  • Was going to go to the gym but will rest tonight instead. I think I'd be pushing too hard if I went tonight.

    So:

    Feed the cats

    Make dinner

    Setup drumkit and have a play

    Maybe some video games

    Cuddle with Fluffball.

  • During my sobriety I've 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. I've had a constant underlying headache from various parts of my body being incredibly tense since the beginning.

    But coming back into the world full of feelings and a nervous system that's been half asleep for a decade has been really, really hard. Everything feels so intense, both emotionally and physically.

    I love it. But it's hard work. I'm stuck in this "reconfiguration" stage and I think I've mindlessly said "man, today has been a hard day" every day for a few weeks now.

    I've played the best music I've probably played in my life over the last 2 months. I feel like myself. I'm excited. But it's a struggle. Were I not already somewhat used to dealing with stuff like this by myself, I think I would have run back to the medicine.

    No one I know in real life knows about what's happening. I just needed to get it out of my system.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Have been out of the gym for 2 months-ish. There was a huge billing issue and I couldn't be fucked dealing with it.

    All sorted now.

    Straight there after work. Bring on the happy chemicals.
