| Subie explained the pink cloud phenomenon really well. I just wanted to add, in my experience, people coming off of opiates don’t seem to get the pink cloud for a while. Once the acute wd is over, that’s typically when our "pink clouds" come into play.
People coming off of other drugs seem to get the "pink cloud" effect pretty quickly. |
I remember the pink cloud when I finally got off of a year long crack addiction, although I had no idea it was called a pink cloud until today! It was the very first time in my life that I actually loved and appreciated life. I felt like I could do anything, and didn’t need anybody because I felt so amazing. I never experienced that feeling before unless I was high on something. It was very surreal. I was very confident that I never had to use drugs again, and felt like I finally caught up with the rest of the world in seeing how beautiful and wonderful life could be and I actually had hope for the future. Now that I look back, I actually acted pretty cocky during that time and I felt like I had everything figured out. And now here I am again. Addicted to yet another drug. Once I get on Suboxone in a few days, at least now I’ll know what it is if it happens this time, and that unfortunately, it doesn’t just last forever.
