Dallas Bragg talks about meth recovery beyond quitting: sleep stays broken for months, your body takes forever to normalize, sex feels weird sober, and you grieve losing the lifestyle itself. Real recovery means reconnecting with who you actually are.
All right, things nobody tells you about Tina recovery. Your sleep will be weird for months. Do not expect your physiological system to return back to normal right away. You put your body through hell. You may gain weight. Your body is going to want to return to your normal body-programmed set weight. You may want fried foods and ice cream, but this is the time to choose a healthy diet. Sober sex is awkward at first. Yes, sex without it may seem impossible or weird, but you will find it rewarding again, and you're going to love it more than you could ever imagine. Grief. You will go through a grieving process. You are going to naturally grieve your life in chemsex and your relationship with the drug. That is perfectly fine and quite necessary. Quitting is easy. Quitting is the easy part. Stopping the substance is only the beginning. You are on a quest to return home to your true self, armed with the learning that the meth experience gave you. What a gift! What did no one tell you about Tina recovery that you wish you had?
