[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686477, member: 20267"] When I finally did wake up, I had never felt so sick in my life. Skin and eyes were yellow, I had almost no control over my muscles... And she was PISSED! As she had every right to be. It didn't cross my mind and the time, but that was incredibly selfish. I mean, her teenage daughter lived there and could have found me... I felt very, VERY bad for it. They are good people. I am sorry about your son. I still go back and forth as far as depression. I mean, I have suffered from clinical depression, the kind where you have to talk yourself into just getting out of bed in the morning. Where you are literally just counting the hours until you can go back to bed. Nothing really bothers you in particular, you just feel so.... numb... Haven't felt that in a few months, and the longer I stay clean, the better my entire outlook on living. I think that, with enough clean time, your son will get there, too. I still have bad days, but for the most part, I am content. Something I couldn't have said for years prior to last year. It's a feeling that, during active addiction, I couldn't imagine having. This is what I mean about how the physical detox part is so easy compared to what follows. No matter how horribly ill and uncomfortable I felt, the crushing depression that persists for months at a time is what makes most people fail, myself especially. [/QUOTE]
