Honest to God question, in terms of being fucked up with Joepedo and then just this easy, simple reversal of things that were fucking normal in society 20 years ago, is this what a junkie going clean feels like? As if you don't have the burdening presence on you and all the jitters and withdrawls (let's say this was the Butler attempt) and you're back and healthy and feeling good?
Disclaimer: This is anecdotal, personal (not mine) experience. People experience things in different ways, so someone else might have had experiences that directly contradict this.
tl;dr at the bottom.
Based on what I heard from a friend:
Not quite the same. Because hard drugs (my friend only did coke, but he heard that heroin is just as good) are really fucking good. In fact, it's quite the opposite. You re-discover the joy and wonder of being a child again, when you do hard drugs.
"Holy shit, I had forgotten life can feel this good. That I can feel this much happiness for more than a nanosecond."
I don't think you're ever seeing the world the same way again, after doing a lot of coke for more than a few weeks. No matter how clean you get afterwards and how much time passes, you'll never forget what that high feels like, and there are very few, rare things in sober life that can make you feel anything close to it, again.
It creates a void that will always be there, beneath the surface. Some days you don't even think about it, but others are not fun.
It's not hell, because if you have a healthy life, most days are great and you don't miss it at all. So you can almost completely overcome it. But everyone has bad days now and then, and yours are going to be a bit worse than a normal person's.
And as much of a struggle sober life can be, it's nothing compared to the misery that is addict life.
That is hell. It's like living with a demon on your shoulders. Yes, my friend misses coke like almost nothing else, but he's never going back to that life because it's fucking misery most of the time, and I'm not even talking about the coming down, the day after.
So it goes like:
no drugs (life is alright) -> drugs (life is kind of amazing, for a time) -> stop drugs (life is fucking miserable, for a time) -> no drugs, again (life is alright again, but not as much as before)
"is this what a junkie going clean feels like?"
No, because there's no magic day where all the good things happen and everything feels like before, again. You are never the same, again. And the process of getting better is very gradual.
"As if you don't have the burdening presence on you and all the jitters and withdrawls"
In my friend's experience, jitters and physical withdrawals symptoms are not what you're worried about. They are just a fraction of the fight. After they go away you still have much stronger demons to deal with, so you don't even celebrate much once they're gone, because you're still struggling with doing everything you can just to not go after another hit.
Now, the mental withdrawals will stay with you forever (or at least for many, many years). It's what I mentioned, above. Only a healthy life, in all aspects, can overcome it.
"and you're back and healthy and feeling good?"
You can go back to 99,98% of what you were, before the drugs, but not 100%. Realistically it's not going to be that high, for most people. The devil takes something from you when you go down that road and you don't get to have it back.
tl;dr: No, getting clean from serious drug addiction will not have you feeling the exact same way as before you ever used it.
As my friend tells it, anyway. I'm sure there are other people with very different experiences who would disagree. Drugs can affect people differently.
If you're looking for a metaphor, maybe it's like... Being set free after being kept as hostage for years? Or any other reversible, long term traumatic event that doesn't fuck too much with your physiology.
Newfag fagposting. Many such cases!
