Recovering

i think that no one really can tell you this, i´m on day 57.
the difference in life is already enourmous but it depends on how you´re addiction is.
I was heavely addicted, a real problem user.
for years and years..
I tried several of times to get this far, and it has gotten easier over time.
I would just say, don´t waste another day..
it doesn´t matter when you are fully recovered..

 

The general guideline is 90-days, but I think that is just an average. One thing that I have learned about human nature is that we like to quantify things; it helps us measure progress, give us cold-hard measurements. When it comes to recovering from addiction, I think milestones is a much better measurement of progress, not the number of days. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that each individual is different. Some can do it in 90-days... Some in less days... Some in more days. When you make it to 90-days and if you feel like nothing has changed or you have made little progress, do not be discouraged. Just keep fighting the good fight!

 

It's been 4 months for me. still in a flat line, no libido, no drive. wet dreams twice, morning wood appears, but only 80% of the time and there are days when they don't occur. the most important thing for me is to recover, of course I would like to recover as soon as possible, but basically I know that I will never go back to this shit. what's amazing about a flat line is that I'm not attracted to it at all.

 

Everyone is different... Some people take more time to recover than others.

 

It can take 90 days to do your first reboot. Full recovery takes 12 to 36 months to ensure that you’re not going to have a relapse within that. How long really takes for you depends on how desperate and how fast you attack the issues that you encounter in Recovery and how much you’re willing to change and give up to create a new life. If you hold onto things and resist change it can take years decades, or more before you see significant progress.
