to function properly. My weight shot up about 50 lbs, but I have finally lost all of that. Heart problems that me and my doc were trying to figure out disappeared as well.

Learning life again was weird and I am a much different person now. People have called me nice and fun to be around, which is super weird. Life does get better.
