Giving up drugs…
Does anyone else have experience of being on hard psychotic drugs then getting completely clean? How much better did you get? I’m starting to find a stable place abd I wondered if it was just wishful thinking goggles.

He is an athlete who participates professionally in sports such as swimming and cycling. Sometimes, he goes running and is in a good mood because of sports.
@Anonymous here I like to walk. I was just wondering what kind of mental health recovery people were having.
@NotSoNewb82 After being clean of drugs, do you mean people who stay clean?
@Anonymous here Yes. I’ve been clean for over eight years now and OCD and anxiety have been through the roof till recently. I’m just starting to settle down and I wondered if anyone else experienced the same thing.
@NotSoNewb82 I understand. Life sometimes gets complicated, and when we have OCD, it makes it harder because we see it differently. So that's great you also stay clean from drug. As I understand you know most of the things about ocd and try all of good things same as meditation. I I guess you need to believe in yourself and believe that everything is gonna be okay. Most of the time, we resist the feelings we have without noticing it. By resisting we keep the emotions stuck.
@Anonymous here Yes, I do need to believe in myself more. I do well some days but others are hard.
@NotSoNewb82 Also I know a lot of people struggling with anxiety and depression but they don't know have ocd and they don't want to help themselves. But you know and you trying to recovery from ocd. Just be more positive and believe on yourself . You could left the drugs and you have been clean 8 years, you can recovery from ocd too. Everything is possible. Sometimes we don't see where we go wrong in our journey. I'm sure you can find it if you just believe and have faith in yourself.
@Anonymous here That’s very nice, thank you.
@NotSoNewb82 That's a good point. Even nature isn't always the same. Some days are cold, and some days are sunny.Remember, every storm will end, even if it takes a long time. You were in this storm. Nothing bad is gonna last forever.
@NotSoNewb82 You're welcome. Wish you the best.🙂
@Anonymous here There seems to have been drama forever. I want my happy life to start properly. There is so much going wrong right now.
@NotSoNewb82 You will find your happiness again. When we truly want something, reaching is inevitable and we will definitely achieve it.
I know someone he completely clean about 10 years. He has been in some rehabilitation center.
He has been in a rehabilitation center for two or three weeks, I guess.
@Anonymous here How is his mental health now?
He used to use a crack cocaine for years.
@Anonymous here How is his mental health now? Has he made a good recovery?
@NotSoNewb82 Yes, his mental health is good. He did not use any medication, just some group support for a while.
You mean coming off of prescription drugs? I’ve been on some pretty strong prescription, psychiatric medication. Coming off of it was not easy.  I am glad that I came off of it, however, I would be lying to you if I said that it was an easy process. I had some really rough spots. 
@mav6 No not that.
