Keep up abstinence: 10 years is a long time. Your opiate receptors may be missing some of the excitement, but u went a long way to be here. Congratulations. Don't give up. Do sports, socialize, keep busy with pleasurable activities. Treat withdrawal sx as needed, nausea? Pain? Diarrhea.. or is it inly pdychological malaise? Talk to your GP.and also atten NA meetings for the longest. They are a good reminder!
